Hi, I and several others including @Arup tried rc2 and rc3 in a handful of games. I don't think much has changed on the user facing part since when I had a first look when I got aware of the branch about half a year ago. Do we know how many of the balancing advisors and "player-testers" if those do exist made TGs in the rcs like there were before the others alphas ? The Germans are quite cool but we noticed some balance issues (1 severe one is fixed now). Unfortunately there likely won't be any changes before release because "strings ought not to be changed" anymore. Even if the last commits I can see do exactly that ... https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/issues/8694 The game is otherwise looking stable from what I can tell. I will download rc4 now and I expect it to be similarly stable.

Hi, I tried rc3. Just noticed there is a rc4. I will install it now...   With rc3, there are now problems, as far i noticed.  (I play wiith random gigantic maps)   cheers, Bernd

A few did but enthusiasm was a bit underwhelming indeed, anyway latest rc is available here https://releases.wildfiregames.com/rc/

Anyone tried? It should be tested before releasing.
