Patch R066

13 July, 2025

─

1 - Launcher changes

• Trueskill PVP rating system:

  • Fixed a bug with the team balance calculation not showing the correct values

  • Further improvements were made to player rating calculation based on how battles unfolded (instead of just looking at win/loss). The result should be a fairer and more accurate rating for players.  

  • A reminder that with the system now fully implemented we strongly encourage players to follow the color recommendations and to make player swaps (matching players by color) to get as close to an evenly balanced game as possible. This will make games more fair and enjoyable for everyone.
