Bethesda has released a major patch for the IHRA game. The IHRA game still
doesnt have a Multiplayer Capability and a patch to fix that is expected in
the
near future. Based on comments received from testers it will most likely
take
at least 2 to 3 major patches for the IHRA game to be 100%
===============================================================

I've never seen a patch that fixes so much bugs.. surely this IHRA
game is a perfect example of 'get it in the stores before Christmas,
no matter if it's still in Beta stage'..
Oh well, at least cool that it's being patched, I read quite some bad
reviews about IHRA.
