Hey Gearheads,

Thanks for checking out Heavy Gear Assault so far! Did you know we released our latest patch version 259 on Steam on January 24, 2017. Check it out!

We are excited to announce that we’ve added significant support for Linux and fixed issues that were preventing some Linux distros such as ArchLinux from accessing the game. Thanks to the great work by our development, server, backend, and community management teams. In addition to patch 259, we are also happy to announce that we now have regional server support. We will be introducing changes to our in-game landing page with a combined Pilot Lounge and Game Launch Landing Page with our next patch.

Our backend team now has fully realized regional support. Currently we have 2 backends - one residing in Montreal and the other in France. HGA’s game servers are hosted all over the planet including Central, East, and West North America, Europe, and Tokyo. We are looking into an Asian-Pacific backend and will get the Asian community updated on that when it happens!

I am also very excited to announce that we have some very specific plans gearing up for the Heavy Gear community with focused efforts on new content! Hurray! Gears, Guns, and Glory!

We are planning some special updates for the eSports Community, Linux Community, and the Mech Communities at large. Stay tuned for more details.

And our new website and platform for teams and players is currently getting some last minute polish before being activated.

I think the community is going to love what we have on the way.

Our latest patch list is located on our Steam news patch so check it out: http://steamcommunity.com/games/416020/announcements/detail/687197541758707426

Thanks for your feedback everyone. Keep it coming!
