- Adjusted matchmaking algorithm based on observations from the last few weeks to provide more balanced matches quicker
- Created an internal region search speed modifier, NA West search speed has been set to 1.5x and Oceania to 2x. This means it'll be quicker to expand your search radius and find a match. If you have multiple regions selected, it will use the lowest search speed for all (if you queue both NA West and NA Central, it'll search at normal speed for both).

- A player joining or leaving the custom lobby itself (but not the match) will no longer be announced in the chat when you're in an active match to avoid confusion

- Fixed the monk hood clipping with default hair

- Fixed the career interface not showing your rating history properly for people whose PC was in an unsupported language
- Fixed the button sizes in the esports tab, the EUSL button was a few pixels bigger than the others
- Fixed the new shop rotation notification dot not working properly if you change your PC's locale
- Fixed the game crashing if you set the puck spawn and target to the same location in practice (division by zero distance, oops)
- Fixed post hits not counting towards your Steam achievements. These will now count offline as well.
- Fixed the ability to join the pond from the end game screen of an online match or other pond session

GLHF,
The Oddshot Games team

First off, thank you so much for the fantastic full launch! We have reached all of our launch goals and are so happy with how much you love The Pond and the new season pass. As mentioned in the launch post, 1.0 doesn't mean the game is finished, so here's some more features and changes already:

With the soft reset, we noticed we over-tuned how much it would reset the 'uncertainty' factor (how much you gain/lose), we have corrected this:
- Your rating has received a correction to what it should have been based on all of your matches in this season so far. This will show up as a Season Correction when hovering over the rating change in the career interface. If this change kicks you out of a rank, you will have to reach it again to qualify for season rewards. If the change puts you in a higher rank, it automatically qualifies you for the season rewards unless you have not completed your placement matches.
- The default uncertainty factor for soft resets have been changed to reflect the new changes and corrections

- Added a button to go to the pond from the end game screen
- Added notifications when people join/leave your lobby, even when you're in practice
- Added a new setting to hide the score bug (intended for broadcasters)
- Added a command broadcasterinfo on/off that writes a file with the current game status for broadcasting software. The file is located in your installation folder.
- Added a timestamp to the rating changes in Player -> Career

- Added support for back items to Oni and Pestilence
- Added support for hairstyles on the penguin hat

- Removed the grace period for leaving within seconds of the end because of abuse.
- Fixed a bug where if you left during the replay of a mercy rule, you would sometimes get leave penalties on top of the match result
- Fixed the Baseball and Tennis ball puck sizes

Good luck, have fun!
