Hello Onward Players,

We hope you are continuing to enjoy the features like the improved audio and reporting system that came with 1.9. Given the amount of work and changes that were done to the back end of the game, we were happy with the overall stability of the update. Once players did start to report problems related to things like lobby visibility and access or player names not being visible, the change to our new host gave us the ability to quickly identify the causes and jump into action to resolve some of the issues within a matter of hours.

There are still a couple of lingering bugs that were discovered and quickly fixed, however these require a game update in order to resolve them. We are releasing hotfix 1.9.1 to address those issues reported. Below in the change log is the details of what issues were fixed.

Independent of this hotfix we are looking into lobby stability issues you’ve reported to us over the past week, some of which seem to affect the co-op lobbies in particular. Until we are able to address these issues a workaround for some of the issues is to start new lobbies regularly, and for co-op lobbies in particular, playing with a lower number of bots.

Change Log:

• Fixed a bug that would cause the Workshop UI to disappear unless the player scrolled the page
  
• Private lobbies will now correctly open to public using the “Set to public” button in the back of the tent
  
• Corrected issues related to players receiving unexpected error messages when creating or joining games
  

Known Issues:

• Weapon recoil may cause the player character to let go of their weapon with their offhand if the player’s hands are already at the edge of the maximum grab distance
  
• Players are kicked to the main menu when selecting a custom map after another player leaves the lobby during a map vote
  
• Lobby crashes happen after a large number of magazines are discarded. To avoid this, while this is being worked on, it is advised that you regularly start fresh lobbies when playing co-op especially with high bot counts
  
• In the Workshop, some subscribed maps always require an update to the map after refreshing the Workshop page
  
• Error code 7 notifications being given as a result of the game taking too long to respond to the server
