Over at the Shadowrun Forums some details were released regarding the patch which will be patching up Shadowrun hopefully this week.
13) Implemented improvements to matchmaking. We expect a 200-300% improvement in wait times. 14) Improved sync times.

Parties should be split less now. 16) You may now use the artifact to clear bodies in Attrition. 17) Fixed some potential exploit issues. No, we’re not going to elaborate on this.- General 20) Fixed a problem with the Unstoppable achievement. And there was much rejoicing. 22) Players won’t get kicked for inactivity if they’re still in the lobby when the game starts. 23) You should be less likely to cycle to a small version of a map if you have a lot of players. 25) You should get clearer feedback when attempting to join a full game via the guide. 26) Changed some of the achievement descriptions to make goals clearer. 27) Dwarf hint text is now correct. (They CAN be unawared - just not headshotted.)
