First off, this patch does NOT address the following things:

1. It does NOT fix the consta-spawn problem, which obviously then does NOT fix the gren-spawning, C4-spawning, etc.


2. It does NOT fix player balance - we tweaked some settings a bit but we need more testing and time to really fix those up proper. keep the community feedback coming, every little bit helps!

Here are some things it DOES address:

1. Crash bugs. We have fixed at least 4 separate server and client crash bugs.


2. Network and local latency problems - fixed as much as was possible from the code. We have to scale back our maps a little in the update to really get the wailing net perf we want.


3. Fixed outrageously huge blood effect.


4. Spectator mode! Type to each other, keep an eye on your deployment timer, use the chase cam, etc.

There is probably some other stuff in there too, these are just the things that I tested tonight with Cardinal. Once we have tested the Release server the patch will be in your hands! Thanks again for all the community support and feedback, even from the cranky 12 yr olds on the PHL forums! Harsh criticism is the best criticism, even if we have to sort through the grammar atrocities to find the real problem!
