Online player count
- The title screen and the START GAME screen now show "Online now: N other players" in the bottom-left corner. N is the number of Steam accounts currently running the game, not counting you. It is the same figure as "N playing" on the store page, so it includes people on the title screen, in local matches and in CPU matches.
- On the START GAME screen, the NET rows CUSTOM MATCH, CASUAL MATCH and RANKED MATCH each show how many players are currently waiting or playing in that mode, counted worldwide. The number stays visible even when it is 0, so you can tell at a glance whether a match is likely to fill or whether a CPU match is the better choice right now.
- The per-mode numbers add up to at most the total in the corner (people who are online but not in a lobby are counted only in the total). IP DIRECT is not counted because it does not go through Steam.
- The total refreshes every 30 seconds and the per-mode numbers every 10 seconds while you are on the title or START GAME screen. Nothing is shown if Steam is not running.
Nothing else changed in this update: no changes to rules, items, movement or the replay format. Online matches still work with 1.0.7 clients.
