Bug Fixes

Thank you for providing feedback on the AFK / leeching system since it’s release in v11.00. 

Homebase released a hotfix last week to tone down the restriction of the system and Commanders are reporting improvements across the board. We’re taking the feedback further in the v11.10 update by removing the leeching system from private matches and friend matches. 

Additionally, we’re taking another look at spawn points for SSDs as we’ve noticed the feedback regarding cross spawns at Ramp West and Beach North in Twine Peaks. We’re working to correct this in the v11.10 update. 

Thanks everyone!
