　　Fixed an issue where the refresh button on the friends list would take you to the team tab when players are in a teamFixed an issue where when players leave the vehicle and the vehicle is positioned right next to the window of a building, players would go into the building through the window when getting out off the vehicleFixed an issue where during server instability, when exiting a slow moving vehicle, the players would be treated as if they were hit by their own vehicleBluehole has also expanded on the previously revealed Region Lock, confirming once again the limited testing.

　　One of the solutions we are considering is operating servers so that only those players who reside in that region can connect and play. These servers will be made invisible to players residing in other regions. But, at the same time, if a player in an exclusive server region forms a team with a player from another region, they can connect to and play on any of the servers available to either of them.

　　Through this new approach we are aiming to provide a better gameplay experience as it will improve network issues and help with linguistic barriers. We are going to run a limited test of this approach as more detailed research and analysis should come before global application.
