    The second revision of the latest beta patch is out and it features DEMOS!
    At last, now well be able to see what teams like 5150 and Fusion are doing with the game.
    Other stuff in the patch includes the SJ pack getting an upgrade, no more tanks on flag, slight speed and neck mobility increase, more stuff i cant remember, check www.tribalwar.com for details.

    The changes are:

    - Fixed the network "hitching" problem that was causing stutters during play.

    - Added VCR Mode controls to allow fast-forwarding, slow-motion, pausing. Also fixed the known playback crashes. There may be other issues. Please let us know if you see any issues with the playback.

    - Cameras will now add Sensor Jammer Pack users to the sensor net, thus allowing turrets to fire at those players when within a camera's detection radius. The number of cameras that can be carried at one time has been reduced.

    - Changed Tournament mode so that skins are always Storm vs. Inferno in order to let players more easily organize ladder and league matches.

    - Grenade icons are included so players can easily determine which grenade is being carried by looking at the HUD icon.

    - Team switching no longer requires you to choose the team you want to switch to. Double-clicking the "Switch Teams" option on the Lobby will now simply change your team.

    - Admins in Tournament mode can now hear global observer chat, thus allowing them to more easily hear when players need to be added to a team.

    - There is now a "no parking" zone around a flag (similar to the anti-camping zone around a nexus in a Hunters game). If a vehicle is parked near a flag, it will begin to take damage while in that area.

    - Handling on the Wildcat has been slightly improved (better spring controls so it doesn't bounce quite as much).

    - VCR Playback files are now in a compressed format to make it easier to distribute them.

    I especially like the part about the Camera now being able to detect SJ-ed units .. I think it should be generic, though .. so the camera would consider EVERY "jamming" person an enemy =)

    this must be the most bug ridden game ever, even after all the hype of the beta process

    no wonder they are closing Dynamix
