Major Fixes

  • Players are able to create and join party games with friends.

  • Players minimising the game will now follow players into a match.
  • Added two new servers,  North America East Coast and North America West Coast.

Other Fixes

  • End game screen changes to incorporate parties.
  • Estimated time remaining added to MatchMaking screen.
  • Empty spaces in Lobby will display as “bots” and inform of new players joining.
  • Party Members no longer have the ability to access the “Play” menu.  This is reserved for Party Leaders.

  • UI – “Ready” button prompt will now change to “Unready” when selected.
  • Lobby timer reduced.
  • Tutorials – Estimated completion time added.
