Patch notes 0.1.1-5189
Hey Deadsiders we've just released another client hotfix that fixes two major problems:
Players with some-non alphanumeric symbols in their names can't connect to servers
Now the issue with # and ? should be resolved
New ping system
A lot of you are complaining about bad pings and slow ServerBrowser.
As we said we didn't expect so many of you jumping on your private servers simultaneously (thank you for that!), and this resulted in a lot of network requests from every client to every live server. I won't go into technical details about TCP and ICMP, but we accidentally made self-DDoS system.
So we dumped the old system and made a new one, which scales very well and is much more stable.
To get this hotfix you need to restart Steam client, which should then download Deadside update autmatically. Also it can be downloaded without restarting Steam, just exit the game and click "Verify integrity of local files" in the game's Properties window (to open it click RMB on the game in the library).
P.S. Also we have four more Brazil servers online!
