The ranking algorithm has been improved such that it gives substantially greater gain/loss in RP for 4 and 5 player games, to reflect that they take longer to complete. This has been done by using a variable K1 value according to the number of players. A new K2 parameter has also been introduced, although this is primarily of interest to other game developers who wish to implement the algorithm.
Each account now becomes temporarily blocked after five failed password attempts from the same IP address, to prevent brute-force password cracking attempts. A warning message is displayed after the fourth failed attempt advising the user to use the Tropic Euro forum to reset their password using the registered email address.
This update also includes some major performance and scalability improvements to the Tropic Euro server and a few tweaks in the client software as well.
