In-game text chat: Press Enter to message players in your session. Includes history, scrollback, an option to hide the feed, and improved name sizing.
Password-protected private games: Hosts can choose Public or Private. Protected games display a lock icon and require a password to join.
Server browser improvements: The browser now defaults to Joinable. In the All filter, returned unavailable games are dimmed and cannot be joined.
Disable Weapon FX setting: Added an optional graphics setting that suppresses muzzle flashes, lighting, smoke, and ejected weapon debris. Sounds, animations, tracers, and impacts remain unchanged. Off by default.
Safer Sacrifice: After a 0.9-second vulnerable startup, the active extraction gains protection against ordinary damage. Also fixed an interruption-related startup issue. Rats and rewards still bank only upon successful arrival.
Cream Machine prompts: Clearer use and reroll instructions, remaining-reroll counts that disappear at zero, and a separate input for each roll to prevent accidental spending. Prompts are now centered above the wager box.
Barricade repair: Hold Interact to repair nearby damaged barricades while looking away, moving, shooting, or using melee. Repair stays attached to the original barricade and stops on release or when fully repaired.
Clearer revive prompts: Nearby downed teammates show “Revive Player.” The input glyph and “Hold to revive” appear when you are aimed at them, within range, and ready to revive.
