1.1.1 Matchmaking issues

[Akanoes 538]

Everyone here at CIG is painfully aware of the Matchmaking issues players are currently experiencing with the new 1.1.1 patch.
Both DevOps and the Server Engineering team have been looking at these issues for the last 2hrs.

Unfortunately, we can not point to anything that could readily fix this issue tonight.
We will continue to look at this tomorrow, throughout the weekend, and if we have not resolved it, next week as well.

Current issues players are seeing:
-Black screens on the Lobby window
-Invalid Ship Selection errors
-Inability to match into a game
-Lag in the Lobby window

Thank you so much for your continued patience as we work through these issues. I know it has been a rough couple of weeks on the service.
We really are working to rebuild the underlying infrastructure as quickly as we can.
