[p]Hello everyone! [/p][p]This report outlines the recent improvements, features, and bug fixes implemented since our last update.[/p][p][/p][h3]World & Environment[/h3]

• [p]The Park Overhaul: We have transitioned the "Park" area away from standard terrain. It is being reshaped into a dedicated interactive playground. This space will feature mini-challenges to keep you engaged while waiting for friends or queuing for matches.[/p]

[h3]Technical Improvements[/h3]

• [p]DLSS Stability: We have addressed the "jitter" issues associated with DLSS. While most instances are resolved, players may still encounter minor jitter in specific areas. We are continuing to monitor this and expect a full fix shortly.[/p]
• [p]Animation Refinement: Several minor animation glitches have been resolved. We are aware of a small visual anomaly that occurs immediately upon joining a server and have scheduled a fix for an upcoming patch.[/p]

[h3]UI & Gameplay[/h3]

• [p]New Voting Menu: A redesigned Voting UI is now live.[/p]
  • [p]Active votes are displayed at the top of the screen.[/p]
  • [p]New hotkeys allow you to quickly cast your vote or opt out of a match if you’d prefer to stay in the lobby to browse the store or customize your skins.[/p]

[h3]Coming Soon[/h3]

• [p]Customization: The Cosmetics Store and Player Changing Rooms are currently undergoing internal testing. Once we’ve confirmed stability, we will move forward with the full implementation.[/p]
