Great news for Steam users playing Making History II

Posted on Nov 02, 2012 at 08:40 AM by Chris

After a month of waiting, Steam users will now be updated to version 1.27. (See previous blog post for 1.27 details). Part of this delay was due to the fact that Steam has updated to a new system they call "Steamworks" which allows developers more direct access to their games. This is very good for all Steam users, since it means we will be able to update them at the same time as GHQ and all our other channels. Another benefit is that Steam users will now be able to access our pre-release updates (Referred to as Beta on Steam). So stay tuned, because it won't be long before the first 1.28 pre-release build will go live, with some improvements you've been asking for!

There will be. We are currently working on some economic balancing, and will also be keeping the game up to date with improvements in our core engine. Let us know if there are areas you would like to see improved. Our view is that improvements to MHII will benefit our future titles.

Yes, of couse. When we want to start or continue e online match the download bar appears but remains at 0%. Nothing happens after this. I've already send a debug view report to your support mail adress.
