The Total War Wiki has details on the beta patch 2 that's currently in testing for Total War: ROME II, Creative Assembly's strategy sequel. The notes include many changes, including improvements to gameplay, usability, and performance. Steam users interested in taking a chance on this can opt in to accept the beta patch, though they offer this warning: "Your current Save Games will work with Patch 2, but Save Games created or overwritten in Patch 2 will be incompatible with previous versions of Total War: ROME II."
