Steam Economy:

The Red and Blue mystery boxes have been removed from the drops list meaning there is a limited supply of all the items inside. While playing you might now find the Carbon Fiber or Chrome Plated mystery boxes!

Multiplayer:

The multiplayer code is now a bit cleaner, and some new movement-related code was added. In multiplayer anything that moves should now appear much smoother. Edit: It looks like a bit more work needs to go into the new player/vehicle movement networking, so I will make that my #1 priority for 3.13.4.0. For the mean time I've rolled back these changes to player/vehicle but not zombie/animal in 3.13.3.1.
