Whew, a lot of time went into this one but believe me it was well worth it! Not only does this patch kill off the last remaining known-bugs so far, it also adds new enhancements to gameplay!
For starters, I’ve enabled the /map command on servers now so you can play on different levels. ALSO, I’ve added in the ability to have multiple maps on the same level, meaning you can be an entirely different room than everyone else! Going on, I’ve finally added in ladders so you can get to those hard-to-reach places. I personally find it quite amusing when you shoot someone climbing up one. Flashbangs will now take control of your character… rather than standing still, your character will randomly walk around while stunned. I’ve also stopped “dead-clients” (players that appear to be in-game but really they’ve disconnected but their data was left behind) and also reduced lag… like, a LOT.
It doesn’t stop there though, read the changelog!
