Super MNC Rule Changes 8:

Free Pro Rotation: Captain Spark, Cheston, Megabeth, Sniper, Support, Tank
We at Uber Entertainment hope everyone in the United States had an enjoyable, safe, and restful Memorial Day! We did, which results in a shorter week and a slightly smaller update.

This week we are taking aim at improving our match quality. The big step we're taking is that teams of five are only going to matched with other teams of five. Teams of two or solo players will be matched together. This means that we've removed the ability to group up in teams of three or four. If you only have a team of three or four, what better way to get to know your fellow players than to invite them into your team?

As always, feel free to leave us feedback at http://www.uberent.com/forums! If you have issues please emailsupport@uberent.com

A couple of months ago, we were contacted by a father who wanted to have some promotional materials of EDGE, to make a birthday present for his son Zias. Zias loves EDGE and he even built real-life versions of EDGE levels in LEGO.

To cut a long story short; unfortunately we didn't have any promotional materials, instead we invited Zias to come to our office so he could build an EDGE level under the watchful eye of our designer Hessel. The end result is now part of the latest update of EDGE on Steam!

To read more about this, please check out our latest blog:

This update addresses the following issues:

- The application could remain in memory after the player left the game, which prevented from quitting Steam.

- In some cases, robot could stop playing when the cards pile was exhausted.
- When purchasing DLCs within the game using the Steam Overlay, the new maps were not available immediately. You had to restart the game.
