Hello shoppers! A new patch is live that hopes to address networking issues some players are having.Microphone & Voice Chat: We have added in a fix that should address this for players who were experiencing voice chat issues. This issue would occur when you could not hear your teammates or they could not hear you despite microphone settings being correct.Joining and Hosting Lobbies: Some players were experiencing an issue where they could not join or host lobbies. Sometimes an error would occur that would state: "The match you are trying to join is running an incompatible version of the game."
