Bug fixes
- Fixed a bug that could make players teleport during shot preparation.
- Fixed a bug that was causing the players to hit the ball without making any contact with it.
- Improvements to the shot selection engine to remove most of the instances of unwanted slice effects. In practice, this should improve the chance of getting the effect asked for during the preparation of the shot.
- Fixed a bug that was penalizing serve returns on the forehand side, resulting in an unnaturally higher number of Aces.
- Fixed a bug regarding the orientation of the players after a shot. They are now correctly facing the court after each shot, making the whole rally look more smooth.
- Fixed a bug with AI movement. The AI will now accurately run towards the ball, notably on dropshots.
- Fixed a bug in the AI that was preventing them from using lobs.
- Improved the choreography when interrupting the serve preparation animation.
- Fixed the missing racket shadow at Quito’s venue.
- Fixed an unwanted halo effect around players during cutscenes.
- Fixed new equipment pictures that were displayed upside down in the reward screen.
