Summary (AI)

Over The Top: WWI update 1.9 introduces a quick-mute button for nearby players accessible with the L key and adds tooltips for important keybinds. The compass font has been updated for better readability, and additional security measures prevent engineer constructibles from blocking spawnpoints. Explosive damage absorption has been increased on floors and objects in singleplayer, and several exploits, including machine guns shooting through terrain and flamethrowers firing through walls, have been fixed. The patch also restores Vsync functionality, improves the matchmaker to favor lower ping servers, adds new translations for Ukrainian, Indonesian, and Thai, and addresses various UI scaling and chat filter issues. Lastly, the Somme map has been adjusted to facilitate attacking.

Tip: expand all for quick scanning.

Implemented additional security to hopefully prevent players from creating engineer constructibles near spawnpoints and blocking them off.
The Vsync setting was returned from the void and should work again.
Made it impossible to shoot flamethrowers when close to walls, hopefully fixing that they could fire through walls by clipping them through it.
Made a controller sub category for controls to easier and faster access these settings.
The matchmaker now prefers lower ping servers.
