changedYes, that's right, people can now disconnect/ragequit mid-game and it won't affect you. So long as the host keeps the game running and doesn't leave, any leavers will be replaced by a bot and the game keeps going like normal! Previously if a player (non-host) left a game while it was still in progress, the entire match would shut down and everyone would have to start over. This was dumb, and frustrating for everyone who just wanted to play. With the changes added in this update this will no longer happen, instead when a player leaves mid-game they are replaced by a bot. If it wasn't for a message in the chat box saying a player left, you probably wouldn't even realize someone left! Hopefully this will make finding, and playing a game a little less frustrating, as now (losers) can rage-quit mid game and it won't affect you! I also found a few bugs with the server browser, specifically if you tried to join a game with the wrong password you would be told the password was wrong, but the server would still accept your connection, causing a ghost player in the room. This could also cause players to get stuck on "Joining...", instead now you'll get an error message and things will clean up without getting stuck.

NEW HATS AND COSTUMES

With this update the total hats count is up to 50. This update also introduces COSTUMES, which are more than just things that go on your head. Here are some of my favorites! And here's a full video showing them all! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HW_IX5jVLIk&feature=youtu.be Nothing else major with this update worth talking about, lots of little fixes. It's highly recommended to always stay on the latest version!
