Last week we finally added Reconnect to Robocraft! Yaaay! Unfortunately, along with this much-requested feature we shipped some bugs which caused us to revert the update. Boooo! Those bugs have been fixed and we're now ready to 'take 2' with the Reconnect Update! Alongside the Reconnect feature we've added a new Elimination mode BRAWL called "Uncommon Grounds" and fixed a few bugs too. You'll find the patch notes below.

BUG FIXES:

KNOWN ISSUES:
- Parties (Platoon and custom) may become disbanded if a user disconnects in that party
- When reconnecting to a game, audio cues you've missed out on will be queued up and play when you load in. Also sound effects may be heard during battle loading for a reconnecting player.
- If reconnecting while a mining point is being captured then the UI may temporarily be out of sync with the point progress
- Reactor Values may be 1% out of sync if you reconnect to a battle
- Reconnecting in a custom game doesn't give you the custom values set in lobby
