Public Beta 1.02.57 is Now Available

Post by HybridSpyda »

Hi Everyone,

A new Public Beta is now available for testing!

It is available from the Members Area as well as the Public Download area.

This public beta is also available on Steam, you will need to right click the game in your Steam library, select Properties and navigate to the BETAS tab; from there, opt into the Public Beta by selecting it from the drop down menu.

This public beta is also available on GOG, you will need to click the 'MORE' button in your GOG library, select Settings, turn Beta Channels ON and then select the Open Beta Channel from the drop-down menu.

Please see the v1.02.57 Beta Change Log below.

New Features and Rule Changes
1. Ground Element Mapping added to Unit Table of Equipment [TOE] Window. When turned on by checking the box, the window displays the specific ground element called for by the TOE, and the specific ground elements currently in the unit and what ground type slot they are occupying.

Bug Fixes
1. Some aircraft factories were not expanding as they should have. Fixed.
2. Forts were not building to level 5. Fixed.
3. Production screen – Clicking on the number of units for a type of ground element, where the number of units was non-zero, could lead to a CR screen showing no units. Fixed.
4. Unit ground elements can get merged as a result of duplicate ground element deletion. This can lead to rare cases of units becoming extremely over strength. Fixed.

Data and Scenario Changes
1. 1944 May Start, D-Day, and Operation Diadem - Removed non-connected railyard in Anzio.
2. Torch to Tunisia - Removed non-connected railyard.
3. 4th Supreme Command:
- M-36 tank destroyer changed to Heavy Tank Destroyer
- 75mm Pack Howitzer changed to Infantry Gun
- 105mm Light Howitzer (and British 95mm Howitzer) changed to Heavy Infantry Gun
- 105mm Howitzer (AM ONLY) changed to Light Artillery
- Medium Tank removed as a CS tank substitution
- ALL substitutions removed for Heavy Tank
- SP Artillery removed as Heavy SP Artillery substitution
- Medium Tank removed as a Heavy Cavalry Tank substitution
- Political rating of new high leadership increased to 9 (Manstein, Rommel) to avoid being kicked out for minor reasons
4. Ground Elements and Ground Types:
- M-36 tank destroyer changed to Heavy Tank Destroyer
- 155mm Howitzer (AM ONLY) changed to Heavy Artillery
- Medium Tank removed from the substitution lists from the following Tank types: Heavy Tank, CS Tank, Heavy Cav Tank, Flame Tank

Happy Gaming!
