CAWiki:10-01-08 Patch

The 10-01-08 Patch was officially released on October 1st, 2008. It was the debut patch of the Black Market, Mercenaries, and the "Gift" option in the Shop.

On October 1st, the latest patch was officially released by Nexon. It was suspected to be huge, because the usual monthly maintenance took 10 hours instead of around two. When the maintenance ended, players had official access to the Black Market and more long-awaited options.

But, the patch was not only good: the M4 Assault Rifle had been decreased accuracy-wise, a serious problem for most players who had been using it, as the carbine had been amazing at longer distances, even the vanilla version. Instead, the damage was slightly increased to 34, which made the M4 more lethal in close-range combat. The patch had also caused some other problems: many players could not log in and play. That issue was fixed fairly quickly. However, an even more annoying glitch has appeared. Randomly during a match, the room might crash, causing all players to freeze in place and force them to quit the game, therefore losing all their EXP and GP earned so far. This can happen many times, even as many as 9 in a single day. The cause still remains unknown.
