Here are all the changes detailed in the Spectre Divide patch notes released on October 8, 2024:

General

• Added experimental servers in Frankfurt for better coverage in Europe

Developer comment:

"We’ll evaluate how often the server is used, and whether it is performing up to our standards before considering this a permanent addition to our region map."

• Added additional fallback functionality to our region detection

Developer comment:

"This should allow you to see more applicable servers if your networking setup is blocking specific ports and connections."

---

Ranked/Casual updates

• Slightly increased the maximum time to find a fair match

Developer comment:

"We constantly adjust these values, but felt it was important to call out the intentional increase given the smaller player population"

---

Map updates

• Skyway – Removed the ability to shoot through the concrete wall from B Site 'Drop' toward Attacker spawn
• Mill – Re-added missing decals in spawn areas

Developer comment:

"These were accidentally removed in a prior patch"

Quality of life

• Performance optimizations to improve framerate stability

1. Further performance improvements to Duality & Puck Throw visual effects
2. Improved optimization of Bloom’s Hex Barrier visual effects
3. Improved optimization of ZEUS’s explosion visual effects

• The standard ‘device destruction’ visual effect for equipment like Morrgen’s Hidden Grasp & Ryker’s Arc Sentry is now less opaque, making it easier to fight through
• Improved localization and translations
• Minor network optimizations that should improve network performance for players on WiFi

---

Bug fixes

• Guns should no longer flicker above other players’ heads when they deploy the Muu Dazzler
• Fixed an issue where the Alchemist weapon set’s liquid chambers had inconsistent physics in the Locker Room
• Fixed a few rare crashes
