The Tech Test allowed us to identify this issue early, and we’ll continue to make improvements based on that player data and feedback. Our data also showed that certain GPU models that are slightly older were experiencing worse performance than they should have been getting. Additionally, we found some fun bugs related to AI and economy exploits. We were able to test over 1,400 different processors and video cards across different hardware setups, and we found and fixed several crashes related to configurations, rendering and game mechanics.

Our average gameplay latency or matchmaking times were both lower than our targets, and we continue to look at ways to improve both. We had 4x our estimated players and we had no server issues. On all counts, this test was extremely successful for our team.

Test client and server-side maintenance and patching.

Optimize the game by discovering and reducing crashes and bugs.

Test wider array of different PC setups, hardware and software compatibility, and game client stability.

Test matchmaking queues and how they worked individually.

This includes things like match performance, player logins and overall matchmaking.

Test server load and overall stability.So, what did we want to accomplish with this test? And did we achieve those objectives?
