This one might be a bit controversial, as there are quite a few changes to both the stick feel and player movement. Be assured though, they are all made with competitive play in mind.
Here's what's changed:
- Added additional colliders for both Blue and Red goals so players can no longer be pushed inside and get stuck
- Added additional server logs to track player progress during phase changes
- Converted all Rigidbodies to Speculative collision detection (this will solve the puck seemingly passing through stick & leg pads at high speed)
- Reworked stick ray logic which now makes the stick more accurate when sliding, also extending it's reach
- Reworked stick -> board collision logic
- Reworked all player colliders which is especially important for goalies, making saving shots easier
- Reworked puck collider to be less rounded, hopefully improving shooting accuracy
- Reduced collider poly count massively by separating & simplifying collider models
- Reduced bounciness of boards by 50%
- Reduced base turn speed and slide turn speed to midpoint between last update and current
- Reduced drag and weight of the puck to midpoint between last update and current
- Increased stamina drain while sprinting
- Increased sprint acceleration
- Server name & player count is now visible in the scoreboard
- Your local player will be shown in a lighter team color in the minimap instead of white
- Standardized all team colors in the UI
- Remove restriction on special letters from chat (such as cryllic, and other language specific letters)
- Set chat input limit to 128 characters
- Adjusted physical goal frame colors to match UI color scheme
- Minimap will now always render the puck on top the players
- Added `/vs`, `/vw` and `/vk` shortcuts for chat commands
- Fixed all remaining memory leaks
- Fixed an issue where self-hosting a Puck server would not allow LAN connections to join
- Fixed issue with 8888 port being taken by Fanatec (and other) apps, therefore server browser was unavailable
- Fixed a few errors in the server browser causing some servers to not show up
- Fixed a `/votekick` exploit where players could rejoin the server to cast additional votes (now votes are unique by Steam ID)
- Fixed an issue where the player score in the scoreboard would not be cleared when starting a new game with `/votestart`
- Fixed a bug where pucks wouldn't spawn in practice mode sometimes
- Fixed an issue where pressing T while entering a server password would open the chat
- Artificially increased visual representation of global stick sensitivity to make transition from last update less jarring
