Special note on FLEX
We feel we are close to returning FLEX functionality to the game. We are keeping a close eye on performance and crashes related to it. We have turned FLEX off completely for this build as in the process of fully testing a new build of this functionality and it was not ready for this release.
Special note on Versus Survival
Our internal testing focused mostly on human teams around the same level (1’s, 12’s and 25’s)
