Hello!
These are patch notes for the preview branch, not what's currently default. If you're interested in testing this you can join with the password "OPERATIONMAPLELEAF"
Additions:
- Added far superior hit detection system.
- Added new read/write system to allow even larger file sizes and unlimited objects, trees and spawns in the editor.*
- Added all new packet routing system to resolve crazy multiplayer issues.
- Added graphics option for scope quality. (Recommend high.)
- Added temporary lock when a prediction error occurs.
Improvements:
- Added more letters to the valid set.
- Changed hashing to require less performance.
- Players don't show up until they're fully loaded.
Tweaks:
- Increased draw distance of roads significantly.

The hit detection is now way better than it was in the last update, and a big thanks to Gray and Lhyme for being a huge help testing on proper servers!
Unfortunately it's late and I have to go in a minute, but rest assured that the hit detection can only get better as time goes on and that work on pathfinding will begin tomorrow!
*A side effect of the new savedata is that the playerlist on each server has been reset.
Thanks for reading!
