June 2023 Patch

Client Changes

Login

  • Added the ability to cancel the login process if it takes longer than 30 seconds
  • Corrected an issue where you could click the login buttons during the loading screen for logging in

In-Game Text

  • Updated various text to reflect changes made in recent updates
  • Fixed a number of incorrect descriptions based on reports. Please continue to report these in the community discord and we will continue to fix these.

Networking

  • Increased the time before the client determines that a login attempt has failed from 25 seconds to 60 seconds. The login will still fail quicker if a wrong password or username has been entered, this is specifically for if the game server socket is taking longer than expected to be established.
  • Changed the game from an arbitrary wait time of 10 seconds rather than 30 seconds for a response from the server before determining that the connection to the server has been severed. This check may be tuned further if need be, but this is an extra check in the case that the socket is reading as connected when it is not connected, for some reason.

Server Fixes

  • Corrected an issue in which the campaigns Abating Nora and Nefari Resurrection were not properly giving their legendary rewards
  • Fixed an issue in which Echo Chamber was not correctly hitting stealthed units
  • Fixed an issue in which Putrid Bile Zombie [LIM] did not have the same class as Bile Zombie
