General Overview of Changes
🤝 Multiplayer & Lobby
See what everyone's doing live — each lobby slot now shows "In Casino", "Playing [Map]", or "Watching WR" above the player.
The casino is now fully separate from race maps — no more ghost players, flickering, or lag when someone's in casino while others race.
Post-race map voting now shows everyone's votes in real time — see who picked what.
New: press [B] after a race to skip the wait and jump straight to map selection (when everyone agrees).
Leaving back to the lobby now cleanly removes your character for everyone (with a smoke puff) and updates the scoreboard.
Players who leave or fully disconnect now vanish from the lobby instantly.
Fixed several visibility bugs — players joining the casino, being moved into a map, or rejoining now show up right away.
Watching a World Record replay no longer risks disconnecting you.
⚡ Powerups
Frozen players now see the world keep moving (platforms, lasers) instead of everything freezing.
EMP Blast now properly drops everyone's held powerup and lights up every player it hits with electric sparks — so you can see exactly who you caught.
Powerup screen effects (Reverse, Ghost, Freeze…) now clear instantly on respawn and when you leave to the lobby — no more stuck overlays.
🎰 Casino
The center slot machine now shows "FREE DAILY PULL" when your daily free spin is ready.
Coinflip: fairer random sides, clearer Join/Decline prompts, cleaner "Challenge cancelled" notice.
Bet wheels now wrap around when you scroll past the top.
🪟 Window & UI
Windowed mode has its title bar back — move, minimize, maximize, close, plus drag-to-top to maximize.
The lap counter no longer hides behind the title bar in windowed mode.
👤 Account
Fixed: playing with your Steam status set to Invisible/Offline no longer drops you to a guest account — your profile and cosmetics load correctly.
