Trotz Verzögerung von einem Monat gab es bei der Beta 1 der Multiplayer-Mod
Kingdoms Collide noch einige Bugs. Deshalb hat das Mod-Team nun einen Patch veröffentlicht, der viele davon behebt, und zudem eine ganze Menge Balancing- und Gameplay-Verbesserungen macht.
Insbesondere sind Probleme bei den Maps aufgefallen, eine davon wurde sogar für zu klein befunden und ist infolgedessen jetzt nicht mehr im Mapcycle, die anderen haben weitere Spawn-Points erhalten. Viel geändert wurde auch an den Rundenlimits und der Map-Rotation, der Capture Points-Modus hat in dem Zuge gleich Runden erhalten.
Eine neue Komplettversion gibt es nicht, wer jetzt mit Kingdoms Collide starten möchte, muss vor dem Patch also
die Version 1.0 installieren. Nachfolgend noch einmal der Changelog für diejenigen, die genau wissen möchten, was sich am Gameplay und den Waffen alles geändert hat:
