Hey Everyone,

We’ll be releasing a small client patch tomorrow, January 31st at 7am EST (1200 UTC) to address some minor bugs. There will be no downtime but there will be a required update.

Thank you!

We've heard recent feedback that it seemed like explosive weapons were dropping too frequently. After doing some investigating, we discovered that drop rates were a little higher than we’d like.

 

Based on that, we’ve just released a hotfix to reduce the chance of receiving an explosive weapon in chests from 4.13% to 3.08%

 

Drop in and let us know what you think! We’ll continue to monitor feedback based on this change.

A lot if the Trello cards are really old too. Though it says they're "Investigating a fix". They've been "Investigating a fix" for the Ragnorak ADS bug since September 2018 -_-

Indeed some of these cards are old. It has taken us too long to fix the Ragnarok issue where the crosshair is blocked, however, we do have a speculative fix planned for that issue for Season 8.

Hey folks,

We wanted to drop in and confirm that we're aware of an issue some PC players are experiencing that's causing them to freeze at loading screens.

We're working towards a fix and will provide an update on social channels once we've resolved the issue.

I'm seeing some reports in this thread that console players are also experiencing freezes at loading screens. Please provide the following information so we can dig further into this:

  • Platform

  • In-game Username

  • When this started occurring

The instant building issue still isn't on the Trello board. It's the most frustrating bug on console and should be your top priority.

Howdy!

First off, great callout. Secondly, the reason it's not currently on the Trello board is that this is actually the currently intended functionality. However, we have heard the feedback that it feels strange to not have the initial piece build immediately.

We're discussing potential options we can do in order to make improvements to this functionality at some point in the future. We'll let you know where we land on this once we've discussed it further. Thanks!

We’ve disabled the ability to view replays while we investigate an issue.

 

All replays will still be saved during this time and watchable once this feature has been re-enabled.
