# 29 July 2023 -- prospective patch notes
## Designer's Notes
The selection extender is now live for testing! Praise be upon DarkenedFantasies.
Please report any issues in #cmbw-issues on [discord](https://discord.gg/s5SKBmY).
## Latest content
TBD
## User Interface
- Selection: (c. DarkenedFantasies)
- Selection is now capped at 252, from 12
- When selecting more than 12 units, selections are collapsed, showing the quantity of units by type - at which point:
- Left-click selects all units of that type
- Shift-click deselects one unit of that type
- Ctrl-shift-click deselects all units of that type
- Game modes: (c. Veeq7)
- Added "Competitive Mode" to once again display "kills" on combatants
- Renamed "Use Map Settings" to "Scenario Mode"
- Restricted multiplayer game mode selection to only that which is currently-supported
- Modes that had limited (and buggy) utility can be reimplemented more completely; please message us for specific requests!
## Bugfixes
- Stability:
- Cancelling Zerg Eggs after the Larva-producing structure has been destroyed no longer crashes the game (r. Mystery Meat)
- The Diadem's damage overlay has been disabled again to prevent freezing (r. HelltRYKS)

- A movement-related nullsprite crash has been fixed (c. DarkenedFantasies)
- An ai-related nullsprite crash has been fixed (r. beriso)
- Gameplay:
- It is no longer possible for units to retaliate against attackers that are out of range via hold position or other methods (c. DarkenedFantasies)
- Combatants on hold position no longer "freeze up" when attacked by out-of-range targets (c. DarkenedFantasies)
- Ascend status (from e.g. Protoss Vassal) now correctly clears for flingy units (e.g. Panoptuses)
- Edge cases with workers returning to inefficient town centers have been addressed (c. Veeq7)
- Units suffering from a Crisis of Faith have the debuff cleared when not within 8 range of a Demiurge allied to the original attacker

- While garrisoned, Olympians can no longer occasionally attack with Titant's Fist (r. Mystery Meat)
- AI:
- Reduced the resource bias for expansion selection to prevent unwanted edge cases on some maps
- Audiovisual:
- Player color randomization is now more robust, selecting colors with better contrast and being more foolproof even at high player counts (c. Veeq7)
- Fixed an issue preventing Magister Stellar Enforcement overlays from being created on any unit that didn't have a turret
- The attack overlay for Anchors is no longer created facing the wrong direction when turreted combatants (i.e. Goliath) attack
