|| v28.5.492430.0
|| 
* v23 brings a tighter dead zone. 
* v23 brings official 90 hertz. 
* Echo VR has a software release distance that is now tunable. 
* Echo VR has a grip deadzone that is tunable. 
* Less stale frames (e.g. less frame hiccups) which will help with more consistent shots and less overthrows. 
* Overlapped rendering allows input to photon latency to go down from 44ms -> 30 ms. 
* Input is sampled right before throwing to get the most up to date sensor reading - this can shave up to 6 ms off your throw for a tighter release window. 
* Input from the last sensor reading is predicted out to the current time for a more consistent and stable throw. Before depending on when you got the sensor reading it could be 4 ms in the past or 1 ms in the past now it's always predicted to current time. 
* Disc Curve has been added as an option on the Private Match Podium. 
* The moderated lobby pop-up dialogue only needs to be accepted once per play session and not every time you enter a community moderated Social Lobby. 
* The Follow Cam now follows the player more smoothly instead of following the disc. 
* VOIP quality has been improved when a player is experiencing degraded network conditions.
