v0.9.8.10 Mini-Update Released!
Some players have been complaining of connection issues with ShellShock Live for a long time. Today's mini-update adds a new system that intelligently tries to reconnect users disconnected by an 'EndRead' or 'ReceivedBytes == 0' error. If reconnected successfully, you should never notice you were disconnected in the first place. Previously, you would have been kicked out of the game (and match) and forced to reconnect from scratch. This feature is early in development, so it might not always work, but it's a start.
For those of you affected by connection issues, please let me know if this update helps improve the situation.
Thanks!

v0.9.8.9 Released!
- Added 2 New Prestige Weapon Sets:
- Pentagram > Pentaslam (Level 87 Unlock)
- Fury > Rage (Level 98 Unlock)
- Language translation accuracy greatly improved. More languages coming soon!
- Please feel free to help us continue to improve translations here: https://crowdin.com/project/shellshock-live - Upgraded Unity engine to v5.6.3 for several stability improvements
- A couple other small bug fixes
Help Us Translate!
I've just set up a project on Crowdin for ShellShock Live, which will allow the community to help add, improve, and vote on translations. Here's the link:
If you're fluent in another language, your help would be greatly appreciated! Please feel free to join through the site and help out where you can.
I'm also planning to make translating weapon names optional via an in-game setting. Some players might want to keep them in English while the UI is localized.
Thanks in advance for the help!
