Therefore, just like any other game out there, higher ping resulting from distance from other players will still very much be a reality. Please note, it does not affect latency or performance-related lag. This improvement reduces the network delay between the host and off-host players in a lobby by roughly 90%. Thanks to the countless hours of work put in by our reverse engineer Danetta and a few other contributors, we were able to perform the 3rd and largest modification of the game's engine in the history of Patch 2.02! The 2.02 Team has pulled out all the stops and believes v9.0.0 is going to be a revolutionary patch for both the competitive and non-competitive communities.Īside from the team's continuous work on gameplay, balance, and design, the most notable breakthrough achieved in v9.0.0 is the long-awaited fix of the off-host-delay - a dream come true for online players!
After what seemed to be an endless wait, it is my pleasure to announce the official release of Patch 2.02 v9.0.0! The 2.02 Team has been working tirelessly to bring the community a patch focused on quality, and thus there was a conscious effort to ensure as much testing as possible took place prior to the official release.
