We've added some quality of life changes to the server browser because we want your lives to be a little easier:

• Clicking a server will no longer join it immediately, instead it will allow you the option to join or favorite it before joining, and to also see specifically which friends are in that server.
  
  
• We've revamped the ping filter.
  
  
• You can now filter by server name.
  
  
• We've added a notification when you are kicked for being afk, and you will be offered an attempt to reconnect.
  
  
• You can now connect to servers through the Steam server list when the game is closed (view > servers)

Note: We've become aware of crashes being caused by the friends tab, investigating now. (UPDATE should now be fixed)

Also, for those of you on 21:9 that experienced problems, the fix will not come as quickly as we thought. It seems the UI is not reacting to the ratio change how we expected. We apologize for that! We do hope you are still enjoying the game at other resolutions though!

We are also aware of issues with level resets and have also been told they are not permanent and it may be restored when joining a different server.

We have now launched servers in US West and the Asian regions due to popular demand. Along with this comes the availability of our dedicated server to those who would like to host their own Blackwake servers: http://steamcommunity.com/app/420290/discussions/0/133258092252748163/

We have also added the option to censor custom ship names for yourself in the options menu if you are a streamer or find them to sometimes be offensive.

SERVER BROWSER FIXES
An experimental change has been made in an attempt to alleviate some of the connection issues where servers appear to have room yet you are denied access. This change may take some time to reach full effect, but so far we are noticing higher rates of success getting into near full servers.

A very small handful of you have PC specs above the minimum. Yet have FPS permanently low even at the menu screen and even switching it to low settings.

1. Please make sure your Nvidia GPU is not in "Power saving mode" and set to max performance instead. As seen here:

http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3130/~/setting-power-management-mode-from-adaptive-to-maximum-performance

A few of you have said this has fixed the issue.

2. Gaming monitors above 60hz may cause crashing consistently unless you have Vsync turned ON.

3. Try and set "-window-mode exclusive" as a launch option on Steam.

4. Try "-force-d3d9" as a launch option on Steam.

Development:
- We are currently looking into the server browser, connection issues as we have fixed those other 2 major bugs of FPS drops and server freeze.

- 21:9 and a few other issues

- Custom server support coming soon

- We are aware score is still not showing up at the bottom! Will be fixed next update most likely.

Note: Currently patching servers, hang tight! We ran into some issues while applying patches, we apologize for any constant up/down of servers.

We've identified and patched a very likely culprit in both the FPS drop issue and the player freezing. Please keep us updated with feedback, fixing these are extremely important to us.

We've also identified an issue where players were joining servers without increasing the counter, causing failure connecting to servers that appeared to have room. We're still playing with fixes for this, but it's best to try and join servers that have a lot of slots open.

These three issues have been our absolute top priority, once we can confirm they're fixed we will move on to other less serious issues such as 21:9 UI issues and XP progress loss.

Another issue has been brought to our attention where you may not see your cursor in the menu, please check that you do not have a controller connected somewhere as it will be detected.


Update: We just released a quick clientside patch to restore the score points on the bottom of the screen. These were disabled when we were investigating the FPS drops.

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know we're aware of some issues going on and are working hard to fix them.

We have a small patch for now:

Some experimental changes were made to help alleviate the network freezing happening to some users, we are still working on this.

Server list will now notify you a server is full rather than attempting to connect and failing. We are still having some issues here but hopefully it won't be as annoying, it's lower in priority to the freezing/fps issues right now.


Players connecting from within the same houshold should now be able to.

Note that we are aware of FPS drops, this one will take some more time:
