      • Changed idle sand clumps to lock rotation, so the sand falling isn't influenced by camera position
      • Changed camera depth bias for idle clouds to 5 instead of 10, so that it doesn't occlude player model at unintended angles
  • Updated the Sizzling Unusual effect
    • Changed sequence random value from 4 to 3, in order to prevent steam sprites from spinning rapidly at random

    • Adjusted the playerclip around the BLU battlement's painting depicting the RED village on fire to more effectively prevent players from getting caught on the edge along the wall
