Hello,
Today the server will be restarted for update at 11:00 UTC. We dont expect the downtime to be longer than ten minutes or so.
The highlight of this release is the revamped matchmaking system which includes a new and hopefully improved matchmaking algorithm. To enable the new algorithm, the matchmaker now runs on a time based schedule which adjusts depending on how many people are queued. Players who are further to the front of the queue will have higher priority during the matchmaking system, and players who are not matched during one round will naturally move up in the next one.
Other noteworthy changes:
- The server now sends a deprecation warning to unofficial clients on login
- Fixed an error when liking mods that don’t have a thumbnail

Thanks to Askaholic for the server work!
Have a nice day
