1.14.00 BZII Beta Patch Feedback

Normally we receive a lot of gamer input and feedback through our community discussion board. Unfortunately, as many of you know, we have been having problems with the board. We’re still eager to get feedback from everyone concerning the performance of the beta patch, however. For the time being, please e-mail comments to bz2betapatchfeedback@pandemicstudios.com. We will begin sorting through these over the next few days. If the patch works well for you, super! (but in that case there's no reason to e-mail this address.) We really just want to know about problems. Unfortunately, we will be unable to respond individually to your reports. In your report, please include the following information if possible:

Your system:
