- Fixed a case of uneven performance on multicore machines.
- Reduced overlap in sound timing code.
- Fixed a case where audio could skip.
- Fixed materials compiled into the map not being loaded correctly if they're in the root materials folder.
Stats:
- Fixed an issue that could cause loss of player stats if network connectivity was lost briefly, just after launching the game.
- Fixed issue that caused the favorite weapon to display incorrectly on the stats summary page when a player achieves the most kills with a knife or grenade.
- Made newly-earned achievements and stats immediately update in the achievements and stats panels instead of showing stale data.
