It seems you’ve deleted this false claim in most of your posts, but for the benefit of others that might have taken this on board and been mislead, the actual release notes say:
I checked the release notes post history and it was not edited, so this is what it always said.
This text is clear to me, and it says absolutely nothing about base 64 encoding at all. It’s talking about a 64 bit value getting truncated and now they’ve fixed it so it fits. This is a totally normal kind of bug that happens in many systems.
I must admit I was disappointed by the very small patch. I’m hoping like others that we see a much larger improvement in the next patch because this does not look like the work of a large development team as we know Asobo have. I hope that there’s much more bug fixing in flight and its just the lead time to market that means this is a very small patch. For sure if we got this many fixes every week I think it’d be 2026 before this game was in reasonable shape.
