Merry Christmas Parity Players, To ensure the best experience over the holidays we just pushed a new hotfix dealing with some issues some players encountered during online sessions and when testing their skills versus the bot opponents. Other than that, we made some minor gameplay changes to further enhance the competitive aspect of Parity. General

• Fixes glitch that caused players to be stuck after the host left the game
• Only open pause menu when entering steam overlay during local gameplay and not when the player is in the main menu
• Resolves tons of alignment and display issues for screen aspects other than 16:9 - 16:10 and even 4:3 should be working fine now

• Reduces repel-time of spin-shot
• Tackle and Boost disregard current player speed make it more consistent
• Slightly decreases magnet ramp-up time to allow better fake-outs
• Slightly increased player mass when on ice-skates, thus slightly decreasing acceleration and deceleration

• Removes accidentally applied difficulty modifiers on the level 10 bots, vastly increasing their skill
• Improves goalkeeper movement on non-trivial maps
• Fixes some pathfinding hiccups, improving performance in the process
• Improves offense, defense, and predictive behavior
• Vastly improves 1on1 skills
