2020/2021 Winter Balance Update NOW LIVE

Apologies everyone, but we won't be able to get a hotfix live today. We are targeting Monday.

Thank for keeping us informed

Thank you Balance Team!

Yeah, thx for your passion, work and Expertise.

Hey everyone. We're aware of current issues with last week's balance patch and are working to address them. We had hoped to get this out today, but need more time to address everything. I plan to update everyone when it's ready to go live. Thanks for your patience.

Will this upcoming patch also address the Map editor (Worldbuilder) crashing over 100 different various problems such as using the Ruler or adding building damage, or refreshing spawned splats? This makes creating and editing maps very frustrating if impossible.

Also will a fix come to the fact that Custom Games cannot be spectated? This and the formerly mentioned Worldbuilder problem have been happening since the 64 bit update and there hasn't been any word that these have even been acknowledged on Relic's side of things let alone are being worked on.

I'm sorry you've been thrown straight into the fire here post 64bit and balance patch updates back to back. We know it's not your fault and we appreciate the continued communication.

The team is aware of these issues and I understand the frustration. I can say that we're looking into it and work is ongoing. I can't give a target date as this is bigger than a fast hotfix, but please know that it is a priority.

We appreciate you keeping us posted on developments. Not being able to give target dates isnt too much of a concern if you simply don't have them, if we know things ARE actually being worked on I think most people are happy enough with that info.

Pip, don't let me dream. Continued support is already above expectations. If new content of any sort might be coming... nope, no dreaming. Happy to hear the hotfix is in the works!

I was thinking more along the lines of Lelic's next project after they complete AoE-IV.

Although if Lelic were to develop new DLC factions for CoH2 that would be a fairly low-cost source of income for them, in comparison to making a new game. I mean, it ain't happening, but I can dream.

Nah Afrika Korps is still coming.

About what I expected to hear, but I'm still happy there's a reply at all. Tell the boys behind the scenes I'm rooting for 'em.

The Winter Balance Patch is now live!

A special thanks to Miragefla for leading the balance team, test mod implementation, and patch integration process.

Of course, a big thanks to the rest of the community balance team; Sander93, Sturmpanther, Tightrope, JibberJabberJobber, Aerafield, Stark_PL, and Whorunbartertown, with mod and UI support from Osinyagov, and Janne252. These folks have invested a lot of time and effort designing, discussing, testing, and surfacing your feedback for consideration.

A massive thanks to the wider community for engaging in discussion, testing mods, and providing feedback. Much of this update is informed by community input, and we're confident that this patch will freshen up the game and result in a more enjoyable experience overall! Again, thanks for your continued passion.

We hope you enjoy the update.
