Devs quick question about playercount

[Triage90]

I loved this game up until the sad loss of players. i see now that theres 160 roughly on on steam. with the recent free option on epic, is there a way for us to see overall player count? i'm really hoping the epic sale is going to drive in more players again.

Sadly Epic doesn't publicly show the player numbers, and so I can't share them. However I can tell you that it is way, way more than 160. Numbers are looking quite good right now, its a great time to reinstall and play if you are interested!

We have "host migration" now, which means if the host leaves it will automatically pick a new host for that match, which allows the match to continue like normal.

We have however seen some reports of a bug in this system when possibly playing with large parties of players, and we are investigating it and hope to have a fix out for that pretty soon.

you will lose players very very quickly if you do not make the game balanced, there is no fun in getting destroyed over and over by veterans with 5000 hours

From what we have seen in our analytics so far, matches seem to be pretty balanced. Would love to know more about any issues you are running into though! If you are talking about in the past, we have certainly made a lot of improvements to our matchmaker in the recent months.
