[ Animation ]

-Improved character pose when on a large slope

-Fixed and unfixed feet differently in all use cases to help remove tilted characters (aka MJ Tilt)

-Pin/unpin IK logic is now unaffected by the server’s poor ping time difference

-Foot IK now repositions to an idle pose if the foot pose is very different from the created pose

-Rewrote running, walking and crouching content to fix wide leg/scissor leg poses when moving sideways (Twistzz)

-Changed the animation and behaviour for going up ladders so that the character’s head is more representative of the player’s camera position, including the character now displaying correctly when crouching on a ladder

-Removed the pop-up effect for crouching or crouching while jumping, and reduced the tilt effect of the jump animation

-Fixed an issue with pose pop-ups when a character falls off a narrow platform (such as a ledge)

-Fixed an issue where in many cases the character’s pose would pop out slightly when moving sideways with a slow-moving weapon

[ Gameplay ]

-Flashbangs and HE grenades will no longer detonate prematurely when they exceed their ‘stuck bounce’ limit.

[ Graphics ]

[ Audio ]

-Fixed a bug where UI sounds were not positioned correctly in the game

-Fixed an issue where voice chat was not working properly on community servers

-Fixed an issue where inbound voice chat would sometimes never close

[ Network ]

-Added telemetry option to display images of network jitter and misrouting

-Changed the way packet misdelivery is measured.

-Previously, if a packet arrived in the wrong order, it could be considered a misdelivery even if the error was corrected and did not affect gameplay.

-In addition, jitter was not taken into account, even though excessive jitter could disrupt gameplay.

-The new measurement now only counts reordered packets as misdeliveries if they affect gameplay.

-Additionally, if network jitter exceeds a game-affecting threshold, packets will be considered misdelivered even if they are not discarded and arrive in sequence
