\[2.1] MAJOR UPDATE

Hello there! Long time no see.

We've prepared a major update focused on smoother gameplay, improved visuals, and a more immersive experience. This patch introduces in-game voice chat, a completely revamped user interface, new camera effects, and more.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ KEY FEATURES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

\[+] IN-GAME VOICE CHAT

You can now communicate with other players using in-game voice chat.

Voice chat uses positional audio, meaning voices change depending on where players are located and whether there are obstacles between you. You can choose between Push-To-Talk and Voice Activity modes.

Be careful not to move too far away from your teammates, or you might not be able to hear them.

Voice chat works both in-game and in the lobby.

\[+] COMPLETELY REVAMPED USER INTERFACE

The user interface has been fully reworked and now includes many quality-of-life improvements.

This update brings adjusted settings, invite notifications, an improved in-lobby view, and more.

\[+] NEW CAMERA EFFECTS WHILE MOVING

We've added new camera movement effects while the player moves, making gameplay feel more natural and immersive.

\[+] PERSISTENT LOBBY

Your lobby now stays active after finishing or leaving a map, so you no longer need to reinvite players. The host can select the next map, while other players can vote for it.

\[+] FALLEN TEAMMATE INVENTORY

Once a teammate dies, you can now open their inventory and take their items.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ VISUAL / SOUND CHANGES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
