ADJUSTMENTS
  • Updated the skill-based matchmaking to prevent new players from quickly over-inflating their MMR

    • Using Text Mesh Pro instead of Text for names so they are crisper / easier to read
    • Added new white arrow below the health bar and above the wizard for the local player

  • Add new tip to Mouse & Keyboard controls in tutorial saying you can also plug in a keyboard
  • Add prompt for hitting Spacebar at the end if doing the tutorial again with M+K
  • Keyboard Remapping is now gated behind completing the tutorial so that new players can make more informed mapping choices
  • Changed maximum ping on matchmaker from 185ms to 165ms to reduce high latency matchups
BUG FIXES
  • Fixed bug where MageQuit would hang if a player left at the exact moment the scene is loading, before wizards are spawned
  • Fixed bug where players would occasionally be booted back to couch at the end of an online game
  • Fixed bug where player XP wouldn't persist if their name included a pattern that the web server flagged as a SQL injection attack -- MageQuit now retries the request with all non-ascii characters stripped out if the first one fails
