Changelog

Managed servers, in preview

• New Provision and autoscale game servers on managed cloud capacity straight from the dashboard. No boxes of your own required.
• New Per-network capacity caps so a runaway scale event can't blow your budget.
• Improved Server boot times are down roughly 40% thanks to pre-warmed images.

Live activity feed

• New A real-time activity feed in the dashboard: joins, transfers, punishments and server lifecycle events as they happen.
• Improved Player profiles now show last-seen server and session history at a glance.
• Fixed Online player counts could briefly double-count during a cross-server transfer.

• Fixed Heartbeats from servers behind certain NATs were marked stale too early, causing premature deregistration.
• Fixed Currency reads returned a stale value for a few seconds after a write under heavy load.

Punishments go network-wide

• New Bans, mutes and kicks now apply across every server in a network and survive reconnects.
• New Issue punishments by name even when a player is offline.
• Improved Punishment history is recorded with reason, duration and the moderator who issued it.

Player data namespaces

• New Namespaced key/value data per minigame, so a player's SkyWars stats never collide with their lobby state.
• New Currencies and leaderboards as first-class, read-on-join / write-on-leave primitives.
• Improved Profile reads are cached at the edge, cutting cross-region join latency.

Public beta

• New HiveScale opens to the public. Matchmaking, automatic server registration and cross-server identity behind a single API key.
• New The dashboard ships: create networks, browse servers and players, grab your key.
