Commander Balance Patch 2021 Spreadsheet

Hi everyone,

We are excited to announce that the first preview of the Commander Update is now available!

This time around, we are doing things slightly differently. We are releasing this preview as a Beta, as opposed to a Steam Mod. This will allow for easier iteration, and better quality control between the preview and the final update.

To access the beta:
- In Steam right-click Company of Heroes 2
- Click Properties
- Navigate to Betas
- Select "communitytest"
- Close the properties window
- Wait for your game to patch to the Beta build

We will update this preview branch with each new iteration over the coming weeks.

As always, community testing and feedback is essential to help ensure this update is as good as it can possibly be. Please take the time to test these changes and provide your thoughts in the designated feedback threads:

- General Feedback
- AEF Feedback
- British Feedback
- Ostheer Feedback
- OKW Feedback
- Soviet Feedback

Thanks so much!

Hey all. Just to prevent this thread from debating what can and can't be done to accounts.... we have tools at our disposal to handle this. So if you encounter players breaking the Code of Conduct, please report them following these steps. The more you report and the more you can show us patterns, the more we can do about this.

Cross-posting from here.

Hi everyone.

We had hoped that this thread would be a civil discussion, but as it's turning to personal attacks and toxic behavior, it's become clear we need to step in.

To be clear; we have reviewed all evidence shared with us and we will continue to do so for any additional information that is put forward. We're also continuing to investigate via our internal cheat & hack detection tools.

We continue to appreciate all input from the community, and your vigilance in upholding the game's integrity and fair play among players. However, we must reiterate that the final responsibility and decision for any action taken lies with us. We've recently been focusing on moderation action, you can read more about it here on the official forums: https://community.companyofheroes.com/discussion/247033/moderation-enforcement-update

We continue to welcome your reports and feedback, but ask that these are handled professionally while respecting the privacy and dignity of all parties.

We believe that the Company of Heroes community has some of the best and most dedicated RTS fans out there. To support that, we want to foster a community that reflects the values of respect and fair play. Over the last weeks, we have renewed our efforts around moderation, banning and enforcement. Should you encounter a player breaking our Community Code of Conduct, please file a report by following the player reporting guidelines here. Please follow all of these steps to ensure we can fully investigate based on your report. The most critical things we need include:

The Steam 64 ID of the player you’re reporting. The 17-digit number, not just their username.

Video or photo evidence clearly showing the offending player violating the Code of Conduct. Video clips uploaded to YouTube or Vimeo with an unlisted link are always stronger evidence than screenshots. Though you can provide replay files to strengthen your complaint, these are less ideal as they can be long, so please include the timestamp of where the behavior occurred.

Should you have been banned in this most recent wave, this is most likely a temporary warning ranging from 48-hours to 2-weeks depending on the infraction. Commonly, these are a result of abusive and offensive behavior in chat or in-game. Though less common, more severe cases will result in a permanent ban. Should you be reported two or more times for a similar/worse infraction after an initial warning ban, you risk a permanent ban not just from CoH, but all Relic games.

If you need to dispute a ban, please send an email to enforcement@relic.com. Ensure you include the email address associated with your Steam account along with your Steam 64 ID. You will also need to include the appropriate evidence (videos/screenshots) to justify overturning your ban.

Due to privacy concerns, we cannot comment on any action a submitted report may have resulted in. However, we hope to confirm its receipt and take all necessary action based on the information provided. We treat all reports seriously and appreciate you taking the time to help us make the Company of Heroes community better for all players.

We’re all here because we love Company of Heroes. We want to thank you again for helping us make this community a welcoming space for all players.
