Tonight's hotfix addresses a number of server side crashes and bugs with significant tweaks to how matchmaking lobbies function. We made a change to the Vs. Humans playlist that will now only start matches when the lobby has 8 players. This was created in a direct response to player feedback regarding team balance, wherein players began a match with the teams uneven. A list of the changes are below:
Gameplay
- Re-enabled Annihilation in the Competitive Playlist.
- The minimum number of players needed to start a match in the Casual Vs. Humans playlist is now 4.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed several stability issues related to Annihilation.
- Fixed several server side bugs causing asserts and crashes.
