In todays update, we're releasing the first "maintenance" update in which we're doing large changes behind the scenes to keep the game current and optimized. This time we've upgraded our netcode library to a current version, which gives us some performance improvements, but should otherwise be unnoticable. As with all big changes, there might be some issues that slipped through testing, should you find any please report them in the #bug-report channel on our discord! Next week, all things going well, an improved network backend should follow which provides lower latency & snappier responses, especially in less ideal network conditions.
