Today we are introducing a heartbeat feature. In short, it solves the problem of having non existent players still showing as active players in rooms. This could happen when a connection is lost due to an interrupted internet connection. The heartbeat message will let the server know when a player is inactive. So no more waiting 15 minutes for stale clients to be removed. This change will be mostly invisible to the game developer. The difference is now disconnected player will be removed in about 2 minutes.
