Patch notes

Version: 0.10.0.4.268-9d2ca277

Important bits

• Added a new setting: Force Relay Connection. Doesn't work with Direct IP connections. Sometimes players are unable to connect directly to their friends’ games because P2P traffic is blocked along the route. This can happen for many reasons, such as router settings, ISP restrictions, firewall restrictions, and more. This option forces the use of our relay servers instead of a direct P2P connection, which can improve stability at the cost of higher latency (ping)
