This update addresses several bugs and adds new gameplay changes to various game worlds, and features requested by the community.
Anti-Harassment Improvements
Players now properly fade out while you are in casino seats. We also hide flashlights of other players while you are in a game activity to combat harassment. We also went through every single wearable in the game to ensure they will all fade out properly so players cannot block your view while you are in games.
Poker Improvements/Fixes
Texas Hold 'Em has improved UI and major bug fixes. The game no longer gets stuck when a player leaves mid-game. We also added key binds for Call/Check, Raise, and Fold.
Player Management Popups
You can now click on players within the scoreboard and chat and quickly have options to mute, block, block player model, and report players. We also have quick options for giving player condo permissions to make coop condo building more accessible.
Casino Phase 2
We have been hard at work on Casino Phase 2. We hope to have more details about Casino Phase 2 soon! Track its status here: https://trello.com/c/YiTB5XHZ/557-casino-phase-2
