Maintenance - December 27

On the 27th of December 2017, starting from 7:00 CET (26th of December, 10 PM PST), the Open Beta servers will not be available for 4 hours due to the application of Update 0.23.4343

Commander Progression Reset

Due to the commander skill changes introduced in Update 0.23, we are resetting commander skills for all players for free. Additionally, Rank 10 to 15 Commanders will reset to Rank 10 with their Commander Experience saved - they can immediately be promoted again.

Important Changes and Fixes

• Fixed a bug that caused client settings to reset every time the client is launched
• Fixed the T-62 Veteran bug that caused it to appear as both Premium and Battle-Hardened and allowed players to sell it for an incorrect amount of Credits (the vehicle will be activated with the launch of this update)
• Fixed a bug where platoons (including five player ones) had to wait for an excessively long time in the matchmaking queue before being able to Special Operations
• Fixed a bug where platoons could not enter Special Operations correctly if one of the members wasn’t specifically on the same Special Operations stage as the others
• Fixed a bug where the Battle button became unavailable for the entire PvE mode if a platoon attempted to enter a Special Operation with one of the platoon’s players not having it available

• Fixed a number of issues causing the client to crash
