This update fixes several bugs from the last update, along with addressing disconnect issues.
Addressing Disconnects
Last year we pushed a bug fix for issues with billiards, arcade, and other games where game objects would seemingly not spawn. We did this by correcting a race condition we found in Unreal's net driver. Due to the disconnects people are experiencing though we've decided to temporarily remove this fix, as it is possible the issues are related.
If the disconnects continue, then we'll know it's not related to our net driver changes and we can re-apply the fix. If the disconnect issues stop, then we at least have some idea of where they're likely coming from.
We appreciate everyone's patience while we get to the bottom of this issue, and will let everyone know as soon as we have a better understanding of what's happening. In the meantime this means that you may experience the previous bugs with billiards, arcade, and so on.
