Changelog

• All vanilla magazines can be salvaged.
• Increased player movement air strafing acceleration.

• Added a separate keybind [Left Shift] for skipping item context menu action crafting menu.
• Added a HUD element when outbound voice chat is turned off (optional). Helpful if multiplayer safety menu was skipped.
• Prevent quick-salvaging mythicals or items with kill counters or ragdoll effects. This should help reduce cases of accidentally deleting valuable items, but we can still assist through our support site when/if it happens.
• Ping display now shows Steam Networking Sockets client transport calculated ping. This is more accurate than the (now fallback) ping calculation.

• Show a disconnect message for HWID spoofer ban. (Previously a "shadowban.")
• Removed once-per-input-frame limit on server-side line-of-sight checks. This better protects against bullet hit spoofing at the cost of higher server CPU usage.

• Added warning on loading screen when game connection ping is higher than in server browser.
• Changed default admin commands Internet server list filter to Any rather than No.

Changes to Anycast Proxies

• Currentlyto avoid misleading playersservers found to be using an anycast proxy are flagged. This has two effects: (1) ping has a red warning label about "anycast", and (2) 50 ms is added when sorting by ping to prevent these servers from incorrectly showing amongst the lowest ping servers.

• The warning label clarifies anycast is typically for DDoS protection: "Warning: this server uses an "anycast" proxy for DDoS protection, so in-game ping may be higher than shown."
• Server hosts can flag their own servers with a new "Is_Using_Anycast_Proxy" option in Config.json. To incentivize this, when the host opts-in the ping isnt shown in red.
• When there is a significant difference (>50 ms) between server browser ping and in-game ping, a warning is displayed on the loading screen. This reads: "Warning: the in-game ping (X ms) is higher than the server browser ping (Y ms), likely due to a DDoS protection mechanism. High ping may cause laggier gameplay than expected."
