Changelog

Stability

• Fixed main lobby chat disconnecting when alt-tabbing out of the game. You can now safely alt-tab without losing chat.
• Fixed stale match stats - playing multiple games in a row could send stats from the previous match instead of the current one.

Stat Tracking

• Each game now has a unique session ID - rehosting with the same room name no longer confuses the bot/website.
• Abandoned matches (host quit/crashed) now show as orange Match Abandoned.
• Winner/loser display for winners and losers in both Discord and on the website. Losers also get grey frame instead of blue.
• Known-bad match stats (affected by bugs) will now be flagged with a red border and warning on the stats page.
• Stats dashboard no longer counts invalidated matches.

Quality of Life
