removedThe whole game's netcode has been rewritten to be more Host-dominant. What this means is that less reliance is placed on the player to tell everyone about their decision, instruct animations or player behaviour and UI updates. Almost all of this is relayed to the Host first, who then instructs everyone else to perform actions in the game.
