Patch Notes
- NEW: Added 'Stuff Block' mechanic! While standing at the net, deflecting a disc will send it straight back to your opponent's side of the court. They must slide to retrieve it before it hits the ground.
- NEW: Catch collision algorithms have been revamped. The new calculations are much more responsive and include different hitboxes for standing, charging up, and sliding. This should help everyone's throw timing considerably since the visuals and timing of the catch now match up more closely. This should also reduce some network desync artifacts.
- NEW: If playing windowed, the Disc Jam window will now be brought to the front when a match is found.
- TWEAKED: Throws that are going to skip along the wall are now tilted considerably. This is an effort to make it more clear when the disc will skip vs bounce.
- TWEAKED: Deep lobs now travel faster.
- TWEAKED: Deflecting a fast/perfect/super throw is now more of a penalty and will often require a quick slide to recover the disc.
- FIXED: Squashed bug where the disc could disappear while players were battling it out at the net.
- FIXED: Rare desync that could occur where one player sees the disc bounce and the other sees it skip along the wall.
- FIXED: Only one teammate can charge up at a time.
- FIXED: The player that is charging up is always the one guaranteed to catch the disc.
- FIXED: Players can no longer pass to a teammate while they've been knocked down.
- FIXED: Players can no longer catch a falling disc while they've been knocked down.
- FIXED: Disc now spins in the correct direction for all throws.
