Several scoring bugs reported by players, all fixed:
Partnership scoring now uses the combined team contract. Previously each seat was scored against its own bid and the two summed. If you bid 3 and made 4 while your partner was set on 1, you'd score 21 — the correct result is 40. Both partners' bids now combine into one contract, as Spades is actually played.
Bags now count. Overtricks accumulate and cost −100 points once your side reaches ten, which the rules described but the game never applied. Overtricks used to be free.
Blind Nil is finally blind. The Blind Nil offer appeared after your hand was dealt face-up, so you could take a ±200 bet knowing exactly what you held. Your hand now stays sealed until you decline.
Play as teams or individually. A 4-player table now asks which you'd prefer before the first deal.
Seat readouts show the team contract. Your plate leads with your side's combined bid and tricks, with your own contribution below — so a plate can no longer read "made" while your team is set.
5-player games are playable again. The auction could never complete at five seats, so the kitty went nowhere and the deal fell apart.
The bidding side scored nothing, at every player count. Fixed.
The bid ladder started 20 too low, which could lock a human player out of the auction.
The Jack of Diamonds partner now exists. Every hand had been scored with the picker playing alone against four defenders, needing 61 of 120 points single-handed. Partnerships now resolve properly, with standard stakes.
Going alone no longer asks you to discard when your partner ordered you up
Elevator's turned-up card renders correctly, and No Trump displays properly on the top floor
Bid bubbles persist, live bids update, and the deal animation no longer swallows clicks
Invite friends directly, with an "Invited" panel showing who's accepted
Join a friend's game from the setup screen
Whose turn it is now shows at a networked table for everyone, naming what they're doing
The host chooses what happens when someone drops — bot takes over, wait, or end the game
Host promotion works when the host leaves
Everyone at the table now hears the same banter
Fixed: a remote player could pass a Joker on the round Diamonds bars it
Controls help on Select (or F1) from any screen
B is a Back button again on controllers
Shoulder buttons cycle fields in every dialog, not just some
Previously unused buttons assigned: L2 scoreboard, R3 rules, L3 hand help, right stick scrolls
WASD works alongside the arrow keys
Credits and Legal pages are reachable by pad instead of mouse-only
Fixed crashes on the splash screen and a hang that could spin after leaving a table
Bot names now appear in the table log during multiplayer instead of "P3"
