It's at the top of our known issues list, and we're hoping to have it fixed with the start of Season 8.

What about the field going in and out of focus for an entire match? Like blinking between good and blurry? Really nauseating tbh.

Hey! What platform are you on?

Utopia (Gilded) is a night map so the main menu will be a touch darker when it's the backdrop!

No announcement on this update? I went from a casual match to version mismatch out of nowhere

Usually a "heads up" on twitter at some point

We did! We try and do a 24h heads-up before any update.

Hoping this addresses it, from the Bug Fixes section:
"Fixed save data uploads so they do not affect connectivity and/or in-game performance at the start of online matches for some players"

It's always going to be an inconvenient time for someone. This time is off-peak.

Any reason it’s not 4am PT? Seems like it makes the most sense to have it when the least amount of people are on.

We generally try to avoid updating the game that far outside normal working hours.

When are private matches getting fixed? Specifically referring to seeing the names in the lobby + peoples names not disappearing after they join/leave a team.

We're hoping to have this fixed for Season 8, thanks for being patient!

Yep! Sometimes bugs fall into later updates, or can be trickier to fix than originally thought, or are dependent on fixes to other systems. Goal is to fix it with S8, couching it in case something unforeseen happens. Thanks!

I am on Xbox One and can no longer join party’s with people that play on Series X/S, If this is a feature added it shouldn’t be a thing.

Do you mean Xbox parties or in-game parties?

In game parties, It says “unable to join party, they are using a different version of the game”. I’m on xbox one and my friend is on series X. we both updated though.

Please keep me updated if this issue keeps happening throughout the next 24 hours :)

Also can you and your friend(s) confirm that the version you all have is 1.1.1.9?

Still no fix for the "Rank Disparity" issue, and still not listed on the known issues page? It literally happens to me and a friend every single night after playing in a tourney, and I can even leave the party and still see "Rank Disparity" when attempting to join anything besides 1v1.

I need some more details if you can provide them! Message incoming!

Anything new on the issue where the game doesn’t initially load when you go to launch it, and then you have to launch it again? This has been happening for me on Steam, but I know from other threads here that it’s happening on Epic and possibly other platforms as well.

Nothing new to share but we do have it on the known issues list linked in the post above.

As Devin mentioned elsewhere in the thread, we try to avoid updating outside of standard working hours.

Here's a side by side. The map in game has normal brightness, in the menu it doesn't.

Apologies, I can clarify here. The lighting for arenas in the main menu and garage is not the same as when you're playing a match. In this case, the lighting for Utopia (Gilded) in the garage/menus is darker than what you see when playing online, on top of Gilded being a night map to begin with. This is why colors look different in the garage vs in matches right now.
