Update 28: Free Weekend + Bugfixes + Spawn Protection and Votekick adjustments

I am happy to announce that Perfect Heist 2 will be free to play for all players from Friday (March 31st, 10AM PST) to Monday (April 3rd, 10AM PST) in one of Steams Free Weekend events and the game will also be on sale in this time period!

This update adds multiple improvements to the game, starting with changes to the spawn protection for cops. To prevent them from getting spawn camped by the robber team, they now have an extended period of spawn protection if they stay nearby their cop car. Spawn protection in general now should be easier to understand, with a brand-new particle effect surrounding invulnerable players, and a small UI hint notifying players that their spawn protection is currently active.

Player vote kicks have been used very frequently in the past, even if there wasn't a clear majority to kick a cheating or griefing player. Starting with this patch, there will be a 5-minute cooldown period after starting a votekick, which gets reset immediately if the vote was successful.

To improve the experience for players of all skill levels, there will now be special "New Players" and "Experienced Players" official servers, which only allow players of a certain experience level to even out the playing field and allow for more fun experiences for everyone. Servers that fit your experience level are now highlighted in the server browser, making them stand out and easily accessible for newer players. There will of course still be unrestricted official servers as well, where you can play with and against all other players!

There are also other minor improvements to the game as well as lots of bugfixes in this update, as always, you can take a look at them in the full changelog below!
