Let me give the key takeaway(s) from this last post. The Server Test Session went really well from a scale and server standpoint. We have some tuning to do. Pretty straight forward stuff that will be done very soon if not done already. And lastly release date coming very soon!

- Delta-1 errors: These were identified as a potential cause of latency issues, such as players being shot around corners. The team is working on a fix to improve the overall gaming experience.
- Health Bars: The update delay in health bars over player headers and in the death cam gave the impression that bullets were not causing damage. This issue is being addressed to enhance gameplay feedback.
- Matchmaking: The team acknowledged that they were not aggressive enough with matchmaking, resulting in higher pings for players. Changes have been implemented to improve the matchmaking system.
Despite a few issues, the overall response to the XDefiant Server Test was positive, with many gamers enjoying the gameplay experience. It is evident that the development team is working diligently to address any issues that were encountered during the test.
With a release date announcement on the horizon, it is expected that the launch of XDefiant will follow shortly after. Fans are eagerly awaiting further updates and details about the highly anticipated game. Stay tuned for more information in the coming week!
