Hotfix 436A + New Maps

Update 436A is being pushed out for clients. Maps, hit registration, friends list and matchmaking are the primary focus.

==== MAPS ====

  • This week we are taking out all of our maps, and replacing them with 20 new ones. All old maps will be removed from rotation. This means less maps in the pool, but also only new maps.


==== GAMEPLAY ====

  • Windows, the back of the fan, and freezer shelves can now all be shot out. Glass does not break when you walk into it yet. Some other minor objects also break but not many. Shooting out lights is not yet fully implemented so you cannot shoot out lights.
  • We've changed the way inputs and networking works. Now, you can play the game if you have above 200 ping (before you would just get LAG DETECTED) but you will get some amount of input latency if you are playing outside of 200 ping. This change also majorly affects hit registration, making hit registration much more consistent on players with high ping.
  • Another change to latency prevents ping spikes from pervading your average ping for 20 seconds, and instead resolves this issue immediately.
  • Fix for a bug that caused you to erroneously get kicked during Planning. This is a temporary fix where we stopped kicking players who have not yet loaded the map, so in the case that for some reason you actually do not load the map, there might still be an error.


==== GECNET ====

  • Friends fetching should no longer be blocked by having your friends list set to private!
  • We've changed how the Join In Progress flow works to reduce the amount of messages that are sent when failing a match join because someone else stole the slot you tried to join. We also don't check already full matches which slightly speeds up matchmaking times.
  • Ranked min team size is now only 4, so 4v4s can form in ranked
  • Fix to protect against double queue joins errors when joining a match
  • Fix for telling players about other people who leave squads inside matches
