Optimizations for combat, new animations, barbwire sounds, mic calibration, squad names, QoL fixes, and more!
Gameplay Changes
- Optimizations for performance during combat, mostly for shooting, that should help relieve frame dips.
- New animations for all gear (think held equipment, not guns): Hold, activate, walk, sprint, holster, draw
- New kicking animations: New kick animations in third and first person for all different types of holdable objects.
- Barbed wire will now make sounds when players are moving inside the wire for all clients in a limited range
- Fixed incorrect initial health when joining a match already in progress
- Fixed issue with teamkill reprimands not taking action in some cases
- Fixed long standing issue where push to talk is stuck on when window loses focus or pressing during loading screen
- Fixed "VCR bug" caused by server closing due to one team being empty while clients are loading, server now shuts down immediately.
- Shutter button networking was updated to allow for more than one button to control the same shutters and stay in sync.
UI Updates

Extra note:
One of our recent updates have introduced a number of issues with players and items disappearing or being invisible. This makes the whole game feel unreliable at times and we are investigating the situation. We are planning to issue hotfixes as we investigate to improve the situation.
