Does anyone know its purpose?
and can cj plz fix a few things.

1. Change the minimum rank gain from 0 to 1 plz. its kinda odd to play a game to risk losing 30 and not gain a single point if you win.
2. prevent the patches from logging everyone off unless it doesnt affect rank.

somehow dropped from 2474 to 2444

system has rank decay... maybe a possible glitch?

idk
got a link to the update desc.
apparently they nerfed cycloid health/speed
sheild bash does less damage
castle dead does more damage.
scorp death loop fixed
performance increase.

Seeing as I've always been able to see patch note updates without difficulty just go over to http://stickempires-rts.wikia.com/wiki/Game_Updates where I will post them hopefully within 24 hours of the patch. (Some idiots do try to grief the page though, so use a bit of common sense when reading).
@Pumu, I know I've already linked you this, this is to everyone else.

yes i have thx

when you win, you're still getting rating, its just in a decimal amount that you cant see since the rating is rounded.

If the update changes anything important it will be put in the patchnotes. It's probably just some minor bugfix or something which doesn't affect the game.

A bug that you no longer have to worry about.

Dude ;-;
They don't do that on purpose

When a new patch is out they usually need to restart the server and result in logging everyone's off (or something like that, cannot hit the exact wordings)

Ur right, They actually need to replace the client with a new one and probably restart the servers to avoid any problems, so yeah this needs to be done tho. And new patches dont come out every minute so yeah, Its better to be just patient

How about?
New match ended screen made for all matches just before servers end:
"Brb restarting servers, we apologise for any inconvenience. Your rating will not be affected"
Just like currently for OOS screens but a thingy to use before restarting servers instead.
