[2021] [LIVE] DTLS Testing

You may recall our plans to test DTLS in November of last year: 

The time has come! 

DTLS Roll-Out is here, USE THIS THREAD for reporting problems! 

We are testing some new network code out in this Hotfix. Even though we’ve tested it extensively on the Test Cluster we need more coverage!

The primary goal of these changes is to improve networking for Xbox players by replacing some proprietary network code; when these changes make it to Xbox they will enable our automatic proxy service that already helps players with Strict NAT and other network problems on other platforms (this is something we’ve wanted to get to Xbox players for a long time).

The added advantage of this new code is that it should be more secure and more robust on networks that corrupt network packets (we already defend against this to some degree but the new code is more thorough). This won’t make your ping any better but if something is mangling network packets we might be able to avoid it causing bugs in the game.

We’ll be monitoring the roll-out closely and will be able to disable quickly if we encounter problems.

After patch the game is a horrible slide show

 Removing Dx10 support accidentally defaulted everyone to using the DirectX 12 Beta! We'll get a fix out soon but you can reset this in the launcher settings if you're having problems.
