New patch today?

Just downloaded and applied a new patch, but I'm not seeing any mention of patch notes on the main website or the forums. Any idea what this patch did?


Issue 16 made me feel like this.

There aren't any patch notes, according to the announcement from yesterday. They had server maintenance at around 3pm EST today (changed from the original 5pm EST announced time), which is an odd time for maintenance.

I'm assuming there was an exploit they were in a hurry to fix or something of equal importance, or they would have waited until the regular maintenance tomorrow morning.

Maybe they are fixing the issue going on over at Virtue.

In short, players villain side are clicking on a mission door, then they are stuck in the loading screen for eternity, and never get to enter the mission.

I doubt today's patch was to fix the problems in that thread you linked to, considering it mentions that the problems started AFTER today's patch.

Thanks for the pickup Hellguard
I'm still wondering what exactly they 'patched', still no patch notes

We were having that problem yesterday on Freedom.

The patch appears to have fixed the bug that would crash teams on the kahn or baraccuda tf/sf.

Yeah, but obviously the patch today didn't fix it, if it was even intended to. If it was to fix something like that, there'd be no reason to say "there won't be any patch notes."

That kind of statement probably either means there was something "on the back end" that doesn't really affect players or they were nuking an exploit.

Based on all the goofiness I've seen today (like the global chat channels going haywire) I'd say it's a bunch of server-side fixes, and there are (hopefully) more to come.
