Update June 6th: We will apply the update to all game worlds this morning, German time. We have also added one more fix to the change-log which is highlighted in orange.
Finally, the new version 1.5.7 is ready for launch. It has been tested on Stapleton and we think it is ready for release. Since a test with real-live data and an actual deployment still isn’t the same thing though, we will first patch Tempelhof and will wait some time (might be a few hours, maybe a few days) to see what happens. As soon as we are sure no negative side-effects have been missed, we will roll out the new versions to all game worlds.
You can find a full change-log below as usual. But in general this update is about some invisible but hopefully noticeable changes to core systems to improve performance and the removal of entry barriers as described before for new players. Please let us know what you think!
