Post news Report RSS Intelligence Bulletin Vol 2 * No 25

We’re slowly picking up speed now that most devs are back from vacation, and the offices are starting to buzz again. We’ve just deployed Dietl on the live server, and if it doesn’t cause too many problems, we’ll do a server stress test sometime next week.

Posted by Reto.KenSolo on Aug 6th, 2012 

The upcoming stress test also means that we’ll send a quite large number of new beta-key, and we’ll also try to gather all the veteran alpha- and beta-players to participate in the stress test.

But if you do have a key, and access to the game, you’re able to play the new Dietl build now, and please remember to submit crash-reports, submit bugs and give us feedback in the forum!

In other news: Google Chrome has now officially been released in version 21, which means that you can only install new plugins/extensions through the Chrome Webstore.

The impact is has on Heroes & Generals is, that you can’t install Heroes & Generals through Chrome at the moment. The immediate workaround is to use another browser, but we’re working hard on a new installer. However, if you have already installed our “retox” plugin you can still access and play the game.
