Hello everyone,

Welcome to our Beta 0.4.0.0. era! A major update for PVKII has been released! Server owners, please update your servers!

Spring is here, but we want you to stay inside just a little while longer to play some PVKII. We'd like to go out on a limb and say this is probably one of our largest updates to date. Our changelog below is condensed, and no where near describes the amount of content and work put into this update. Blood, sweat, and tears - its finally here. We hope you enjoy! Have a bloody good time with Beta 4.0!

PLAY WITH DEVS, TESTERS, & CREATORS!
Join us TODAY and NEXT SUNDAY for TWO, that's right, TWO opportunities to COME OUT & PLAY w/ PVKII Devs, Testers, and Creators - among the tidal wave of players, old and new. You might just be seen on a popular Youtube Channel or Twitch Stream. April 1st and April 8th 1:30 EST / GMT -5. Check your Steam events for your local timezone. Interact with PVKII Fans and PVKII Team on our official discord at discord.gg/pvkii

Server admins can switch rulesets by using command "mp_ruleset" eg. "mp_ruleset Competitive". For instructions on how to create custom rulesets, view the "readme.txt" file in "rulesets" folder located in the game directory. A detailed guide for this feature will be available soon.
