Patch Notes - 12.03.2020

[h2]Server Infrastructure Improvements[/h2] Over the past few updates, we have been reworking our backend infrastructure in order to support a larger number of players online concurrently. You may have noticed over the past week that during certain periods of the day, you would be stuck on "Game Found" when attempting to queue for a game. This was normally due to there not being enough dedicated game servers available to deal with the number of games being started, and our infrastructure was not scaling quickly enough to deal with the demand. This update brings a overhaul of the infrastructure providing dedicated game servers, with the aim of improving the reliability and speed of starting games. We will be able to start more games concurrently and have the ability to scale faster than before.
