Performance Improvements

• This was the biggest change that took the past 6 months to implement. The game is extremely optimized and runs much smoother.
  
• Latency and lag is reduced tremendously.
  
• Servers can now support significantly higher concurrent user counts. This was a HUGE change that may come with a few bugs that need tidying up, but will ultimately lead to more stable and maintainable servers. This is where most of the time was spent in order to prepare for the release to additional platforms and mobile.

Preview Intel Arc GPU support

• We started adding suport for Intel Arc GPUs. Most features should work on both Windows and Linux but have only been tested on Linux at the moment.
  
• Video recording / match replays are only supported on Linux with Intel Arc. We plan to add Windows support soon.
  
• Video recording / match replays are currently lower quality than NVIDIA and AMD GPUs. We are working to improve this.
  

• Fixed an issue where after purchasing an item, it would appear equipped on your character, but unequipped when a match starts. Now it stays equipped! :) No items were lost, all are in the user's inventory still.
  
• Reduced screen tearing and frame spikes significantly. Especially noticeable improvement on Linux systems.
