Gameplay & Technical Fixes
A significant technical fix resolves a 'FATAL ERROR' during shader compilation that was preventing players with older GPUs from running the game. Gameplay adjustments include a new 90-degree limit on aim punch and improved ground smoothing for transitions between sloped surfaces and steps. Additionally, defuse-cables will now render correctly even when the player is partially occluded.
