[p]Dear PLayers![/p][p] We are currently experiencing a major incident affecting Unity Services, as reported on their status page. Due to this issue, authentication for the voice chat feature is currently not working.[/p][p] Since voice chat is an essential part of our game, rooms cannot be started while the service is down. This may prevent players from joining or creating matches. [/p][p]The issue originates from Unity’s infrastructure, and we are closely monitoring the situation. We will keep you updated and notify you as soon as everything is back to normal.[/p][p][/p][p] Thank you for your understanding and patience.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]
