Developer Relic says that it will execute maintenance operations on its real-time strategy title Company of Heroes 2 starting with 3 PM Pacific Daylight Time today, with the total downtime expected to take around 3 hours to complete.

The period was chosen because it sees a limited number of players engaged in multiplayer battles.

Relic is not offering clear information on what the maintenance period might mean for players in the long run.

The multiplayer component of Company of Heroes 2 is stable and, usually, the game does not suffer from matchmaking or from lag issues.

The developers have also been paying attention to the feedback coming from the community and have delivered updates that better balance the overall experience.

Company of Heroes 2 takes players to the Eastern Front and introduces a new mode called Theater of War alongside single and multiplayer.
