Mechabellum Hotfix Reverses Unintended Star Expedition Difficulty Spike
Mechabellum is deploying a server hotfix to correct an accidental configuration error that pushed top-tier Star Expedition enemy lineups to all players. The fix requires one hour of server downtime.
A server hotfix for Mechabellum addresses an accidental configuration error from patch 2.0.0.3 that forced extreme Star Expedition difficulty levels onto the general player base.
Difficulty Error Correction
The previous 2.0.0.3 patch mistakenly applied enemy lineups intended exclusively for the top 20 players on the ladder to all participants. This configuration error remained live for approximately 19 hours before developers initiated corrective action.
Maintenance Schedule
Server maintenance lasting roughly one hour implements the fix. Downtime begins at 11:15 AM UTC, 4:15 AM PDT, 7:15 AM EDT, 1:15 PM CEST, and 7:15 PM CST.
Why this patch matters
This hotfix restores intended progression balance to Star Expedition after an accidental ladder-tier difficulty spike.
