Hey everyone, solo dev here! Just pushed a new update that integrates active player count metrics directly from Steam and cleans up some menu labels:
- Steam Active Player Counter: Added a dynamic online player counter right below the title header on the Main Menu and under your name in the Multiplayer Selection Menu. This shows you exactly how many players globally have the game open in real-time.
- Smart Polling Loop: The counter updates automatically every 30 seconds while you sit in the menus. To keep singleplayer and multiplayer matches fast and lag-free, all network polling immediately pauses as soon as a match starts and resumes the instant you return to the menu.
- Matchmaking Menu Polish: Removed the legacy (BETA) tag from the Multiplayer button on the main menu to mark the system's full, stable release.
