Happy Thursday, folks! This initial patch for V1034 fixes various crashes some art-related bugs, and does a little back-end cleanup. It also tweaks audio and AI slightly. [quote][h3]📢 IMPORTANT NOTICE to server owners re: [b]rubber-banding[/b][/h3] We're aware of the severe [b]online rubber-banding issue[/b], and although we haven't fully determined the cause yet (we have a lead!) we did notice that [i]the issue keeps increasing in severity the longer the server is live[/i]. Restarting the server usually fixes the issue. 👉 [b]As a temporary solution, we suggest admins/owners set up their servers to automatically restart every 4–6 hours.[/b] [/quote] We're currently compiling a list of needs for patch V1034.2, to be released in a few weeks and hopefully fixing the rubber-banding and other major issues.
