KNOWN ISSUES
- Twitch Drops: We’re aware that some players are currently unable to access previously earned Twitch Drops. This is a backend issue, so the fix will not require another hotfix or game download. We’ll let you know as soon as access has been restored.
- Server Browser: Some servers may not appear when browsing or searching for them in-game. Affected servers can still be joined by manually entering their IP address. We’re working on a fix and will let you know once the issue has been resolved.
