When did Plagues map get updated?

I don't see any patch notes about it. I played today on a very clearly reworked version of Plagues map. It was MUCH smaller. First time ever playing there.

Not only am I confused about that but I don't feel like the Huntress version has been reworked has it? That map still feels huge.

    I am confused. I've NEVER played on this map even one time and its been out that long? Today it looked totally different and it was very noticeably smaller.

    It even had setups I don't remember. Like that weird upstairs area. It used to just be a drop but now there is a vault up there to make that a god tier balanced landing spot .

    I mean, we have so many maps in this game nowadays, it could be possible that you never played on this map.

    Regarding the upstairs area - I never went there since the Update, but back then it could also spawn with a vault. It was either a drop or a vault. (Not that it matters that much IMO since it is only useable with Balanced Landing and even Balanced Landing can be used in other areas on that map, so there is no need to be ever up there)

    That drop/window can spawn randomly in the main building and has been there forever, even before the map got made smaller.

    Well I remember it being that way too. It looks outstanding with Balanced now. However, it does look useable now without because you could baitt the killer into coming too close to the vault. The "hall" seems longer than I remember it to be.

    I don't get it at all. Unless the engine update makes this map in particular look different. For some reason the size stood out to me very much.

    I instantly thought of the new auto map. Which for me feels like a really small decently killer sided map if the survivors waste pallets.

    It's truly weird because I also had a survivor match on the Huntress map and I didn't notice it looking different….meanwhile Plagues looks massively different to me.

    Before the change. When a vault appeared there. Wasn't it like a laughably bad vault though? Like it competes with that one vault on the Saw map that you dang near NEVER see used. IIRC on this vault the killer had zero reason to try to catch you prior to going over because doubling back to meet you on the other side would only take like 1 second.
