  • Fixed a bug where when unducking, the view could glitch out if the player doesn't have space to unduck
  • Fixed gifts not randomly dropping when players are killed during the winter event
  • Added sv_autobunnyhopping so bhop servers can have this wanted behaviour with client-side prediction

  • Made certain client-side entities only trigger local prediction errors
    • e.g. If the viewmodel experiences a prediction error, the player will not experience a prediction error

  • Fixed a prediction error regarding weapon idle animations
• Fixed certain breakable props not gibbing correctly
• Fixed an issue where certain variables like position would not be updated correctly to match the server in certain situations
