Stars End Patch Notes — July 20, 2023
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Hey Everyone,
After a bit of a delay in June we are finally back with major update 92. This major update brings some much-needed improvements and fixes to server stability, migrating our server hardware to a much more powerful server. The MMO game sever has been fully cleaned up and is ready to welcome new players.
In addition, we looked into fixes some of the remaining common bugs still effecting the play and completed last of the cross-platform projects as well as controller improvements.
With this update out of the way - we will once again switch to releasing regular weekly and bi-weekly updates for the next foreseeable future.
