Thank you for your patience and all your feedback on the previous patch. We’ve now rolled patch v1.01 over to the default branch and are staging a new patch v2 on a beta branch for community testing. As always, participation in this patch is voluntary, if you are not experiencing any of the issues below we recommend you stay on the default branch and do not download the patch.
Please note that patch v2 includes the fixes from patch v1.01, and so the patch notes include fixes from both patches.
Your feedback helps us a great deal. Please report any issue you encounter post-patch in this thread with your system specs.
