Please Note: As part of updating to this latest build, any saved games and observable matches made on previous builds will be unable to be loaded or replayed.

UX/UI & Menus (Console)

• The “UI Narration” setting no longer resets to default after relaunching the game. If you’re disabling the narrator, you should only have to do so once now.
  
• Fixed an issue where several in-game settings would reset to default after launching the game in offline mode.

General Changes & Bugfixes

• Introduced fixes for two of our top crashes to improve stability, including:
  
  • Fixed an issue that caused the game to crash when accessing old Match History.
    
  • Fixed an issue that could lead to a crash on launch.
• Fixed an issue where some map textures were missing or showing up incorrectly on certain maps and biomes on Xbox One consoles.
