    Subject: Freeze Exploit...
    Freeze Exploit...

    We have taken steps in our latest round of patches (1.03 and 1.11) to address an exploit that some players have used to freeze a game that is in progress with other players, known commonly as freeze hacking. (Although no hacking of a player’s computer is actually taking place.) Now, when a player freezes a game that is in progress, or if the player freezes the game often enough, the drop screen will come up after a specific period of time and allow everyone else in the game to eliminate the offending player from the game. The offending player is given a loss as soon as he is dropped from the game in this manner.

    Also included in this patch are a number of other changes to fix possible exploits, ensure that games are played fairly and players who cheat will be banned.
