Hello Heroes! :D

We hope you are having a good time with the game. We've heard that some of you find it hard to navigate the server browser and find a good game. So we made a Quick Play system that should (hopefully) put you in a suitable game with some players and decent ping. It's still experimental, so it might not work too great yet. We'll keep tweaking it though.

We've also got some other bug fixes and tweaks for you in this one. :)

Cheers!

New:
-experimental Quick Play system
-stats should now be saved when going back to the main menu (kick/ban of any kind and manual leave) (losing connection does not save stats yet)

Bug fixes and improvements:
-added local character customization pre-loading to fix visible customization loading on high ping servers
-fixed votekick menu entry UI
-fixed plane machinegun sound not adhering to volume control
-fixed camera offset when spawning on high ping servers
-motorcycle death from exiting should be fixed (if not, let us know in the discord with further info and or recorded footage)

Balance tweaks:
-reduced trooper self heal from Field Medic skill from 45-65 (1-3 surrounding players) to 35-55
-increased knife attack speed from 0.65 cooldown -> 0.6
-increased scoped semi auto reload speed from 2.5 reload time -> 2.4
-slightly decreased semi auto firerate from 0.322 cooldown -> 0.325
-increased short range MG firerate from 0.085 cooldown -> 0.081
-increased mid range MG firerate from 0.105 cooldown -> 0.102
-increased far range MG firerate from 0.165 cooldown -> 0.162
