A bit of a mish-mash of bug fixes, cleanup and gameplay tweaks this time:

  • Fixed an issue when other players quit the match while you were still loading in, that manifested in a few ways:
    • Sometimes you'd get stuck on the loading screen
    • Sometimes you'd get into the match alone without disconnecting automatically
    • Sometimes you'd be pushed back to the main menu, but with weird lighting and have trouble rejoining the queue
    • Sometimes you'd make it back to the menu, but then when you tried to play again you'd be kicked out of the match, with in-game HUD and lots of other visual craziness

  • Fixed the matchmaker sometimes mixing up which players should go on which team, in particular brand new players getting paired up against players who had played a lot, but had lost a few games recently.
  • Increased torpedo damage from 80 to 125 - it should have no trouble plowing through enemy blockers now!

    • Self-damage also slightly increased from 20 to 25

  • Removed a bunch of old content that's no longer in use, shrinking the install size a bit and hopefully also improving performance a little.
