Many thanks to all of the players who have been sharing information with us about situations where they have not been able to play due to latency (ping) estimations when they really should have pretty good internet. This only affects a subset of players, so there is a good chance this update is not relevant to you, but it might be. Out of these groups:
- Players who can use Matchmaking fine already

This update is for the middle set. Definitely let us know if this helped you or not!
Fixes also went in for not selecting the correct mode/map when directly inviting someone to play with.
