Platform and matchmaking
The launch FAQ covers the PC release, console controller support, and cross-platform matchmaking. Players can build a party around the platform they already use instead of treating the hub as a single-device game.
- Use cross-platform matchmaking when the squad plays across devices.
- Check the party leader's region before comparing queue times.
- Keep controller and input troubleshooting separate from network troubleshooting.
Server regions
The launch reference lists China, the United States, Germany, Singapore, and Brazil as server locations. Region affects latency, queue experience, and how a squad should diagnose a connection problem.
- Use the closest available region for a first performance baseline.
- Compare rubber-banding with frame time before changing graphics settings.
- Check current service status when every player in the party sees the same issue.
PC baseline
Start from the published minimum and recommended PC specifications, then test frame pacing in a real match rather than an empty camp. Readable combat is the target, not only a high menu FPS number.
- Install on an SSD and allow shader work to settle.
- Test effects and shadows before lowering texture quality.
- Recheck after a major performance update.
