Best KARDS community!

Welcome to the latest KARDS patch and our Bug Fix Bonanza!

With great delight, we have released this newest patch full of bug fixes on October 28th. The team has waged a full-fledged war against bugs and rooted out a massive amount; more than 60 bugs of all sorts were crushed. We also made some minor improvements to the backend system.

Additionally to the bug fixes, we have made preparations for Halloween. More about the Halloween activities will follow shortly in a separate article.

All feedback is appreciated and most welcome. Please either use the comments below or join us on the KARDS Discord.

Important Changes

SAIUN DEPLOYMENT

We have changed the deployment process of the C6N SAIUN. Until now, any activated countermeasure could trigger during the deployment process of the Saiun. This has changed. Now when you deploy the Saiun, it will disable the triggering of active countermeasures.

Example of the change

Old behavior

New behavior

IMPROVEMENTS

When your opponent is choosing between 3 cards (e.g., using A FEW GOOD MEN), you will now see that he is choosing something (not what, of course).

HOTFIX ON OCTOBER 29th

We deployed a hotfix on October 29th to address some issues with the previous update. Here is what we worked on.

BUGFIXES

In rare cases, the game crashed at the end of the match. Fixed.
The effect bubble from cards like LONG RANGE DESERT GROUP was still showing when the card had retreated to hand and then got replayed. Fixed.
There were some issues with the card animation in hand. Fixed.
In some cases, the new animation for selecting 1 of 3 cards got stuck on the enemy; the three cards on screen then did not disappear and blocked the battlefield. Fixed.
In some cases, the drawn cards went to the wrong position in hand. Fixed.
Using Countermeasures left a blank space in hand where the countermeasure card initially had been. Fixed.
