Sniper scopes
- Scoped weapons show the world through the lens again instead of an empty circle.
Bots
- Bots no longer get stuck on spawn on Fantasy Arena, Megapolis and Desert Arena.
- Bots stop crowding each other into corners.
Matchmaking
- Everyone now connects to one region (EU), so lobbies fill instead of splitting a small player base four ways.
- The server browser shows the real mode and map, and joining a match in progress works reliably.
- Quick Play filters by the featured map.
Progression
- The end-of-match time bonus was paying 60x too much. It now pays what the scoreboard says.
- Daily Missions and quests grant the XP they advertise, and claims stick.
Combat and HUD
- Cleaner kill feed and kill text, no longer overlapping the kill counter.
- The red damage flash no longer stays on screen after you die.
- Distant players are no longer swallowed by the outline.
Interface
- Inventory shows the correct name and icon for grenades and launchers.
- Reduce Motion now actually reduces camera shake.
- Various shop, inventory and settings fixes.
Download size: 2.0 GB to about 730 MB
- The package carried content no player could reach, and artwork stored far larger than it is ever drawn. Both are gone. No visible difference in game.
Known issue
- On Steam Deck and Linux, the Windows build can crash at startup under Proton's default Vulkan translation. This is not new in this patch. Workaround: launch option PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%, or install the native Linux build.
