Patch Notes
Parties
- PC – Fixed an issue with online presence not updating properly which prevented players from joining and getting into games as a party. For example, if a player is invited to join a party but is already in one, you will receive a message stating ‘<Player Name> is already in a party. We expect more improvements in the next update as well.
- Fixed an issue where parties dropped out after a match ended and were unintentionally sent back to the main menu
- Added a visual indicator that someone in a party cannot be invited to another party
- PC – If you are in a match and accept a party invite on PC, you will now be sent to the main menu to join the party
- Fixed an issue where a party member was not brought into the game with the game leader when using the server browser
- Accepting a party invite while in-game will no longer cover the disconnects prompt with the controls screen

Known Issues List
Top Known Issues
- PC: Epic Games Store friends online status may not always be accurate and party invites may fail
- Parties made on PC that enter together in server browser will only have the party leader enter successfully
Cross-Platform Parties:
Our team has worked to pivot to review the possibility of providing the feature of cross-platform parties as quickly as possible.
Console-specific issues:
- Xbox One: Customization/weapons are loading in late
- PlayStation: Asia region users with default controls (O button for Enter and X button for Back) makes most UI inaccessible. Swapping these, so that X is Enter, in your System settings is a workaround.
Gameplay:
- Players may experience desync when falling off of the pushable siege ramps
- Player sometimes may not sprint from initial spawn (player should stop and start again to fix)
- Players during pushable objective stages may teleport briefly
UI:
- Alt attack rebinds don’t work specifically on Tournament Grounds
- Some players will have global rank 1 appear on the scoreboard despite their rank appearing properly in pause menu
- Some keys can’t be bound as expected
- Rebinding certain keys will make “Get Up” and “Special Item” binds appear to use controller binds
Customization:
- Archer secondary weapon skin does not apply the skin in-game
- Items available for purchase by default show “New Item” notifications
Maps:
- Rudhelm Siege – Tower Ramp may launch players
- Dark Forest – Respawn timers may not be accurate
Gamepad:
- Gamepad players may battlecry despite selecting other emotes occasionally
Audio:
- Heartbeat audio can get in a state between matches where it persists
Visual:
- Dx12 VRS can cause visual artifacting on some maps (Tournament Grounds, for example)
