  47. NETWORK PERFORMANCE

  49. If you?ve been experiencing situations in multiplayer where it appears
  50. that you are taking damage from enemies through walls, you might have
  51. been the victim of a network sync bug. In this game update, we have
  52. identified and eliminated one such bug that caused this type of gameplay
  53. experience. We are continuing to work on more multiplayer optimizations

  59. slider governs a group of settings that aim to produce a tighter multiplayer
  60. experience based on your specific packet loss situation.

  64. interacting with objects in the game. This has been experienced by some

  66. stationary weapons. The cause for these specific network lag situations
  67. has been solved.
