To appease the 1 million+ users who jumped in during its free period last month, Update 5 has arrived to offer up player-hosted servers and matches.

A number of bugs have been squashed along the way, but the band-aid focus is on restoring a backend tracking service that was knocked out cold during the freeplay period. Whether they wanted it or not, Mirage: Arcane Warfare wasn't fully prepared to host those kinds of numbers.
Though it isn't still available to grab without parting ways with your cash, Mirage: Arcane Warfare took a massive pricedrop to atone for its sins. At £6.99 it's a bloody PvP spectacle worth a look.
