UPDATE 26th MARCHPATCH 3.1.0j

The Patch is a (stability patch test).

The test group has been widened now beyond evocati, subs and concierge so that more backers are able to play too. This is 5-6k more players that have contributed to the Issue Council or played in lots of PTU build previously.

Testing Focus

This patch is an early release to deliberately investigate server stability and slow down issues. The team has an idea of what may be causing the issues you all observed over the weekend, but to test that we need to experiment with server settings in an environment with frequent player activity. Login, attempt to connect, play in the PU has normal for now. We will fill in the notes as we go, so check back here often if you are curious about changes.

Want to help? Hop on and hammer the servers! They need as many players on as possible in the PU over the next few hours. As always, your help is very much appreciated.
