Everything seems broken. Getting port errors, can't connect. Everything was working perfectly last night before the new release.

The lobby server needs to be updated.

http://gamecheck.wz2100.net/3.3.0-beta1

Your game version is 3.3.0-beta1
You have the latest beta version of the game.

This is certainly true, but I would like a suggestion to update the game...

Thanks!!
Found a mistake. Structures unexpectedly disappear due to structure updates

That's all i needed to restart playing this game!
Thanks for this update!
Now i can stop my expensive bombard units being dumb and run into enemy bases!

What happened to the mission briefings? Before it would throw up a mission box when you cross the trigger.
Now you must manually press the mission button and that isn't obvious to do that for new people.

Do you have installer version for Windows x64 user?

You can use the 32 bit version on a 64 bit operating system.

We would appreciate if you created a GitHub issue for this problem.
Ideally, the bug report would include screenshots and/or videos showing
how the mission briefings worked before and how they work now.

Don't know how late i am on this bug train or if someone did report this though:
If your unit reaches "Special" rank, you can send it to recycle and build it again at base. If you look at send units you will see that your special ranked unit has been upgraded to "Hero".

I know i took screenshots but i can't find them on PC.

Commanders need more experience, so the experience of a "Special" commander might be equivalent to the experience of a "Hero" regular unit. Was the recycled unit a commander?

Right forgot that. Yes the recycled unit was commander and after i rebuilt him he was hero. What i noticed was only one mission that happened and that was i think mission before you get attacked by New paradigm. The one where you get and research the synaptic link.

Just passing by to say that this is the best iteration of Warzone 2100 so far. It's even better when it comes down to modding. So much easier to edit the mission script files and create new research topics/vehicle parts/structures/etc.

Have to agree here. adding the timer on mission 1 isn't a big deal for me anymore. while I admit I hated it at first. it still easy to stockpile a lot of cash. So overall I like the changes. Not really played the game since 2.3.9. So nice work and thanks to the devs that maintain this awesome game.
