Thank you so much for your fantastic participation in our Steam Next Fest demo!

We received a large number of feedback tickets, all of which have been logged in our system. We are currently working intensively to review and prioritize them accordingly.

Unfortunately, there were issues with region-based matchmaking during the demo, which caused some of you to get stuck in a loading screen loop. Internally, we’ve started calling this bug the “Loading Lord” — while the name may sound almost majestic, the experience was anything but royal for those affected.

For that, we sincerely apologize.

We are working at full speed on a solution to dethrone the Loading Lord and prevent similar issues in the future.

As a small two-person indie team, it’s a major challenge to fully test complex online systems under real-world conditions. Nevertheless, we are doing everything we can to provide you with a stable and smooth gameplay experience.

After Steam Next Fest, we will temporarily disable the demo and shift our focus back to scheduled playtests. You’ll be able to sign up for upcoming playtests directly on the store page after the event.

Performance optimization also remains one of our core development priorities.

Thank you for your support, your patience, and your valuable feedback — you’re helping us make Usurpator better every day.
