Do the developers read the forum? Would like to get at least some information from them.
It is obvious that everything is bad and something should be done about it, otherwise there is no point. 1-2 more patches and the game will finally die on macOS.
Forum posts aren't likely to motivate a solution. You need to submit a bug report. I don't have the link handy, but if you poke around you'll find it. I think one of the Reddit posts about this had links. You can also email directly, but again I don't have the address handy.
Regardless, I agree with the spirit of your follow up. This was clearly broken early Thursday and it just stayed like that all the way through to the weekend. A rollback of hotfix #21 would have been the prudent course of action.
EDIT: I think this is the link to submit bug reports
