Hot Fix & Updated Engine (0.16.9.1)

This update addresses several bugs from the new update including new items and features.

Engine Upgrade From 4.20 to 4.21

As part of our ongoing commitment to improve the game and offer the best experience to our player base we have upgraded the version of Unreal the game runs on from 4.20 to 4.21. Just like previous engine upgrades, effects may not be immediately visible to players, as many of the changes are fixes for engine bugs (which we frequently have to work around), improvements for build times (which lets us test changes faster), new features and tools for us to use when developing new portions of the game, and engine optimizations which may be more impactful for some users than others. Essentially, expect engine upgrades to pay dividends over time rather than up front, especially as this is a step to later engine versions which have other features and fixes which may be more immediately impactful for everyone.

This engine update required us to rebuild lighting on the majority of our maps, which will cause this update to be a larger download than usual updates. We apologize for the inconvenience, but there was no way around it (unless you wanted to see broken lighting in the game).
