PATCH 1.19 & PATCH 1.20
Early this morning, SDS released Patch 1.16. Today’s patch is small in size and unlikely to have a major impact on the game. However, it does fix a few bugs that were certainly frustrating during online play. Per TheShowNation, here are the key points of the patch notes for both patches:
- Minor XP tuning.
- Minor adjustments to play-by-play commentary.
- Art inclusions for future live content.
- Fixed an issue where XP was not being rewarded for certain Player Lock moments.
