Hello Bam Bam Boomers!
We did an oopsie last patch, we sowwy.... these things happen on games that are on active development and have restless developers. In short, rendering was accidentally happening twice. It's now being resolved among with other things so performance should be double(TM).
Other notable changes/additions:
Layout managing on binding has been fixed
You can now set a preferred layout to autoselect
Spectators also be able to join the match fixed
Performance update from different methods of vfx caching (some may still occure a spike, we investigating)
Some background tasks are now split into multiple frames so more performance gain from less busy frames
Slopes are removed from Trunk stage atm
