This is a minor patch for the Beta branch that includes:

● Added more information in our telemetry functionality to help track down network issues

● Changed the maximum time until the user is disconnected when network packets are not handled

If you are experiencing issues when playing online in the form of disconnects or not able to connect, you can help us by doing the following:

1. Make sure you switch over to Beta Branch

a. Right click on the game in steam, select Properties

b. Go to Game Versions & Betas and select the Beta version (screenshot below)

Please make sure to opt-in to our telemetry

a. Start the game

b. Go to Settings

c. Go to Gameplay

d. Make sure Telemetry is set to ON

Play the game, and when a disconnect happens we will get additional information that will help us fix network issues.

With patch 1.6 we hope to have solved some of the major disconnects issues we’ve seen happening. But to try it out we are today launching it on the Beta branch on Steam. So, if you have encountered a lot of disconnects, please jump into the Beta branch and try it out. Save games are compatible between 1.5 and 1.6 so you can jump back to 1.5 without risking your save. Please note that cross-play with players not using 1.6 will not work.

Please continue to report any issues that you encounter as that helps us improve the game!

IMPORTANT: We’ve seen a lot of Nvidia GPU crashes, and it is because of driver issues. Make sure you update to the latest drivers before playing, that should resolve GPU crash issues on Nvidia hardware.

As usual, the fix list below can contain potential spoilers.

The main change in 1.6 is that we’ve disabled the disconnect code in the game. This means that disconnects will hopefully happen a lot less frequently. However, this does mean that when playing on a bad network with high ping / packet loss you might experience desyncs, slow response and potentially game breaking bugs.

Patch 1.6 also includes almost 300 bug fixes including most of the soft blockers & crashes that we’ve seen happening.
