Rematch has just received its second major update, version 1.200.201, which tackles some pesky netcode issues that have been messing with gameplay. From tackles not registering to weird goalkeeper rollbacks causing goals, this patch tries to put those bugs in their place.
Along with gameplay fixes, there are some tweaks to menus, UI, audio, and other technical bits. Not everything’s perfect yet though, and the devs will have to patch some remaining problems later.
