# Change Log

This update focused primarily on improving respawns, round transitions, streaming reliability, and overall multiplayer stability.

## Death and Respawn Fixes

A number of changes were made to make eliminations and respawns more reliable:

* Added recovery handling for cases where a player temporarily loses their character after elimination.
* Added a five-second fallback recovery spawn when a valid character is not assigned correctly.
* Prevented duplicate spawn events from causing players to redeploy more than once.
* Prevented eliminated players from being accidentally redeployed during the same round.
* Team assignments are now preserved during delayed and recovery spawns.
* Improved elimination event handling to prevent the same character from being subscribed multiple times.
* Added timeout protection when routing players back to the lobby so they cannot remain stuck indefinitely.
* Removed the previous sequential respawn delay, which could cause increasingly long waits when several players were respawning.
* Added additional recovery handling for players who reach the lobby without a valid character.

## Round Transition Improvements

Round transitions have been reworked to make the move from one battle to the next feel much faster and smoother.

* All 48 combat spawn pads are now configured for gameplay only.
* All 12 pregame spawn pads are now reserved for the pregame phase.
* Removed older logic that temporarily disabled combat spawn pads during configuration checks.Read More

Invalid index on item granter is set to 64, but does not resolve as 64. This needs inspected in order to proceed.

**FIXED**

- Cause: saved controller overrides still referenced the former 65-item catalog. BunkerPool=[64]
requested Port-A-Bunker, but all four granters now have 64 entries, with that item at 63.

- Corrected all stale mobility, healing, bunker and stack arrays—not just index 64. Verified item
identities and all four team references.

- Added loadout validation, empty-pool protection and grant bounds checks.
- All validation tests passed, and is ready for a release.
