2020-12-09	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.	Discord
