Hey everyone,
We've been working hard on fixing bugs and we hope this hotfix release will bring a more stable experience to the battlefields of Onward.
In the next hotfix (v1.6.8) we'll see the long awaited maps coming back to Onward as well as some huge RAM/memory gains! We expect the improvements to reduce RAM usage on each map by roughly 3-4 GBs.
Also as a sign of good faith to our competitive community, future updates/patches will only be released on Wednesdays (unless an urgent fix is needed). That way we can react quickly to any issues introduced so weekend matches can go smoothly.
