April 1, 2026 - Patch Notes

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Servers will be offline tomorrow 4/1 @ 6AM PST. for a scheduled maintenance. Estimated downtime may be up to 3 hours. Please see the patch notes below.


Maintenance duration

As part of this update, we're returning to the standard 3-hour maintenance window instead of 6. Thank you for your patience!

Crashes and Disconnections / Auto-Kicks

  • We continue to monitor the situation and work on improvements aimed at minimizing crashes and disconnects. In this patch, we have improved server-side performance, which should reduce the number of disconnects related to server issues.

  • As promised in the previous patch notes, we have made error handling more user-friendly. We have reduced the number of crashes without error messages to a minimum. In the vast majority of cases, players will now see a clear and understandable error message—whether it’s a client crash or a server-side disconnect. In the screenshot, you can see an example of an error message that appears when you are kicked by a server administrator.

If a crash is caused by an issue with the Windows operating system or hardware, we will display the corresponding system error. The game now displays a Windows message with recommended fixes in case of issues with graphics cards that can be resolved only on the OS or BIOS level. Please attach screenshots of any errors when reporting issues on Discord, social media, or when contacting customer support—this will help us resolve problems as quickly as possible! Our main goal is to provide you with a smooth and exciting gaming experience without crashes, disconnections, or other errors!
