Patch 0.49.0 opens new channels and clears out dead rules. Matches no longer roll two rulesets that cancel each other out, the Blog menu keeps articles and patch notes apart, and Stellarch now has a home on four more platforms. No Fighter, commander or mana cost changed.

Improved
The Blog menu separates articles from patch notes
The Blog menu in the top bar used to show one mixed list, so a run of releases could push the articles out of sight. It now shows the three latest posts and the two latest changelogs as separate sections, with a View all link to the full blog.
Fixed
Rulesets that cancel each other out no longer roll together
A match could roll two rulesets where one made the other meaningless, so you read a rule that did nothing. We went through the whole ruleset list and blocked 45 of those pairs, on top of the 41 already blocked. Custom games refuse the same pairs.
Three examples of what is gone:
- Mercenaries Only + Open Alliance. Neutral Fighters are legal under every commander anyway, so Open Alliance changed nothing.
- Targeting Lock + Feedback Surge. Feedback Surge punishes a miss, and under Targeting Lock nothing misses.
- Fireteam + Strike Squad. A team cap of 4 and a team cap of 5 in the same match: the cap of 4 always wins.
Thanks to the player who reported the Mercenaries Only plus Open Alliance match that started this.
Eight more changes shipped under the hood: tidier test environments, safer account housekeeping, and new tools that help our team make and share Stellarch videos. Thanks for playing the alpha and for sending us the odd matches you find.
