Water is now buoyant, will douse objects on fire and prevent incendiary/smoke grenades from exploding while submerged

Increased the upward bias to Newton Launcher impulses; players fly further, props hit harder more easily

Spectator UI for names & prop possession tweaked for better legibility

Equipment shop allows purchasing an item to replace an occupied slot

Buying shop weapons for an occupied slot transfers reserve ammo from that slot's current weapon if applicable

Audio for weapon and ammo pickups, equipping weapons & shop purchases

More performance adjustments to bullet tracers and impact decals

Bullet casings are emitted from persistent particle emitters instead of cloned as instances of the particle GO

Fire particles are more performant

Role Buttons now have clearer visuals and better alignment with parent objects

Shop menu for Traitors and Detectives have input hints for item use and behavior

Radar ping cooldown 30s -> 20s, can be manually pinged with "Activate Equipment" input

Hover interaction hints were polished for visibility & clarity

Lobby creation UI was changed for new features & clarity

Corpse inspection UI was polished for new features

Spectator UI was adjusted for better visibility

Improved broken-glass VFX

Map titles replace idents in more UI locations

Improved prop damage and collision behavior

Prop pickup eligibility now uses mass alone rather than mass and arbitrary size calculations

Specific Weapon Spawners now use a dropdown instead of Weapon Data

Specific Weapon Spawners no longer bundle weapon files with maps, reducing package size

Map I/O: TriggerHurt and new Prop Damage Surface can now target specific roles

Map I/O: TriggerHurt and new Prop Damage Surface support custom active or on-hit damage VFX

Map I/O: Explosive Prop component optionally reads model-defined explosion values if available & enabled

Hold poses and attack animations for the crowbar, magneto stick and DNA scanner

Hold poses and attack animations for the jihad, c4, health station and knife

Hold poses and attack animations for the spas-12 and HUGE

Hold poses and attack animations for all pistols

Hold poses and attack animations for all grenades

Weapons, ammo and equipment had a large-scale refactor internally to optimize performance and prepare for the eventual addon framework

Weapon, grenade and ammo spawns are pooled and reused on maps to optimize round reset behavior

Weapons, grenade and ammo spawns will now spawn based on the current player count

Pickups and props that were mistakenly placed out of bounds by mappers and fall infinitely are destroyed

Several weapon world models had their physics hulls reworked to improve performance and physics reactivity

Corpses had a major refactor internally to optimize for performance; much smoother ragdoll behavior on death

Quite a bit of networked VFX (Muzzle flashes, tracers, explosions and so on) were optimized for performance

XMovement networking expenses like synced fields for proxy animation have been reduced and optimized

Animation state of proxy players was introduced to optimize network performance

The player's physics colliders have been optimized for performance

The world visibility of the player's body and held weaponry were optimized for network performance

Dying and entering spectator mode visual transitions are more fluid

C4 and barrel explosions were optimized for network performance, as well as their interaction with nearby props and gibs

Trigger volumes and other map tools were optimized for network performance

Network visibility culling for props, weapons and corpses to reduce network traffic

Out of bounds detection and clipping

Prop damage safety, balance and network expense

Cleaner input key titles in keybinds

User settings page visual and behavioral tweaks

Numerous cosmetic weapon-related effects are safer, more efficient and less prone to causing network churn

Disconnect message is more clear when a player is votekicked or auto-kicked for low karma

corpse ragdoll performance, behavior & responsiveness

Volume mixers and internal sound pathing, in anticipation of a larger audio overhaul

Performance (again!)

Loading times (again!)

Map voting configuration

More map pool options for server and lobby hosts

Prop pushing no longer hard-blocked by high weight, now scaled by effectiveness

Health station can be broken (200 HP, or 10 crowbar hits)

Performance

Physics

Joining load times

Map transition load times

Round reset and cleanup behavior

Servers not displaying map correctly or incorrect map

UI hints for Traitor/Detective controls (e.g. team chat, shop) and general tooltip visibility

Moderation tools

Server settings config

Incendiary grenades: OG damage values, small performance gains

More work on out-of-bounds logic

Water and air movement

Grenade physics (WIP, just a small touch here)

Ladder climb/drop speed increased

More blatant VSync performance/feel warnings

DNA scanner ping visibility and clarity

Pause menu size increased for legibility

Jihad: explosion triggers faster

Shotgun base damage increased; headshot damage multiplier decreased

Karma is slightly more punitive
