Plus, we have imposed a limit of 50 active auctions per user on the server side. Changelist compared to the previous patch: - Fixed drag & drop ordering of pinch hitters & pinch runners in depth charts - Updated 2019 historical transactions database - PT: Disabled pre-fetching of auction listings in the Auction House, increasing server performance - PT: Fixed rare crash on PT Home Screen when sorting player list Stay safe!
