Tested and added the Desert Squirrels mission zone to the multiplayer map group.



Have been working hard to fix a lot of multi-player client side issues including data replication and smoothing out any rubber-banding.

This week:

• Specimen observation lab lighting updated (not _too_ dark)
  
• Desert Squirrels missions now available in multiplayer
  
• Removed quad bikes from multiplayer (causing way too many crashes - will return if able to fix)
  
• Optimized moveable objects in multiplayer
  
• Moveable objects, turrets, explosions, effects and most pickups networking reworked
  
• Multiplayer max squirrels at once is now set at 40
  
• Chipped Squirrel optimization in multiplayer
  
• Player score replication to all player HUD fixed
  
• Multiplayer menu UI tweaks
  

Current Focus

• Saving missions completed in multiplayer to Single Player Campaign completed missions
  
• Saving picked up items in multiplayer missions to Single Player Campaign completed missions
  
• Player merchants, skills, and suit modding in multiplayer
  
• "Live" avatars in multiplayer lobby character select
  

I am trying to be wary of overwriting anyone's save games because the above is a risky update! Hopefully all goes well and will post an update next week.

Stay Squirrely!
