Wakapedia-CIG: 
Build tonight has been redlit. We are still looking at options but will most likely move this to tomorrow
Weâre also internally testing fixes for RASTAR locations streaming to all clients on the server tonight. Iâm hoping that will work well and make the next EPTU build!

(Wakaâs Day) We are currently cooking a new 4.0 build with many many many optimization improvements including a fix for RASTAR locations streaming to all clients on the server. Hopefully will have a much better build tonight on EPTU!
Zacpreece-CIG:
hello friends, some more cow anim polish coming in next 4.0 build! will have them grazing and should have them moving nicer / smoother!
sc-testing-chat | Wakapedia-CIG: I almost didnât have enough room in a single post for the release notes today
No guardian
sc-testing-chat | Wakapedia-CIG: We have less than 30 minutes now!
For 4.0, we have removed the âExtended Viewâ option in the MFD screen and replaced it with a third tab which is called âEnable Advanced HUDâ. That HUD however is not yet ready and is WIP so wonât show anything.

(Thorâs Day) We are currently cooking a new 4.0 build with more performance and RASTAR streaming updates for a possible EPTU publish later today
Wakapedia-CIG:
Todayâs EPTU release goal will have a new Mesh Configuration: 3:3:500 (3 Servers in Stanton, 3 Servers in Pyro, 500 players total on the mesh) if this proves unstable we will lower the total count but should be better than previous builds
The rastar streaming update yesterday had a noticeable improvement on that side. Todayâs build will update that even further
