I'd like to thank the people that joined us over the course of the night, and also say that the game is doing better. I can't in good conscience call it fixed, but I can say this:
- over the course of over two dozen custom games, we had two, maybe three that were buggy
- spending a few hours in matchmaking, things were a lot rougher than in customs, but we were split up maybe one third of the time as opposed to 60-70% of the time last week
- the party lead switch happened significantly less than half the time in matchmaking and not once in customs
- we encountered the glitch where matchmaking refused to start that I've been told is very common, and that was probably about 35-40% of the time; switching party lead seemed to fix it every time
- game chat didn't want to work at first so I started a party and we stuck with that for the rest of the night, so I don't know how well voice chat is doing
- the game only crashed once, maybe twice over the span of 4-5 hours
- overall it significantly and consistently performed better tonight (and for me the last two days) than it did before
