For starters, “Eternal Soldier” sounds so much better than “Prologue” so I’m happy with this change; also, I think these antagonist buffs are neat and should make a much more fun experience. I’m cannot say for sure until I spend more time with it before I can give my full opinion, thank you MercurySteam for your hard work, and thank you Karen for keeping us updated.

Your patch has completely blocked me from playing raiders. Servers keep dropping me for no reason. I'm very unimpressed. As is, it takes far too long to find a game. Anyone else hav e the same problem?

Hi Chokabloc,

Can you please send a message to raiders_support@mercurysteam.com telling us the platform where you play and your user/id. If you play on Steam, please, specify also your hardware configuration.

Thank you!

Xbox One player here, ever since patch, connection to MS servers either times out or cannot connect.
Multiple fellow raiders on XB1 have mentioned the same issue.
Please help!

Ditto... I am on Xbox One and it lets me connect very briefly after multiple attempts and then boots me. This essentially makes the game unplayable even in Solo. This has happened roughly since the hotfix and persisted with the patch I believe. This has happened before I believe it was... two updates back if I'm not mistaken. So just a guess... probably the same thing causing it this time as well.

Same here. Xbox One player, one good match before repeated punts from MercurySteam servers, unable to play a second match.
