This patch update was quite a large one, and as a result of this, we'll be monitoring any game issues very closely over the next couple of weeks. If needed, we'll patch again quickly for anything broken in the architecture and then if no issues arise, we'll patch on console in the coming weeks (since this process takes longer than than on PC). This is a huge shift in architecture in many areas, meaning we're hoping to see increased performance, but this may also be responsible for some bugs we couldn't account for.
I've written a little more about why this process took a little longer than we would have liked on our blog for those interested here : http://whitepapergames.tumblr.com/post/153295779040/a-patch-note-from-the-team
