addedENHANCEMENTSInstantiated hit objects, such as the Plasma splat, now take advantage of pooling which should improve performance slightly. - Updated VFX for Plasma splat for better rendering visibility. - Enhanced damage audio SFX for Plasma splat to reduce amount of times it is played. - Added positional data to SFX for Plasma impact and splat damage so they are accurately placed when spatial audio is on. - Adjusted Disc projectile speeds at all levels for consistency.

removedFIXESDamage calculations should accurately be calculated based on Intensity. - Arcing projectiles should now properly detonate/impact if the target enemy is destroyed before they reach their target. - Projectile target locations on enemies should be more accurate to the body of the enemy and not above or below. - Various projectile performance tweaks and fixes. - Projectiles in-flight will no longer damage enemies that are not illuminated. - Towers will stop firing at enemies that de-illuminate during the firing process.
