At the beginning of the conflict in Tarkov our contactor was still inexperienced. Although, he has passed basic military training, it's practically impossible to prepare for such extreme conditions like we have now. You'll have to learn new survival techniques and practice them on the fly. Let's get into the details!

This is a notice in regards to users being banned for cheat association in the Official Escape From Tarkov Discord.
From April 2024, accounts in this server that have joined, been affiliated, associated or in any way adjacent to or engaging with Cheat or RMT discords will be permanently banned from the server. These bans are NOT for just sitting in a voice channel or talking about the situation of the game in our server, as some may try to have you believe. These bans will also be occurring in other affiliated servers such as, but not limited to Escape from Tarkov: Arena and Escape from Tarkov ANZ.
This isn't exclusive to EFT Cheat and RMT Servers and will cover all multiplayer games. Cheat discords are against the Discord Terms of Service.
All bans for being associated with cheats are permanent and unappealable.
This is also a warning that any posts that you have made in those servers, can and will be used as evidence in a submission to BSG to have game accounts terminated if you are found engaging with these discords.
We take cheating seriously, if you know someone is cheating or advertising, please send it to us via https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/813521804710117386 so we can deal with it swiftly
These bans will have no effect on the majority of people in the server.
Simply being in these servers pump up their numbers and make their services look more appealing than what they are.
If you do decide to have a look around those servers, even as a curiosity, you will be banned here, and your appeal instantly denied.

We have recently launched the thread on Escape from Tarkov subreddit to collect the issues and prioritise them: https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/s/aUx959uVAA
This thread aims to collect the most pressing and regular issues that players face. When posting an issue, please use hashtags for easy handling of comments.
List of hashtags: #performance #audio #raids #locations #weapons #hitreg #armor #animations #quests #AI #matching #stash #traders #hideout #pve #arena
Try to describe the problem in the most detailed and concise way possible, within 2-3 sentences. This will allow other subreddit users to understand you better and put an appropriate reaction to the post. Try not to duplicate already previously described problems.
Example of a bug report: when interacting with an BTR driver, you cannot pay for services, regardless of where in the PMC's inventory there is a sufficient amount of money.

To increase the security of your #EscapefromTarkov and #TarkovArena account, we strongly recommend enabling two-factor authentication (2FA). This additional security method requires two steps to confirm your identity when logging into your account.
How to enable two-factor authentication?
• Log in to the Battlestate Games Account center - https://profile.tarkov.com
• Under Security Settings, click Configure next to the two-factor authentication setting.
• Under “Available ways of protecting your account”, select “Authenticator app - Configure” and enable the option.
• To set up an authenticator, install any suitable app, for example Authy.
• Scan the QR code via the app or enter the data manually.
• Enter the authorization code and click Save.
Enabling two-factor authentication significantly increases the security of your data and reduces the risk of unauthorized access. We also recommend enabling 2FA in all services and social networks registered with your personal accounts.

As a part of one of the upcoming updates in #EscapefromTarkov all containers will have a storage stacking limit.
This is necessary to avoid situations where players would get stuck on the profile loading screen due to excessive amount of items in the stash.
The change will mostly affect PvE players who have stacked 7 or more items inside each other, i.e. backpacks. All items that exceed the limit will be deleted.
In order to avoid situations where valuable items are lost, we ask players to sort the parts of the stash that may be subject to this change.
All players who lose at least one item after will be given an in-game compensation.

With the introduction of the Softcore changes and the Flea Market now unlocking at Level 10, we've decided it's time to close the Trading and Quest Assistance channels on the server.
As we mentioned when these channels first opened, members who went above and beyond to help others, would receive unique Discord roles as a recognition of their contributions.
After reviewing all the data, we now have our final list, each of whom will receive one of five exclusive event roles tied to this Discord event.
<@&1424686219941380116> - Awarded to the member with the highest total trading reputation.
<@&1424759710627659816> - Awarded to the member with the most "thanks" earned for helping others complete quests.
<@&1424685747344113664> - For members ranking among the top performers in trading or quest assistance.
<@&1424685782299578428> - For members who met or exceeded the median in reputation or thanks.
<@&1424686051200466994> - For members who reached the minimum threshold and consistently assisted others.
We kept this quiet, but the top 3 participants in each category will also receive one of 6 Escape From Tarkov Keys!
I'll be reaching out to the winners within the next hour to distribute their rewards.
A huge thank you to everyone who participated, traded, and helped others push through the Hardcore Wipe. Now go out there and enjoy the Softcore changes and remember, release is only 38 Days Away!

Dear players!
We thank you for supporting the project throughout all stages of development and testing, and for deciding to share this important event — the release of #EscapefromTarkov — with us!
Despite careful preparation, unforeseen situations may arise during the process. Your bug reports help us quickly find and fix issues, making your gaming experience more comfortable and stable.
In the near future, we plan to expand the game infrastructure to reduce matching times.
We are already actively working on a number of technical updates aimed at fixing the following issues:
● Various issues when downloading Escape from Tarkov and EFT: Arena via BSG Launcher and Steam;
● Various causes of error 228 when interacting with traders;
● Various issues with incorrect lighting when interacting with traders.
We are also aware that with the Nvidia Smooth Motion setting enabled, some players may experience difficulties when launching Escape from Tarkov. We recommend disabling this setting for a smooth EFT experience.
We understand that this might not be the complete list of the issues that players are facing and the problems that are not included in the list will also be addressed with the upcoming patches.
In the near future, all players will receive in-game compensation: a Bear Classic and USEC Night Patrol set. If these sets have already been purchased, an in-game reward will be credited.
Thank you for your patience and support. Please continue to share your impressions and bug reports. Your feedback really helps us make the game better!

Reminder to all members regarding bans for Cheat Association in the Official Escape From Tarkov Discord
We continuously remove and permanently ban any account in this server that has joined, engaged with, or has been affiliated or associated in any way with Cheat or RMT related Discords. This includes servers for any multiplayer game, not just Escape From Tarkov. These bans are not given for unknowingly playing with cheaters, being in voice channels, or speaking negatively about the game.
These same standards are enforced in other official and affiliated communities such as Escape From Tarkov: Arena and Escape From Tarkov ANZ. All bans issued for Cheat Association are permanent and unappealable
For most members here, this will never affect you.
Please remember that Cheat and RMT Discords violate Discord's Terms of Service outright. Any posts or activity tied to those servers can and will be used as evidence in reports submitted to BSG, which may result in game account termination if you are found to be engaging with these communities.
We take cheating seriously. If you know someone is cheating or advertising, please submit it through #discord-mod-mail so we can address it quickly.
Simply being present in cheat-related servers, increases their visibility and legitimacy. If you join those servers, even out of curiosity, you will be banned here, and any appeal will be immediately denied.

After reviewing all possible options together with Twitch, we have agreed that the best solution is to extend the SaS campaign and launch it immediately after the conclusion of the regular Drops campaign.

The campaign will start on November 29, 11:30 AM GMT / 6:30 AM EST, and will end on December 20, 11:30 AM GMT / 6:30 AM EST.

Update 1.0.2.5 brought significant changes to weapon attachments in #EscapefromTarkov. We were very interested in hearing your initial feedback, and now we'd like to share our next plans.
The changes are split into several stages. The first was adjustments to grips, magazines, muzzle devices, and buttstocks. We are currently gathering feedback and fixing minor bugs, such as those affecting some "Gunsmith" tasks.
Next stages will include adjustments to the stats of barrels and handguards, aligning those with the new approach.
We will also be addressing the base stats of weapons most significantly impacted by the changes. These primarily include 7.62x39 AK models, as well as platforms chambered for 7.62x51 and 7.62x54R. If necessary, we may also adjust the stats of other weapons, too.
Another point of our plan is to revise the prices and unlock conditions for every attachment in the game to better align them with the new stat distribution.
We'd also like to point out that we're taking into account your feedback regarding unsuppressed muzzle flash. We are considering improvements in this area as well.

We would like to remind you once again of the key security guidelines to help prevent account breaches, theft, and any potential data leaks.
Do not click on suspicious links
If someone sends you a link from an “admin,” “friend,” or “service,” make sure it leads to the official game website. Fake pages may look convincing but are designed to steal your data.
Never share your login or password with anyone
Administrators, moderators, and support staff of Battlestate Games will never ask for your account credentials. If someone does — they are a scammer.
Do not enter your data on random websites
Authorization forms on third-party sites are a direct path to losing your account. Only enter your information in official applications (#EscapefromTarkov & #TarkovArena) and on official Battlestate Games resources.
● To protect your accounts, we strongly recommend enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) using an authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.).
● This is one of the most effective ways to secure your account against unauthorized access. Even if someone obtains your password, logging in without the code from the app will be impossible.
Please set up two-factor authentication as soon as possible.
How to enable two-factor authentication:
Thank you for your attention and for taking care of your account security.

ETS testing is back!
ETS is now open to all game owners, including Steam users.
With the start of this phase, the NDA has been fully lifted. You are free to share screenshots, record videos, stream, and openly discuss new features with the community.
This new testing iteration includes:
● Transition to a new Unity engine version to improve stability and performance, as well as enable new features in future updates.
● A rework of the aiming system. Our goal is to make shooting mechanics more realistic and immersive, while finding the right balance between weapon behavior and control comfort, so every shot feels fair and effective.
● Updates to data storage systems: improvements to how player profile data is handled, such as trader standing, PMC skill levels, and weapon mastery.
We invite everyone to join the testing and share feedback on Discord, as well as through the feedback form in the #EscapefromTarkov launcher.
Please note that the number of servers in some regions is limited, which may result in longer matchmaking times.
We are aware that users may encounter an error when submitting feedback via the feedback form in the launcher, and we are already working on a fix.

Based on the community feedback from ETS server we have made adjustments to the aiming system: we will continue looking for players feedback and making changes as the testing goes.

The installation will take between 4 and 6 hours, but may be extended if required. The game will be unavailable during this time.
Starting today, Escape from Tarkov editions receive new bonuses in addition to what they previously provided.
Your active edition will increase the experience gain in raid:
● Left Behind Edition - 7% XP bonus;
● Prepare for Escape Edition - 9% XP bonus;
● Edge of Darkness Limited Edition - 12% XP bonus;
● The Unheard Edition - 20% XP bonus, applied to all group members.Group bonus does not stack with other bonuses or with itself. For example, if players with Prepare for Escape and The Unheard Edition play together, each will receive 20% more XP. Same goes for a group of multiple The Unheard Edition players.
Apart from that, owners of The Unheard Edition now have an additional opportunity for customization - it now allows using clothing regardless of faction.
This feature applies to all tactical clothing, including items from BattlePass and Tactical Maps from EFT: Arena.
These additions will make upgrades more valuable without affecting gameplay during the raid in any way.
New bonuses are also available to players who already own the upgraded editions.

Quick Q & A with Nikita 2/2/2019: https://bit.ly/2t5yFRS
Escapers,
Here are few answers from BSG COO Nikita for questions asked by a community member. Enjoy!
Will bullet velocity depend on actual rounds and not the weapon in the future?
Right now bullet velocity is an ammo parameter (you can see it in ammo chart). Weapon barrel can have an influence on it though.
When will subsonic ammo work?
In the next patches.
Will weapon barrel heat vision distortion be implemented?
Yes!
Will helmets ever revert back to realistic protection?
I don't think so. A full realistic approach in helmets will make them unuseful because they all will be the same level 1-2 protection. Nevertheless, helmet parameters are subject to change.
Are armor zones still planed? If yes, will they have realistic protection or will they be tweaked like helmets?
Armor zones are still planned. We want to make body armor realistic.
More realistic movement inertia is planed?
We had inertia before - looked like additional lags or something.
The Bullet drop seems excessive for some rounds, will this be changed to realistic values?
Yes!
Will rigs like BlackRock and Avs be changed so they can store a realistic amount of magazines?
Yes!
Gun silencer durability? Will there be a difference between "wipe" and "chambers" silencer (durability vs performance)?
Yes, exactly everything you said.
Is personal sight zeroing still planed? As in: we will zero sights in our hideouts.
We would need to think about this one.
Do SCAVs use hitscan or projectile mechanics or a combination of the two?
No hitscan. They shoot the same way as players do.
In the future, will labs be accessed from another map?
We will think about it. In the nearest future Labs access will be limited.
Is open world scraped or is there still a chance to see it in the distant future?
It's still on the track.
When will vodka be in the game and will it help with radiation poisoning?
Vodka will be in the game pretty soon. We just need to add drunk effect first.
For the karma system to work we need a way to ID people. Will walkie-talkies, GPS devices, and maps help with that?
I didn't get how all the stuff you described are related to the karma system. And how they could help to ID people in general.
How long will heal time of dead PMC (0 HP) to full HP be when hideouts come?
That is subject to testings. I don't think that it will be a long time. In a long time, I mean hours.
How many PMC characters will we have when hideout comes?
Hmm...didn't get the question. Do you mean how many PMC character slots will be per account? When the hideout will be released it's still going to be one character per account.
What will DLC´s include?
New locations, new quests, new mechanics, new traders, events and so on.
Do you know how many shooter games are ruined for me because of Tarkov?
Oh, stop it!
Addendum: As in, we will use GPS/map to radio our position over walkie-talkies to other players of our faction. Not directly tied to karma, but a system to make karma more viable.
Well, I guess so
Addendum: At one point there was a rumor about 3 characters per account (obviously not true now that you answered). Will SCAV runs be our only "option" while we wait for our one PMC to heal?
Yes, its planned to have 3 characters on the account but it will be the whole profile in a profile thing. You will not be able to use them as switchable characters with a single stash. But, who knows. We will see!

Today at 15: 50 Moscow time we plan to install a technical update for the client and servers of Escape from Tarkov, which will be aimed at improving the stability of the game. The game will be completely stopped. It will take 20 to 40 minutes to install the update.

Dear Escapers,
we know that you have many questions regarding Escape From Tarkov and how everything is going around the project, during our latest TarkovTV DevBlog podcast Nikita did his best to give you all the answers.
But time was limited, that is why we prepared this short Q&A for you.
Enjoy!
Q: BSG, could you modulate weapon sounds based on barrel length and muzzle devices?
A: When we will make subsonic ammo and silencer durability we will add additional sound modulation too.
Q: During podcast, we saw MDR, are other bullpup weapons planned, like AUG?
A: More modern version of it, EF88/F90, A3 is also possible.
Q: Will nights be extended?
A: Yes.
Q: Are you going to fix the late spawns?
A: Yes, we are rewriting the whole spawning system.
Q: Is dynamic pricing going to be re-enabled soon, if so was it reworked?
A: Yeah, it needs to be enabled again, but we wait.
Q: Will there be a production of things like ammo within the hideout to drive the player-run economy?
A: Yes.
Q: Can you tell us what you have in mind for the survival aspect of this game?
A: Radiation, toxication, advanced meds with overdose and side effects, blood pressure and body temperature - well something like this. We don’t want to make a game survival simulator, it’s more about combat
Q: Could further wipes just be inventory wipes?
A: Sometimes we need to wipe everything. for example - the Hideout will require to wipe everything because we need to test the progression in general when the hideout is also in. sometimes quests need to be wiped too due to critical bugs or new mechanics. we will try to ease next wipe.
Q: Will Desert Eagle ever make it into the game?
A: We have a light modern version of it in plans.

Here is a small Update from the developers regarding 11.5:
We know that this is taking a bit long, sorry. Making some final internal testing, adding more bugs and fixing them. You know - it's a usual thing, especially when it comes to fixing some old and heavy problems - fixes generate other bugs.
Anyway, there will be updated patch notes soon. Again, 0.11.5 is about fixes and optimizations and it's not meant, that there will be ALL wanted fixes and the game will run perfect. 0.11.7 will have fixes and optimizations too (and some of the new content). We did a pretty big job in 0.11.5 and I hope you will like it. Not so long to wait (tm)

Dear Escapers!
We created a summary of the "BSG: Behind the Beta" podcast that was hosted by Pestily on his channel, guests on the podcast were Nikita Buyanov and Veritas.
The podcast is also available as a VOD on Pestily's Twitch channel - twitch.tv/pestily
• There were no leaks shared during the podcast, as Nikita said this podcast was focused on talking about the BattleState Games, Nikita and the things around the creation of the Escape From Tarkov
• Developers are focused on fixes, during the podcast the 0.11.5.2821 hotfix was installed, all the issues are being addressed
• The 0.11.7 patch is being prepared it will come with some content, new weapons and more fixes
• 0.12 will be a very big patch, no exact date
• Nikita always loved the games, like Half-Life, Counter strike, he was creating game modifications with his friend for many games, like Half-Life, Morrowind and Counter Strike, they even got invited by a company in Moscow to take part in game development, it was during the end of his mid-school, there were no schools teaching game development back then in Russia, Nikita learned it all by himself. Then Nikita had to go to the university to study, that is why he had a break in game development. After that Nikita started to work as a web designer, but he always wanted to create games, that is why he started to go in this direction, then the idea of Russia 2028 came up and Nikita together with his friend decided to create Contract Wars browser based FPS. They started to make this game in 5 man team from scratch, without any outside support.
Nikita’s dream is to create a big single player, story-driven, open world game with cinematics, because that is what Nikita always loved in games.
• With Escape From Tarkov the whole team is still learning new things
• Community is a really big part of Escape From Tarkov, team is listening to ideas from the community and discussing them, many features were invented thanks to the community
• Developers have a solid vision for the Escape From Tarkov and are working towards it
• Free roam mode is still planned for Escape From Tarkov, all the maps will be connected in one piece, it is a big and complex task for the Dev team
• Nikita has a great expectations for the new Unity engine version, migration to the Unity 2018 is planned for the 0.12 patch
• There will be graphical overhaul in the game before the release
• There is a testing team that is testing the game features, then it comes to the game and is tested by the community, as Nikita said community is really big part in testing and every feedback/report is very helpful
• As Nikita said, developers could give all the features to the players, but it wouldn’t be a really test, everything needs to be tested in a correct order
• The next wipe will be in 0.11.7 patch, another wipe will come with the 0.12 patch
• Nikita didn’t say no to the offline testing environment idea, but at the moment Developers are having other important priorities
• There will be a shooting range in the hideout, also Developers are working on better sniper gameplay, Nikita talked also about an idea of going into a simulator through the laptop in the hideout, so for example you could test your rifles
• BattleState Games team is around 100 people, in various departments
• Nikita is playing Escape From Tarkov from time to time, but he will fully play it after release, as he said it is not an opened book for him yet, but he is watching many videos/streams and he is gathering information during it
• Public bugtracker was also discussed, Nikita didn’t say no to it, but as he said it could be misunderstood and misused by some people
• Steam audio is planned for the 0.12 patch, but it could be shifted
• Developers team keeps working on Anti-Cheat, it is constantly updated and it will be reinforced, fight with cheaters is a constant battle, there will be also a players report function soon
• Developers know what is causing desync issues and are working on fixing it
• VOIP is planned for the 0.12 patch
• 0.12 will be the biggest patch ever
• BattleState Games might come to Gamescom this year, but it is not yet decided
• Military Base will come with the 0.12 patch, Developers are working on multiple new maps at the same time

RAID: Released 1 episode of the film series about the Tarkov universe
Battlestate Games announces the premiere of the first episode of the film series “RAID” based on the multiplayer online-FPS Escape from Tarkov. In the film adaptation by Director Anton Rosenberg, the audience opens the world of the game and the armed conflict that occurred in the Norvinsk region, a special economic zone on the border between Russia and Europe. The main operating parties are two private military companies – USEC and BEAR, commencing fierce battles, including the fights with the remaining gangs in the city called "Scavs". The protagonist is in the occupied city of Tarkov, the exits of which are blocked by UN peacekeepers and Russian military troops.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPnrY5BxddI
The announcement of the first series took place through the 48-hour interactive broadcast on the official twitch-channel of the Studio, which gathered thousands of spectators and players, gave rise to a lot of puzzles and memes. The live broadcast showed the image from the surveillance camera at one of the central checkpoints in the port area of Tarkov, which is controlled by a well-known trader from the game world - Peacekeeper named Tadeusz Pilsudski. By nationality, a polish, Tadeusz -is a supply officer from the UN contingent, the life of whom was being watched by spectators from all over the world. You can watch the full recording of the broadcast here:

Damn, it was hard! Live theatrical action! 12k viewers top! Thank you very much and sorry we kept frustrated so long!
We wanted to enrich all of this for you, people, that was a really challenging 47 hour experience.
Don't worry - 90% of actors were real actors - not developers "doing BS instead of patch". Get ready for more Raid episodes - they are part of the game too.
Again, thanks for watching. That room was the point of interest with thousands eyes focused on it. That was pure magic.
Much love.

Hello, ppl!
As you noticed - we started pre-wipe events. Events! So, there will be more stuff just to test it out. So, play freely, do not fear to lose anything. Use loadouts you dreamed about.
We are making preparations for 11.7 and we need more time for this. So its a good opportunity to test rare things ingame as well as different experience kind of gameplay. Or you can just relax and wait for the new patch and wipe.
We know, that this is confusing newcomers - sorry for that. But, again, this is a good opportunity to get ready for the nearest wipe!
Cheers!

PSA FROM NIKITA ABOUT CHEATERS:
Cheaters are being banned instantly every day (some of them banned later or in waves for cumulative effect).
Cheats being downed pretty often (if you look on the cheatdev sites some of them are already even closed support of their eft cheat). Some cheatdevs are not standing still too - they update cheats pretty often and operative (in every popular game with every popular anticheat protection). We do anticheat measures - they do anti anti cheat measures
We constantly work against cheaters, right now we are preparing major ac update.
Ingame report function is planned soon (i said it many times).Reports WILL NOT BE the one and only reason of ban. It will help the main system to act faster.
If you are not happy with current situation (although its changing in a good way everyday), please, let us develop the unfinished game and let us finish everything, especially complex hacker protection which is an adaptive development process. Come back later and be sure that its a highest priority for us.
If you want to help us to refine cheat detections and you want to feel better - you can post clips with obvious cheating for you with a separate nickname. we do investigate it for a long time, research it to make corrections in ac system. Usually its not that useful cause cheaters in clips mostly banned or in the cummulative banwave lists. But it can give us more thoughts.

A ban list can be found on the official forum :https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/101399-cheater-bans.
Anticheat performance is constantly being improved. We created topics of forums for your reports on suspicious players.
A fair game without cheaters - is the highest priority for us.

Dear tarkovians!
As you guessed (or not) we are adding BattlEye anticheat to increase protection from the unfair players (yes, it's that Big thing we mentioned earlier). We are working closely with BE devs to ensure it's stability and effectiveness, combining all the anticheat measures we have together in one solid system.
Of course it needs to be tested good, so we are announcing that BattlEye will be uploaded shortly in current version of the game. We will let you know when we are ready to upload.
And we will be very grateful if you will help us in testing and will leave your feedback and reports in relevant topics.

Patch #0.12
lean ridge
Hello, tarkovians! <@&545185755111096331>
Let it be status update #4!
As it was mentioned on Pestily's podcast - almost everything is done. And right now we are working on:
- connecting all of the completed features together (some of the features were made in separate branches, now we are merging them all together and fixing related bugs)
- performing general internal testing to ensure that the patch will be playable without major issues (also fixing bugs that pop up along the way)
- applying additional optimizations and fixing late call performance issues
- rezerv base map polishing and additional optimizations, loot points, allocating keys. Also making some needed changes and fixes to the old locations
- integrating hideout (the most time consuming task right now)
- preparing back-end and game servers for high-load right after patch upload
In last two weeks, above everything completed, we added more content (new gear, helmets etc), finished texture streaming to reduce RAM usage, added minefields and sniperzones as location restricting factors, completed train exfil and new exfil which requires a friendly scav to escape with and many many other tasks, minor features and QoL improvements.
We will try to come to some patch release date that we can announce to you. It's not much left to complete! Therefore, if luck will be with us, the update will be closer than you think!
Thank you for everything!

Hello, dear friends! <@&545185755111096331>
We are on the finish line. Everything is merged and being tested. Right now its only about bugs because of huge amount of new and rewritten code and some issues, related to updated engine. So, I wanted to warn you, that the new patch will definitely contain missed bugs and issues which will be fixed quickly in the next hotfixes. But we believe that everything will be fine - that's why we are polishing game thoroughly right now.
We started to prepare huge list of changes and fixes - you will see by yourself the amount of work we did. Don't be sad, if you will not see something that you wanted in 0.12.
The only question and you know it - when? Let's say that we need 2 weeks approx from now. It could be more or it could be less but slightly. There will be pre-wipe events before it for sure.
We are very grateful. For your patience and dedication. It makes us and our work feel important.

We all (and personally I) want to say sorry for the delay. Amount of changes is huge and right now we are fighting with bugs. Every single time when we approve a patch release date some critical bug happens and we are forced to shift the date and fix it, cause we don't want you guys experience what needs to be fixed and polished. Give us little more time - I don't want to say it will be super soon soonish soon to scare away luck!
Thank you for your patience!
