We have taken the decision to release this patch while waiting for Unity to address an issue with the 2019 version they have, which is causing some unexpected behaviour in places where toggle groups are used. Ie, when a window is closed, the selected item is the latest in the list, and not the one selected, things like not always showing hero's/skins/perks etc, anywhere that uses tabbing/toggling, so we're in their hands while they address that. We don't know what the timescale is atm for them to pull that over into a public build as it's still being tested by them in an Alpha state. It could be tomorrow, it could be in a few months, we just don't know. So, although there may be some things that are a bit irritating, we decided rather than hold up the release any further, we'd release with this as they are not critical game breaking issues.
Optimization
We have focused a lot on optimization for this patch, this has included upgrading to a newer version of Unity (2019.1), and optimizing raycasts on the client.Heroes
