v3.5

🎮 Online Gameplay

• Online match synchronization has been extensively reworked so that players, the ball, goalkeepers and set pieces all stay updated in the same sequence.

• Reduced cases where the ball looked delayed, snapped back to a previous position, or left from a different spot than the one shown on your screen.

• Improved consistency on fast plays, so every player sees the same sequence of actions on the pitch.

• Sharp movements, direction changes and slide tackle transitions are now more stable, both for the local player and for everyone else.

⚽ Ball and Possession

• The ball's current position on the server is now respected during shots, passes, challenges and possession changes.

• Fixed an issue where, after several quick inputs, the ball could come out from behind the player or from a visually outdated position.

• The range to control or hit a loose ball has been reduced by 30%, making challenges and first-time finishes more precise.

• The ball and its visual indicator stay more stable while dribbling, without inconsistent visual corrections.

🎯 Shooting and Passing

• Shots and passes are now processed more consistently, including in fast sequences using the left and right mouse buttons.

• The power charged on the shot bar is correctly preserved until the action is executed.

• Fixed duplicated shots and power variations caused by client-server communication time.

• Shots with or without possession now use the ball's real position at the moment of the action.

🏃 Slide Tackles and Challenges

• A slide tackle now correctly counts as a touch on the ball and can set the last player and team involved in the play.

• Fixed an issue where an opponent's residual collision could erase the touch made by the slide tackle.

• Legitimate contacts after the slide tackle are still recognized normally.

• Improved synchronization of the start, path, contact and end of the slide tackle across all players.

🚩 Set Pieces and Restarts

• Throw-ins, corner kicks, goal kicks, offsides, restarts after a goal and balls going out of play now follow a single, synchronized order on the server.

• Fixed situations where the wrong player or goalkeeper could take a set piece.

• The ball and the players now receive the final state of the set piece at the same time, reducing teleports and out-of-order transitions.

• Improved match stability when starting, completing or cancelling a set piece.

🧤 Goalkeeper

• Fixed the goal kick so it is taken by the goalkeeper on the correct side.

• The team responsible for the set piece now stays correct throughout the entire goal kick setup and execution.

• Improved synchronization of the goalkeeper's positioning, animation and release during set pieces and play transitions.
