And finally, a quick update on dedicated servers.
We're still working on them.
I know a lot of you are really eager to get your hands on dedicated servers and the status right now is that we're still working on them.
Unfortunately, we don't really have an estimate yet on when they will be done.
We're working on them constantly
And I just want to take this opportunity as well, while we're on the topic of dedicated servers, to address that I've seen a lot of people talk online about how dedicated servers will fix all the online issues that we're having right now in the game.
And I just want to say that that's not necessarily true.
Implementing dedicated servers might solve some issues, but in other regards, it might make it way worse.
The truth is that we need to fix a bunch of stuff.
and there's a lot of stuff that we need to do like we need to do better client prediction and we need to fix up like a bunch of small bugs with multiplayer and just rolling out a dedicated server would not fix all that and that's partly why it's taking so long because we need to kind of fix one thing to fix the other
so to speak.
And this is why it's taking so long to get dedicated servers out, because we not only need to implement dedicated servers and all that jazz, but we also need to fix up all the network-related issues that the game is running into so we can deliver it all into one big, sweet package.
But we are working really hard on this.
This is something that's constantly being developed on.
Please bear with us.
