Update v0.1.4.17 - Community Logs, Gameplay Fixes & More

Hello everyone!

In this update, we focused on several long-standing issues, including jittering player markers, disappearing weapons, and inconsistent movement on splines. We also worked on a number of bugs recently reported by the community.

COMMUNITY LOGS

To help us investigate difficult-to-reproduce issues, we have added an optional Community Log system. Community Logs are disabled by default and can be enabled in the game settings. Reports can be exported locally and shared with us on Discord, or sent directly from the game.

IMPORTANT: Enabling Community Logs may cause FPS drops on low-end machines, so please keep an eye on your performance and disable them when they are not needed.
