This update was packed up to the brim with fixes due to the recent release of the demo, but also brought some other things:

Features

  • Added the 1v1 ranked limited time mode (its a limited mode in order to see how it affects queue times of 3v3 ranked.)
  • Added the ability to create and join custom lobbies while queueing. These are separate from regular custom lobbies so that custom lobby players don't get annoyed by the constant fluctuation of players.
  • Added "Lab Maps" in custom lobbies, maps from the playtest that didnt make the cut and were added to the demo without textures and with missing features (Poop Deck, Beetlekitty's Play Pen, Badbeetle Basin.) Lab Maps are meant to test out layouts before they are refined into full maps.
  • Added AFK auto kick
  • Added "Disable Team Outlines" setting.
  • Added "distance blur" video setting (default enabled.)
