It was a 400 KB file hotfix without server downtime. RoS autogrant probably requires server downtime and they don’t want that smoke at this time.
Yep it always seems, to the cynical, that the fixes that make things harder/worse for players make the hotfix over the good things. Well not so here, thanks a lot!
Did you have to be on a "nice" list to get the hotfix? Just logged in, same incapacitated agents as I had yesterday morning. NVM: I should read the MOTD when I log in! logged back in with patch this time, and it worked. Thanks, all (and devs!)
