This update makes it easier to run multiple server instances on a same device, by making config and log files specific to every game thus avoiding the problems of conflicts when running multiple servers on a same PC.
Thanks to this i’ll be able to run multiple official games to accommodate more players.
Besides that, this update focuses on various re-balancing to fix gameplay flaws and exploits.
As with previous updates, this is still monopolizing most of my time and sadly it keeps delaying new features and more interesting updates.
