Climbing, reworked

The tilted surface crawl is gone — you now stick to walls upright and climb with proper controls, with on-screen prompts showing your options while you cling. Tell us how it feels!

The forge works past round 1

Gun painting now works in round 2 and beyond — the gun stays paintable while forging.
The round reset no longer slams the forge shut while you're still decorating.
Fixed guns briefly showing up wrong or empty for other players after forging.

Better spawns, better joins

The server now validates every spawn spot — no more popping into walls or weird offsets at round start.
Joining is more resilient: stale lobbies get cleaned up, dropped relay connections retry, and when a join fails you get told why.
The loading screen now holds until your body and role actually exist — no more arriving in a round before you're really there.

Polish

The pose wheel can't open before you've spawned, and build panels stay inside the screen.
Performance cleanup: removed a hidden logging flood that could cost frames in busy matches.

Known issue: voice chat doesn't work while in the lobby room (match voice is fine) — fix is in progress. Keep the reports coming!

An out-of-date client cannot join. This one matters more than usual: a mismatched player's lowered body would be treated as standing by the server while they believed they were hidden, so shots would land where neither player expected. Restart Steam and update. ⌨️ Crouch is gone, and prone has changed hands We shipped crouch two days ago. I…
