Patch 1.0.11 Notes
Patch 1.0.11 was deployed this morning. This patch has some improvements to networking and host selection as well as badge rewards for leveling up.
We've heard your feedback loud and clear that connection issues are a real pain. This patch contains a number of improvements that we wanted to get live as quickly as possible. That said, we're not done yet. We're still actively working on the networking experience, so you can look forward to seeing even more improvements in the future.
Okay, enough chatter. Here are the actual patch notes:
New Content / Features
- Added three new badges as rewards for reaching level 10, 25, and 50.
- Added a Store button to the main menu.
- Updated the layout of the post game screens to provide more information.
Networking
- Improved host selection when using the Play Now button.
- Reduced message spam when searching for a game.
- Disconnected players' stats now appear in the stats screen.
- Return to the Match Lobby screen if a player drops at character select.
- Game ends instantly if all opponents drop from a ranked game.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue with Kasumi being stuck in carry mode.
- Fixed a bug that could prevent Bjorn's Inescapable Rage achievement from being earned.

FAQs and answers to some questions
Thanks for downloading and playing Rustbucket Rumble! We've got some answers to questions we've been seeing pop up on our Community Hub - see below:
I'm having trouble connecting to a match - is there anything I can do?
If you’re having trouble connecting, make sure UPnP is enabled on your home router.
If you’re still having trouble, try forwarding the port 25000 from your home router interface.
If neither of these solutions helps you, contact our customer service
How does your free-to-play mechanism work?
As you've seen, each week we make 2 of the robots available for you to use. If you've purchased the DLC pack, you can use all 6 robots whenever you want. If you haven't purchased the DLC, you can keep a robot for the next week if you win 10 ranked games.
Can I keep a robot forever as long as I keep winning?
Yes! As long as you win at least 10 ranked games each week with a robot, you get to keep it for the next week - regardless of whether you had it last week or not. In theory, you can keep all 6 robots for forever, as long as you win 10 ranked games each week with each robot!
I hope these address some of your concerns. We are actively reading through all discussions and comments here and want you to know we're making tweaks and updates based on what we're hearing, so thanks for being active!
