• Resolution improvements for Oculus Quest 2

• Matchmaking improvements

• Fixed head bone rotation

• Various character shader improvements

• Various level shader fixes and lightbakes

• Fixed an issue with collision in Tarvos Prime

• Fixed a collision issue with the Rocket Launcher

• Fixed an incorrect stat issue with the leaderboard
