Shots land where you aim

Fixed the third-person aim: the shot now hits exactly what's under your crosshair, instead of quietly missing by a body's width at range.
Shooting down at crouched hiders — kind of the whole point of the mode — no longer gets rejected by the server. Dead-on aim is a hit now.
Ammo is unlimited by default. The host can still set a limit in match settings.

Everyone sees the splash

Landing a shot bursts paint-colored cubes out of the surface you hit — and that splash is now visible to every player in the match, not just the shooter. Hiders, you'll know when someone near you gets tagged.

The gun forge, fixed

The forge now runs every round — no more detached, floating gun from round 2 onward.
The gun you painted reliably reaches every other player, instead of sometimes showing up in their hands as a tiny stub.
Paint no longer silently drops while you're decorating your gun or body, and players who join mid-session see everyone's paint and skin correctly.

Rejoin polish

Coming back after a drop reliably returns your round and your standing body.
Joining right as roles are being assigned now deals you into the round instead of benching you until the next one.

Coming next: a start countdown the host can cancel, and an in-game Steam friends panel. Keep the bug 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An out-of-date client cannot join.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…
