Hello Prospectors,
As we had some issues that needed to be handled immediately the team put some hours into fixing those today and we can put out Hotfix 2.0.3 today. In case you are wondering why 2.0.3 we already had 2 updates in the last week that did not require a maintenance.
Hotfix 2.0.3 is incoming and we aim for a maintenance at 8:30 PM CEST / 2:30 PM EDT / 11:30 AM PDT
This Hotfix will change and fix the following things:
