Last Man Standing Patch Notes — April 26, 2017

Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.

Not only do we have a bunch of fixes for you but we also are bringing you the much anticipated Squad Leaderboards and Spectator Camera!!!

We have added Asia/Pacific and Russian regions servers. We expect players from these regions to see significantly smoother play on these servers! They are not region locked and you can still play with your friends on other regions though we don't expect performance to be as good for you!
We've also added ping information for regions so you can select your ideal server!

Squad Play is no longer in Beta! Your matches are recorded on the Squad Leaderboards now!
Spectator mode has been added for Squad Games so you can cheer on your teammates or help keep them calm while playing!
Squad Queue VOIP is now Team Only and you can always hear your squad regardless of range. Other squad players cannot hear your team on VOIP.
Squad Queue spawns have been updated to properly distribute teams in areas with enough loot for Squad Play
All team members in Duo and Squad games will receive experience as long as they do not leave the match early!

Applying Weapon Skins within the Armory will now 'save' that skin for that particular gun and automatically apply it when you pick it up in game!
We've updated the Weapon Stats display screen in the Armory to help you get a better understanding of our weapons!

VOIP range during the warmup phase has been reduced to 20 meters in solo queue to cut down on mic spam
You can now split stacks of consumable items! Simply drag and drop then press the okay button or spacebar to split the stack and drop it!
You can now drag and drop any items from the inventory screen onto the ground instead of just on the 'drop' location
A new barrier countdown UI display has been added to the top right corner beneath the mini-map
You can now swap weapons in the inventory screen by dragging and dropping them on their respective slots
The Proving Grounds backpack weight limit bug has been fixed!
The main menu friends list has been moved to be part of the Squad Play menu
Player Badge now properly updates every 20 levels! You will prestige at level 100 back to level 1. Note your badge will continue to update.

Additional tree lines have been added to areas that felt a little too wide open and tough to cross
Some rocks have been removed in areas that climbing hills were too tough
Barrier audio has been slightly reduced
A bug causing the barrier to play two different sounds at the same time when it was moving as been fixed
Campsite spawns have been improved with additional gear and weapons
A few bugged item spawns on the roofs of cars have been fixed

We've introduced new audio for the AK12! Love it, hate it? Want all the guns to get brand new audio?! Let us know on the forums!

Spectator camera can be a bit choppy sometimes and we are working on smoothing it out
Rocks and a few other objects are having particularly grabby collision sometimes when players run by and this is a known issue we are trying to resolve as quickly as possible as we know it sucks to die when stuck!
Disconnected from server when trying to load into a game
Disconnecting or crashing while playing
FPS spikes / Optimization
