June Dev Update
June 26th, 2024
- We’re planning to release another major patch early next month!
- Like our last major patch, this one will have a ton of fixes for bugs you all have brought up.
- We’re also looking into high priority issues that have been flagged, including
- Region server matchmaking issue where some players sometimes end up in the wrong server for their region causing them high ping
- Solo queue wait time bug.
- We kicked off the Pre-Season for Ranked on PC last week and the feedback and support we’ve gotten already has been incredibly valuable!
- As you all know, Pre-Season is a warm-up for Ranked to make sure things are working as intended and to hear from you on what could be improved before we kick off Season One across all platforms.
- Thanks to your feedback, we’ve been able to identify how we could improve Ranked across the board, including limiting the size of a crew who can queue for a Ranked match (e.g., removing 5 stacks).
- Please continue to share your feedback, so we can make a ton of improvements before we start Season One!
