More news from Brother Justin:

Greetings, Brothers and Sisters!

We are pleased to announce that Last Year Patch 1.0.6 is up!

If you do not see the prompt to update, you may need to restart your Steam client.

With Patch 1.0.6, we’ve made more improvements to your Last Year experience:

1. Matchmaking: We’ve addressed some of the “Fatal Error” crashes related to match-making, and will continue to investigate the remaining cases. We’ve also improved lobby filling time for all players, and we’ve reduced the amount of time it takes to start a round should someone not “ready up.” We’re hoping the combination of these changes can ensure players are getting into games faster with fewer errors.
   
2. Parties: We’ve reduced some cases of dropping people from parties, but will continue investigating once this patch goes live to identify other cases to completely fix this issue. As such, we’d appreciate the community’s help in stress testing this feature and your patience as we track these bugs down.
   
3. We’ve also eliminated the “Progression Disabled” pop-up bug. The only person who will get this pop-up is a Fiend who is inviting their friends into a Lobby. If you accept an invite of this kind, you will know that you are in an “Unranked Match” by looking at the currencies in the top corner. They will be red, and will display the text “Unranked Match.”
   

We thank you for your continued support and patience. Next, we’ll continue to improve Matchmaking and our Party system, but will also begin to tackle Performance Optimization, as well as Balance and some gameplay related Bug Fixes!

Everyone here at Elastic Games remains committed to improving this title we all care so much about, and we'd love to hear your feedback! Feel free to head over to the Review Section on our Steam page and let us know how you feel about Last Year.

Sincerely,

Brother Justin
