7sixtyGames and Firefly Studios have released the first update for the recently released strategy title, Stronghold 3.

The patch aims to address the numerous user reported issues with the game, and will be automatically downloaded via Steam.

Patch notes include:
* Fix for villagers which would break some saves
* Fix for wheat farmers. If ever a wheat farmer was replaced by another wheat farmer the wheat cycle would stop
* Fix for various load/save issues
* Fix for issue with units ignoring your commands if they'd just been assigned to your player (e.g. reinforcements)
* Units no longer get stuck in tunnels
* Keep positions are now deserialized correctly when switching between maps. Correct keep position icons are now shown on the minimap

Multiplayer Fixes include:
* Various issues with Multiplayer lobbies which should be much more stable now
* Fix for the issue with players joining & leaving MP lobbies before start. It should no longer hang on "starting game".
* Fix for players still being able to build after being eliminated from the game

Stronghold 3 is available now for Windows PC.
