MAIN CHANGES
This update replaces the “Revenge of the Yolk” episode with the full “The Next Wave” episode in CIU, directly playable from your Profile screen. This is a temporary and experimental feature, so enjoy it while you can, and report bugs here.
Bug/Idea medals will be awarded later in the day. Note that your medal cannot be awarded if your in-game callsign doesn’t match your forum name (put it in your forum profile where it says “name” so I can find it).

You will lose:
- any mid-mission progress
