Things have been a little rocky for one of the most popular games in the world lately. Just days after developer Epic Games had to remove the Infinity Blade weapon from “Fortnite” after player outrage, the game’s latest weekly patch did not include the new snowboard vehicle as originally planned.

After a minor delay , “Fortnite” updated to version 7.10 on Tuesday morning. The patch is more notable for what it is missing than what it brings; the Driftboard vehicle, which was supposed to come in the patch, has been delayed until further notice .

The most notable change to “Fortnite” in version 7.10 is a new “14 Days of Fortnite” event for the holiday season. Players can log in each morning starting Dec. 19 to play different limited time modes (or LTMs), which will rotate in and out of the lineup throughout the event. Some of them will be brand new and some will be returning favorites.

Other than that, version 7.10 mostly brings balance changes. Stormwing vehicles will now take much more damage from hitting objects and structures, while ground vehicles will slide on ice.
