[h2]Bug Fixes and Improvements[/h2]
[Netcode Improvements] Following recent netcode improvements, we have completed additional stability testing and have further enhanced the system to allow other packets to be batch processed for transmission. As a result, packets are now transmitted precisely in sync with server frames, which is expected to reduce network overhead caused by excessive packet processing.
Additional netcode optimizations are planned, such as server frame improvements and latency compensation. We are committed to providing a better gameplay experience.
Due to an unforeseen issue, this part of the update was rolled back and has been postponed.
Fixed an issue with certain scopes when equipped on the Combat Crossbow
Fixed an issue that caused the owner's call sign to not be displayed during initial replay playback
