Topics that didn’t make it into this patch and that we are working on:
– new character Gnaw will come soon!
– some players get excessive lag or too many network errors. Less than 0.1% of players cannot enter an online match at all. We are working on this.
– we are still looking for a fix for some players with various Nvidia cards who can only run on Low graphics quality, or not at all.
– a couple of players with specific Asus laptops cannot start the game at all. We are still looking for a fix for this.
– some users claim that there are bugs in the Rankings calculations, so we have added additional logging to be able to research that. If you see things like that you win and then see your ranking decrease, then send us a log plus extensive description of what happened, so that we can check what is going on.
– besides new characters and various fixes, we are working on something Really Cool And New ™. We will not yet tell you what that is. Muhaha!
