Hey Community!

With this latest update we’re primarily addressing some server requirements that don’t have a visible impact on your play experience, but we did want to make specific mention of the desyncs in MP that you’ve been reporting. These are bugs that we’re actively monitoring and working on, so please keep reporting these errors if you’re running into them. We simply want to assure you that this is of high importance to us, and we’ll be delivering fixes if they’re needed until any problems that may exist are eliminated.

Thank you so much for your patience!
