April 2025 Patch Notes
These notes are for the test build on the "live" client (which is the client for pre-testing before patch comes to the main Playtest client) - we expect that some things will change by the time it makes it to Playtest.
NOTE: Server Browser servers with "Playtest" in the name are not compatible with the testing version. Use Custom Games for online play for now.

-New menu screens
-New game mode that we are prototyping - Track. This mode is meant to provide a fun place for offline (currently) and future potential online play. It’s playable in practice mode
-Return of Rabbit mode

-Made a pass at fixing the longstanding deadstop bug which we expect solved the issue. Please report instances of any deadstop continuing to occur.
Servers

UI
-Wholly new UI for the out-of-match experience
