⚠️ Known Issues 

• Matchmaking Settings 

  • We are aware of an issue where the help text "Cannot be set if "Match Area" is set to "All." was incorrectly displayed when setting the Connection Speed in the Matching Setting screen.

  • When Match Area is set to “All” while a Connection Speed limit is applied, matchmaking may take longer. If setting Match Area to “All,” we recommend also setting Connection Speed to “All.” 

    We apologize for any confusion caused by the incorrect information. 

📝 Additional Notes

  • After updating the game, replays created in previous versions will no longer be searchable or playable. 

  • Locally saved replays will remain on your system, but will not be available for playback.
