    How long has this been out? Like nearly a week? I feel like the term "Ready to launch" might have been as overly optimistic as saying "John Candy is in the pole vault run up position and he is ready to launch!" It's technically true but also non technically false.

    Game seems laggier in the latest build. Every thing freezes before launching, even exiting the game takes forever than it should. PvP was already laggy because of supports and mthor/polaris and their nonsense, now I can feel my pc wheezing of overprocessing.

    To whomever forced the team to rush this out,

    I definitely feel for the dev team. If you work in technology, we have all been there at one point. Everyone working on the product/release knows it's not ready. Beta users say it's not ready. But money was spent to develop it and at some point those higher up say "we don't care, release it". And then those who did the work, or have to polish the t*rd to show to customers, take the blunt of rushing something out that still needs weeks/months/years to do in a proper manner.

    Someone found the All-bran.

    Ha! Or the Drano.

    This morning I caught a very fresh PvE bracket. Joined at 10. Climbed to 4. Oh, but joke's on me, as a Steam player I get 0pts for waves, and there are 3 waves in this sub .... so I am dropping like a rock. So much for an "easy" top 10 placment. No matter how optimally played, I probably won't make top 200, as I 'll be missing 20+% of the points.

    Don't worry. I'm sure compensation will be commiserate to what you lost by being on "Unity". :-)

    Comensurate, but commiserate is also a good choice :D

    Down to 185th place already, wheeeee.

    Ha! My bad but it is definitely an appropriate word to use in this case. Definitely empathetic towards Steam players right now.

    Any way to get rewards checked for Steam users? I didn't seem to get the correct rewards for end of Season (no 8CPs, no LT for alliance reward).

    These are the rewards for me for end of Season:

    5Omega Red -60
    4Gamora -300
    *** mighty
    3Ironfist -B
    3Ironfist -P (I believe this is where the actual rewards stopped, because up to here I can recruit these 2 covers)
    5Omega Red -60
    4Gamora -300
    *** mighty
    3Ironfist -P
    5Omega Red -60
    4Gamora -300
    *** mighty
    ** heroic
    3Ironfist -P

    (so that's the PVP reward and Season end reward) No CPs, no LT for the season (alliance is T100)

    I would raise a ticket, just in case, via email.

    After the Steam Update.
    3. Occasionally I can't make matches (You can only press Escape and retreat, taking retreat damage)
    I can click on the "X", Options or Retreat, just not on any tiles in the game.
    The only pattern I have found, it is seems to happen when all enemies are air born, stunned or downed (downed only happens in a multi-waved match)

    Above has the multi-wave match scenario (see my previous non-multi example)
    I recorded me making a match, and then can no longer make matches afterwards.

    Bonus: It also captures the "stuck blue screen" that others have mentioned.
    You have to force kill the app, it will sit there forever.
    I stopped recording after a few seconds of the blue screen, but let it sit for 2 minutes.

    P.S.I am now recording every MPQ session I do.
    If you want better quality captures and not GIFs, DM me.
    I fully understand that reproducible steps are the key to fixing bugs.
    Going forward, I can do that.
    Thanks!
