• ➕ Added: Smoke particle effect and funny sounds on team switch
  
• ➕ Added: Remote client-transforms are now interpolated to reduce stuttering. This may lead to small inconsistencies between the actual foots of the characters and the footprints. However, having a smoother gaming experience is a big plus. We would love to hear your feedback on this.
  
• ➕ Added: Short count down before the round actually starts. This prevents problems due to slow network calls that still need some time before round starts
  
• ➕ Added: Feedback Window. We would love to hear from you 💛

• ⭐ Improved: Net-Code for spawning and late join. Should be more robust now
  
• ⭐ Improved: "Quick Play" is now the first option when you click on "Play" in the main menu. This makes joining/creating session a bit more intuitive
  
• ⭐ Improved: Relocated region-switch in main menu since this option had nothing to do with creating a new session, we removed it into it's own panel

• 🔧 FIXED: Late-Join camera bug
  
• 🔧 FIXED: Finally the "How To Play" button in the ingame-menu works *yeey*
  
• 🔧 FIXED: Seekers are properly listed again in the Session-Info panel
  
• 🔧 FIXED: Several minor bugs

Hello Lumia Island survivors!

As we grow closer to Official Launch, we will be ending the purchase of EP Tokens and deactivating all ER PASS. Please read the following information carefully:

- Purchases for 1,000 EP Tokens, 200 EP Tokens, and Random EP Token Boxes will end on Wednesday, June 21st after maintenance (PT).

- ER PASS for Snow Blossom, Ghostly Presence, Beachside Splash, Neon Aftershock, and Slumber Party were kept open for the duration of Early Access. However, once Early Access ends, we will be deactivating all ER PASS and they can no longer be used.
- A new ER PASS will be available after Eternal Return 1.0 Official Launch on Wednesday, August 2nd after maintenance (PT).

• Items included in current ER PASS will be available in different forms at a later date.
  
• Rewards with met conditions that are still unclaimed at the time of deactivation will be batch sent to your in-game mailbox at a later date.
  
• Period is subject to change according to internal circumstances.

Thank you!

• Software cursor is now a opt-in option in the options menu. As players reported back that windows hides the software cursor for some specific resolutions and screen scaling settings in fullscreen mode the software cursor is now disabled by default. This should always yield a visible cursor with the option to activate the nicer looking software cursor if your windows settings support this.
