# Vertical Shift Update 2.10.4.27 (Quad Update)
Hello Shifters!
We have another patch for you all!
This patch brings several bug fixes and improvements across player mechanics, as well optimizations to the quad map.
This month's patch includes the following :
# Changes
- Added Toggle for EMP Range Indicator
- Removed Empty Cosmetic sections.
- Optimized Quad map so it will run at much higher frame rates on standalone headsets.
# Resolved Issues
- Fixed issue where the Iframes visual was not really visible. It is now shown as a shield Icon on top of a player.
- Fixed issue where players who joined midmatch could heard by the other team in team only mode.
- Fixed issue where the game music would not play for players who joined midmatch.
NO MORE LOGGING IN
-----------------------------------
Available Right now 2.10.3.17
New Features
~ Auto login! The game will now automatically log you in using your platform account (steam/oculus). You will no longer need to login manually every time you open the game!
~ Backfill! When a player loads into a freeze tag match that is in progress, they will automatically be pulled into the game when the next point is scored. No more waiting 10 minutes for the game to be over!
🔧 Change Log 🔧
~ Added automatic platform login and legacy account linking.
~ Added freeze tag match backfill.
~ Added kill zones outside of freeze tag maps to keep players from glitching through geometry.
Auto login notes:
If you already have a Vertical Shift account (since you're reading this, you probably do), you can log in with that account the first time you open the game after updating and it will be tied to your platform account. This allows you to keep your display name, stats, and cosmetics!
If you currently play on steam, your vertical shift account should already be linked for you.
If you have multiple vertical shift accounts, you will no longer be able to switch between those. You will need to be sure to login to your primary vertical shift account on first login.
