Hello all,

I wanted to update everyone regarding the status of the 1.1.0 patch. Things have been going well and we have recently started testing internal builds for various territories. This is a significant patch with new features such as the integration of Punkbuster and the newly redesigned server browser so more extensive testing is required. Thanks for being patient and I will update you again next week with our progress.

Hi Everyone!

I wanted to provide a quick update on the 360 patch and its progress. At this time Microsoft is currently testing it and it’s going well. It’s looking like with testing it will still be the end of April but it might end up being a very early May release.

As soon as we hear some more news we will let you know. The team put lots of hard work in this update and we really think you’ll enjoy it.

Kaos Studios has informed us that some of the recent Xbox Live problems are because of maintenance on the Xbox live System.

Apparently the recent problems with connecting to matches had to do with maintenance that was being performed on Xbox Live.

If an issue is affecting performance of Xbox Live it should be shown in the “status widget” on the Xbox Live Support page:

According to Kaos Studios, since the next patch is so big, they are changing it from 1.0.3 to 1.1. Take a look:

Due to the fact that the upcoming patch contains a substantial number of features and fixes, we have changed the number from 1.0.3 to 1.1.0. The patch is currently in testing and we should have more news soon.
