Emergency Server Patch
Dear operators,
We noticed in the previous version of the game it is only able to show a limited number of online lobbies, this results in a significant amount of lobbies being left undiscovered in the server listing. We have uploaded an emergency server patch to fix this issue.
We are terribly sorry for the bad experience.
