Remembrance Day 2020 Update | Dead Matter

Another week, another update! We dropped another patch recently we're going to talk about and have some more screenshots from the community! playdeadmatter.com

As I'm sure you all have noticed, our site is down once again. At peak last night, we were fielding over half a million requests per minute, and even now site load is way higher than anticipated. We are doing everything in our power to get the site back online.
