Build 27 – fixes for the rollback beta, No Contest and more maps in Quick Match
🛡️ No Contest when a game crashes
• If your game crashes during an online match, the match now counts for nobody: no loss for you, no free win for your opponent.
• Leaving on purpose (closing the game, disconnecting) still counts as a loss.
⚡ Rollback beta fixes
• Fixed the crash where the background crowd made the game close mid-fight (the most reported rollback crash: rollbacks kept adding up the crowd's animation time until it ran past its model).
• Rollback now only runs when both players have the beta on. Mixed matches used the high lockstep input delay on top of rollback, and every crowd crash report came from such a match; now they're plain lockstep with the normal delay.
• Fixed the black fight screen (only the HUD visible) some players saw with the beta on: rollbacks threw off the game's texture bookkeeping, so the screen's vignette got the wrong colours.
🗺️ More maps
• Quick Match now votes on every venue, not the same three. The special-rule venues (Gun Hill Garage, Red Hook, Crow's Office) stay one on one only.
• The Pit is back in the venue votes.
🚀 Launcher and setup
• The launcher opens again when you close the game.
• If an update fails, the launcher now says why (for example, not enough disk space) instead of just an error code, and the update notes no longer show "u003e" instead of ">".
• Setup now finds your game image even if you pick the folder it's in.
• Updates now clean up after themselves: old game versions and old update downloads are removed (they piled up at about half a GB per build).
How to update: start the launcher and click Update (or wait for the in-game notice).
