Spectrum MOTD:
(Tuesday) We are currently working on a new 4.0.1 build and targeting a release to PTU later today.
We are also working on a DGS hotfix for 4.0_PREVIEW with multiple deadlock fixes. This will roll out throughout today.
SC-Testing-Chat - Wakapedia-CIG:
The DGS hotfix has already started rolling out to servers on 4.0 but will take time to propagate. As servers hit the crash they will be replaced with the hotfix.
Depends on how crashy they are. This only fixes a couple crashes so if it doesnât hit that crash for a long time then good! If it does then also good cause it will come back with the fix!
