- **changed** — Minor polishing and stability improvements implemented
- **changed** — Game client update deployed with zero downtime

Hunters,

Tomorrow, May 20th, at 09:00 CEST, we will be deploying Update 2.7.1.2. This update will be installed with zero downtime.

Some of you may have noticed that we have already shipped a number of backend updates with zero downtime, but this will be our first attempt at deploying a minor game client update the same way. As this is a test run, the update itself will be quite small, containing minor polishing and stability improvements.

We will let you know once the update has finished deploying. Please note that for the changes to take place, you will still need to log out, allow the update to be installed, and then log back into the game.

Thanks!
