Hello!

Let me nip this in the bud: there's no intent to "hide" a patch to release it for Americans; from our perspective, releasing at this time of night on a Thursday would actually be ideal as the QA and CS teams in the UK will just be coming online.

If you check back to our nightly Arena Commander V0.9 status update post, you may be able to figure out what happened. We had staged Release Candidate 2 on the server and then started to upload Release Candidate 4. Unfortunately, that triggered a script that pushed Release Candidate 2 public.

The server started pushing the less desirable RC2 backup patch to Launchers. There was a brief window before we looped back the script when users might have been able to log in to RC2... but in those cases only the local Hangars will work properly since the server-side aspects of V.9 hadn't been deployed. Anyone who patched in that brief amount of time will be prompted to patch back to V.8 if they leave the game.
