Due Process News

This is a small technical update with a few changes. The update is mostly to keep the cadence with our weekly updates and to make sure the maps will be out and ready for the following weekend.

We are still hard at work on our next big update, feel free to check out the roadmap and look at some of the stuff that's currently in progress, like our progression & customization system, performance, bomb gameplay update, and new map tileset.

[h2]Changes:[/h2]

• Backend change to "auto-queueing", it will be disabled for now
  
• Enemy healthbars are now visible on the "End of Round" phase, which allows you to see their remaining health while waiting for the next round to start

• Slight adjustment to third person head position
  
• Minor adjustment to an existing map
  
• Fixed error found in client reported logging
  

The weekly map drop is available for new matches. Enjoy some screenshots taken from this week's maps!
