Engine

The Netcode, As It Actually Is

125 Hz authoritative simulation, a 100 ms rewind budget, 62.5 snapshots a second, and no rollback anywhere. What shipped between v0.9.0 and v0.9.23, with the numbers from source.

v0.9.24

EngineOctober 2, 2026

The Documentation Was Wrong. So Was the Code.

A bugfix cycle run by reading the manual against the code, four WebGPU faults found with bots, bots that had not fought since July, and demo-recorded training that had never extracted a frame.

The Map Editor Is In The Engine Now

SHAGGED, a console-launched map editor that compiles through MakeBSP and loads through the game's own BspLoader — plus Amphi as best-of-three.
