Patch - 3

[p]Hi everyone![/p][p] This week's patch is here!  This patch is focused on improving performance, especially around networking.  We reworked the way the network messages are sent to reduce the CPU cost and size of the messages.  There was a general pass on over all performance and we took care of a few big issues.  There’s still a lot to improve on too. [/p][p][/p][p]Next week's updates will be focused on improving the mission and objective system to make it more robust.  We’ll be continuing to fix bugs and improve performance too.  Thanks for playing and for all the bug reports!  It has really helped us track down and fix problems quickly.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Known issues:[/p]
  • [p]Only the first 100 lobbies will appear in the server browser[/p]
  • [p]Issue dragging the first rocket round into the slot will not work.  Pressing “R” does.[/p]
  • [p]The shotgun only reloads one shell when pressing “R”.  You can reload through the Inventory menu.[/p]
