Stable matchmaking has been a major focus for us, especially after our launch day issues. With Ranked live, we’ve been hard at work to improve your ability to stay connected to our backend services, getting you into fair matches, and avoiding disconnects during play.
We have more updates and fixes on the way, but here are the patch notes for this morning.
PROGRESSION UPDATES
We’ve been tracking progression closely since launch.
To our surprise, Weekly/Daily Contracts and Crew Score Progression have been slower than intended, so we’ve increased the amount of XP and Fame from Daily and Weekly contracts.
You’ll now unlock Endorsements faster, and you’ll see a quicker climb toward Crew Rewards.
Weekly/Daily Contracts:
- Round Played: increased from 100 to 300
- Daily Goals: increased from 3,000 to 6,000
- Weekly Goals: increased from 12,000 to 24,000
- Team Goals: varies by quest, but generally doubled
Crew Competition:
- Crew Star: increased from 2,000 to 4,000
- Crew Competition Rewards: varies by goal, but generally doubled
GENERAL
- You can now start Custom Matches by yourself to practice line-ups, learn maps, or create content
- You can now Surrender starting on Round 2 with /ff (This should help if you have an early abandoner or leaver on your team)
- Fixed a set of issues that prevented players from connecting to our backend services, commonly manifested as ‘Online Services Error’ or ‘Party Join Error’
- Fixed an issue that should reduce disconnects from matches due to network throttling
- We’ve improved graphics performance on Mill B-Site with another optimization pass
BUG FIXES
- Fixed a bug where the Social & Report functionality wasn’t consistently working from the End of Match Scoreboard
- Fixed a bug where you were able to click the through to the Endorsement buttons from the Store
- The remaining time for Store offers now reflects the correct duration
