Spectre Divide – First Major Patch
Despite initial hurdles, including matchmaking issues, in-game store pricing adjustments, DDoS attacks on servers, and login problems, the team has implemented several patches to enhance the gameplay experience. These updates include reduced queue times, setting up protections to prevent malicious server attacks, doubling XP progression, introducing custom matches for any player size, and improving server stability. Player feedback remains the driving force behind these updates, and the studio promises even more improvements in the coming weeks.

- Cosmetic Pricing Adjustment: Based on player feedback, cosmetic pricing was reduced shortly after launch to make the store more accessible to all players.
- Server Security and Stability: The team successfully addressed DoS and DDoS attacks that caused random connection drops and login issues by setting up server-side security measures.
- Custom Matches & XP Boost: The latest patch allows players to create custom matches of any player size, and doubles XP progression to speed up player leveling.
