[2022] [Downtime] PTR Update: August 18th, 2022

Greetings Adventurers,

We will be holding an estimated 1 hour (~60 minutes) downtime 2022-08-18T17:30:00Z.

As the PTR is now rolling, you can expect to see continued updates and downtime notification to test specific features within the game.

For this new update, we would like your help in testing the Group Finder. We are looking for additional telemetry to help increase our confidence to help us get closer to releasing the feature.

Here are the notes for this update:

• Fixed an issue where players were unable to join or create other Group Finder lobbies after leaving an existing lobby. Players in this state were also able to continuously see the previous lobby’s chat.
• Fixed an issue that caused the player to get into a bad state when returning to the main menu while waiting in a Group Finder lobby.
• Fixed an issue where the Group Finder UI would not update to reflect a player’s change in preferred role.
• Fixed an issue where players in a Group Finder lobby would receive a misleading error message (“Lobby Deleted”) when a lobby was actually successfully converted to party.
• Added a Group Finder lobby creation restriction for players still in their New Player Probation window.
• Added a Group Finder lobby restriction to the number of pending applications a lobby can receive at one time.
• Added bandwidth and server performance optimizations.
• Added client and server crash fixes.

Please provide any feedback and bug reports for these features using the in-game feedback tool or here:

We appreciate your help in testing. See you in Aeternum!

Maintenance has been completed! See you in the PTR!
