Remember to switch back to normal version if you're on PTE servers!
Hey there, after a week of testing on the PTE, we've polished up and fixed most problems we had with the 0.1.1 patch. We've isolated problems with connecting to the game (both menu and matches) and it's much better. If you still have problems connecting, we'll have additional topics with resolutions to them as we find them.
Patch Notes
[KNOWN ISSUES]
MGs have wrong ammo caliber displayed in the menu (this does not affect their in-game performance),
Weapon customization descriptions still not final & bugged,
Sometimes respawning on Warsaw can result in death (press ESC -> Respawn to fix it) - we'll be fixing this tomorrow,
Sometimes your profile can reset it's customization - this is a temporary workaround to let people play while we fix corrupting profiles.
[GAMEPLAY]
