🚨 Important Fix

  • We've significantly improved the issue where some players were unable to click the Ready button. If the problem still occurs, we've added a temporary workaround: you can now use the assigned Ready key on your keyboard. This key can be changed in the Keybindings menu, so everyone should now be able to ready up without any issues.
