◆ ONGOING INVESTIGATION ◆As always, we are continuing to track issues reported by the community for future updates. Here is a brief overview of some of the issues that have been raised for which we are actively working on solutions:For other known issues, please visit this page to see what’s being tracked!
- DISCONNECTS: During the month of May, we’ll be implementing fixes for the connection issues which have been causing certain players to disconnect early on in their multiplayer matches. As always, we will be keeping a close eye on the situation following the update and will continue to collect information about any issues that arise or persist after the changes.
- LATENCY: We’re generally seeing latency issues begin to improve, but this is another area we’ll be monitoring closely as we continue to make back-end and forward-facing improvements to the game.
- LOCALIZATION/TRANSLATION ISSUES: We’ve been working through the reported and known translation bugs over the past several weeks, and you should begin seeing those results show up in the game now and in the coming months. These reports are a high priority for us, so keep them coming!
- PERFORMANCE: Performance continues to be a top priority, and we’ve been working on several big improvements that we can’t wait to share with you. We hope to have something to share in the month (and months) to come.
:alertalert: DISCLAIMERPlease note that this list is subject to change, and should not be considered a comprehensive list of all the known issues we’re tracking. The above is to inform you of the team’s current priorities, which will change as other issues arise or take precedence.
