Note: A couple small bugs with windowed mode and low FPS have appeared in this patch. We will Hotfix as soon as today.
General Notes
This most recent patch rolled out quite a few new visual improvements and other items, but unfortunately new bugs with farms and servers appeared. Both of these critical bugs as well as some other new ones have been fixed in this patch. The server bugs were more challenging to address so we went ahead and rolled out the fixes in this full patch.
Thanks for everyone who playtested this past week as well. We got a lot of great feedback on balance changes, quality of life improvements, and some new bugs that we've fixed.
