PATCH NOTES
We wanted to share with players some known issues that were found late in testing for tomorrow’s patch.
Known Issues:
Some players may experience server errors when trying to unlock the perks 'Unrelenting' and 'Dracula' in Hands Skill Tree
EDIT: This issue has been resolved prior to deploying this patch - 11/26/2024
Players loading into 'Rush Week' may experience prolonged wait times for player refills if players leave the lobby
Players may experience native invites not functioning properly for Private Matches
Current workaround is joining a party before loading into a Private Match
Please note that these known issues are being worked on by our teams for a fix that will launch outside of our usual patch cadence. The testing and certification process may be affected by the holiday. Thank you for your patience.
