folder

spaces,

a

> FIX LIST

> - Fixed a slow update problem with the server list.

with
a

> - Fixed a problem with the server list being incomplete.
> - Fixed an exploit where prone players who leaned around corners could
see
> the enemy without being seen.
> - Fixed an exploit where players could switch between prone and
jumping
> positions to move rapidly across a map.
> - Fixed a bug with the sway animation of the sniper rifle scope on
high
ping
> servers.
> - Made improvements to Autobalancing.
