No idea what was in it, but I'm grabbing a 146.3Mb patch atm, and I think it's the same size as the one that wanted to apply to test last night.
If it's the fix for the DXP weekend glitch, then it's bleedin' huge.

Yeah, so about what actually WAS in the patch...
What was wrong with the double experience weekend? I didn't hear anything about it being wrong.

I don't think that's what Angelxman81 was saying. He was saying they were fixing the performance bug that was preventing Paragon from feeling good about activating 2XP.

OK, but now I have to ask in turn - what was that performance bug? I don't recall meeting with one in City of Heroes for a while.

Something to do with mapservers, according to the UStream yesterday.
Always remember, we were Heroes.
Maybe they fixed the team window bug?

We don't know exactly. But Double XP Weekend was postponed because an issue had been identified - presumably we did not experience the problem because it was directly related to the double xp script. So they patched something behind the scenes to fix it.

Apart from that, I have no idea what the patch was, because not even the Test server has notes for anything more recent than the patch on the 20th.

Maybe they fixed the memory leak.

Thank you, that should be enough to tide me over until the patch notes get made. If it's a hotfix, I can kind of cut them some slack on wanting to get that out fast, but I'll still be on the lookout for 'em.|

Today when I went to play City of Heroes, there was a patch I needed to download and apply. When I played last night, there was no patch, so I'm pretty sure that came with the downtime today. Only problem is... There are no patch notes for it. The latest ones are for the one on the 20th, which I've already seen.
So what did this patch do to the game? Is there anything I should be aware of? Anything cool? Anything bad? I didn't see how large it was since I went to look for patch notes while it downloaded, then went to the forum to ask and got sidetracked until the thing had applied.
So what was in that patch, anyway?
