May 21, 2026 - Client Update

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Restart your client if you have not already done so to receive this client update.


Crashes

  • Fixed a bug in multithreaded code that could have caused worker thread deadlocks and message loss.

  • Reduced CPU usage on processors without simultaneous multithreading.

Anti-Cheat Kicks

  • Fixed a bug in anti-cheat measures that caused false-positive reports.

All measures above should reduce the chances of client crashes and false-positive anti-cheat kicks. We will continue monitoring the situation. Please feel free to contact us on Discord and let us know whether these fixes helped or not. We greatly appreciate the community’s help with the current investigation!

Compensation

We understand how frustrating these crashes can be for players and are doing our best to resolve them ASAP! Meanwhile, the Double XP event will be extended as compensation for the current issues. Stay tuned for more updates.
