• Physics timing fix from Crytek integrated

BugSplat support has now been added to the client and server executables.
When a crash occurs the crash information will be submitted to BugSplat so we can then analyze it.
This will help us to find and fix more game issues and increase the overall stability.

The 30 second leave server timer in the in-game menu is now enforced.
If the game is exited for any reason without waiting the full 30 seconds, then your character will remain in the world for 30 seconds and can be killed during that time.
You will also be unable to rejoin the same server for 45 seconds - a message will be displayed when attempting to join a server in this case.

• Issue fixed where banned/not whitelisted players could still join servers at times

• Arrows no longer will stick into players/objects
