Hold on, what do you mean by test patch? Is it a new version of patch y like X10 or is it a test like X38

[Dan]

X3- were a special cases as they were testing for a whole new version update (X to Y).
This is a compatible test patch, alot like X8 was before X10 ...

Test patch means it's not the final version, so we will probably see Y10 in a week or two.
Until then, why not try out this pach, it changes and fixes some usefull things ...

I have already osted abut this bug on the forum, so I hope in the next patch they bring out, it will fix this bug ^^
