Online Matchmaking Updates:
- Timing issues in our matchmaking server cluster were resulting in “cold” lobbies that wouldn’t be properly evaluated by new matchmakers
- We have modified the matchmaking rules and timing controls of the client and server to ensure all lobbies are evaluated by new matchmakers
- As lobbies remain open to the public for a longer time their matchmaking weight is increased to promote a first come first served behavior
Online Leaderboards Updates:
- We are fixing the bug that was giving you a loss or preventing your games from being reported to the Live Run leaderboard when playing consecutive games in the same lobby, and we’re resetting the Live Run leaderboard so that everyone starts fresh with these changes.
