This hotfix introduces several tweaks to game balance and also contains CPU performance improvements. In addition, we are consolidating our Invasion/Frontline/BR servers to 48 players per server, as we feel this is a better number when it comes to the gameplay experience. Since we know some players enjoy chaotic large-scale brawls, we are setting up a couple server-browser exclusive 96-player servers, search for “experimental” in the server browser to find these. Please note, that the 96-player servers are experimental and we will be monitoring them to see how they perform.
