Hey folks, this should be our final hotfix for update 1.06, focusing on issues with commander abilities which have been reported since the release of the update. Further fixes to issues across the whole game will be released in subsequent patches to Rising Storm 2: Vietnam.
In this update we have also included new debug features for identifying and fixing crashes, so please continue to send in your BugSplat reports so that we can continue to fix crash issues!
End of 1.06 Double XP Period
- This patch disables the double XP period we have been running to celebrate the launch of update 1.06. All experience gains, including the end-of-match bonuses received for participating in multiple rounds of a match have been reset to their usual values.

- Fixed an issue which caused incorrect commander abilities to be called in after attempting to call in other abilities under certain circumstances
