The October 8 patch notes are here for Spectre Divide, bringing more optimization updates to the first-person shooter.
It's Tuesday, folks. That means Spectre Divide has some downtime and, on this October 8, bringing another set of patch notes. This time around, it is full of optimization. Nothing majorly game changing, but it will make your experience playing a bit better.
Let's take a look.
Full Spectre Divide October 8 patch notes
General
- Added experimental servers in Frankfurt for better coverage in Europe
- We’ll evaluate how often the server is used, and whether it is performing up to our standards before considering this a permanent addition to our region map.
- Added additional fallback functionality to our region detection
- This should allow you to see more applicable servers if your networking setup is blocking specific ports and connections.
Ranked/Casual Updates
- Slightly increased the maximum time to find a fair match
- We constantly adjust these values, but felt it was important to call out the intentional increase given smaller player population
