If all goes according to plan, those that play Halo Wars tomorrow morning will receive an update. My hopes are that this one releases a bit more smoothly than the last! I know I don’t need to ask this as our Halo Wars community is quite good at being vocal (!) but if anybody has a less than optimal experience downloading this TU, please use this thread to tell us the specifics. Thanks.
PS: I plan on going to bed tonight with my fingers (and toes) crossed, so if I’m grumpy in the morning, you’ll know why!

The stasis glitching on the vampires is gone and gremlins should be tech 2 again, hunters are buffed, gauss stands no chance against a scarab, and arbiter is nerfed again.
Will everybody get the update the same time this time? Hope we’re not going to experience the same out-of-sync issues we did last time.
As of now my friends have gotten the update, but I’m still left in the cold. So I’m currently not able to play with them. I have the Marked place version while they have the disc.

The Games on Demand version and the disc version received the update at the same time. Can you tell me the region for your LIVE account?

TY.
Someone else asked this too, but can we get some patch notes please? Is this just TU4, or is there new features/balance/anything else?

My live account is registered in Norway, as are my friends’ I believe. I’ll just wait a while then and see if I get the update.
No patch notes but I’m happy to tell you what was included in this update. It’s the theater fixes from TU5 along with a gameplay and balance restoration from TU4.

TU4

•Gremlins now requires 2 reactors to be built
•The Arbiter now takes 25% more damage while raging
•Hunters now focus their Assault Beam much faster
•Brute Chopper is more effective vs. air
Bug Fixes:
•The Cryo/Reactor Glitch has been fixed

TU5
Theatre fixes
Also, I dont know if this applies, but the General points requirement was lowered from 2,400,000 to 960,000 with TU4
