Good news everyone!

On July 29th and 30th @ 4:00AM - 7:00AM (UTC), an Unrailed! tournament is being organized by @Sim17 from Discord
This time, it is very easy to participate:
- You need the game “Unrailed!”, a discord account and a teammate(alternative) to join.
- If you have some trouble with finding a teammate or you’re pretty confident with your skill, you can also join the tournament yourself and cooperate with the robot.
- No streaming and any other complicated things, just join and have fun. (You can stream anywhere you like if you want to share your play, just remember to hide the session ID of the lobby

Hello everyone :)

Thank you for all the feedback with the last update. We just pushed a small patch fixing issues that appeared with the last update:

- Bug fix: Some players saw a being banned message even though they were not on the global block list
- Bug fix: Sometimes players did not get correctly kicked or blocked from a running session
- Crash fix: Occurring when being blocked during a session

Dear track building community,

we recently pushed pushed some changes around the kick/ban system but we noticed some bugs as well as occasional accidental blockings of friends. Therefore we tried to overhaul it a bit. Here is an overview:

- You can kick via [ESC]->[Manage Players]

- The host kicks instantly. Non-master players can majority vote-kick. Kicked players will be thrown out of a session.

- When kicking, you'll be asked whether you want to block the player as well. If you are host and blocked a player, the player won't be able to join any your sessions anymore (that is why you don't want to block your friends). You can unblock players in the main menu under [ESC]->[Blocked Players].

- Additionally, we have now the possibility to issue global blocks ("bans"). Banned players will automatically be blocked from every session if the host did not un-block the player via the block list locally. That means if you're banned, you can still play with your friends online if you ask them to un-block you. However, random matchmaking will be disabled.
We want to ban players who actively try to sabotage other matches. We decide on evidence (eg replays) from Discord and we count all (locally) issued blocks as well. In any case, if you're banned, feel free to reach out to us
UPDATE: The comments showed that the previous phrasing was very unclear. We only issue bans if we hear from many many players complains about someone actively griefing and have enough evidence to verify that. Bans are manually issued by us. They are NOT issued automatically and NOT issued pre-emptively. Bans are also not forever, we can easily unban if you reach out to us. In fact, we'd love to see everyone rehabilitated! Bans can be considered as are last resort for extreme cases to protect the community. It's a feature that has been wished many times.



We are going to ban some players right away and hope that less players are motivated to grief in general.

Thank you for your support and happy trackbuilding!

Changelog:
- New: You'll be notified when you're banned
- Improvement: Kicked players no longer get added to block list automatically. Instead, a popup appears to ask whether you want to block the player as well.
- Improvement: The block list now indicates which blocks are global blocks
- Fix: Player flickering when in block list
- Fix: Lost achievement reachable in shop
- Fix: (Hopefully) Controller remapping can no longer unbind movement stick
- Fix: Invite friends option reappeared in lobby
- Fix: Crash dumper sometimes having issues
- Neat: You can add replayfps [fps] to you setting file to improve replay quality. Note that this will prevent you from uploading you replays to the highscore!

Oh and completely unrelated: Did you know that you can change the camera in the replays since our very old versions? We added a small documentation here: https://unrailed-wiki.com/page/Replay

Beloved railroad engineers,

on the experimental branch, we pushed some fixes around the kick/ban feature. Some of you accidentally banned friends and sometimes the block did not correctly work.

The idea is the following:
- You can kick as before but kicked players can join again if they want.
- When kicking, you'll be asked whether you want to block the player as well. If the host blocked the player, the player will never be able to join any session of the host again. You can unblock in the main menu under "Blocked Players".
- Additionally, we can issue global blocks ("bans"). Banned players will be automatically blocked from every session if the host did not un-ban the player via the block list locally.
