Globed now uses a different networking protocol (hybrid TCP/UDP instead of just UDP). This should fix many (but not all!) of the connection related issues, such as players not loading in a level, or the player list popup taking an infinite amount of time to load.
That means this is a required update which bumps the protocol version to 2. You will not be able to connect to an updated server without updating the mod to this version.
If you are a server owner, please read the server changelog as there have been some changes to the server.
Additional changes include:
- Improve the account verification system (and enable it on the main server)
- Fix the freezes/crashes on the loading screen and update the message text at the bottom when loading icons
- Add a connection calibration button in settings (try to use it if you have connection issues)

- Fix audio crash
- Add a volume indicator in the pause menu player list
- Fix the TPS cap setting being impossible to change
- Fix bug with blank names when clicking on a user to open their profile
- Make the mute button work immediately instead of with a delay
- Add an automatic rollback system for a certain save bug related to gauntlets
- ^ in versions before v1.0.5 there used to be a bug that would cause your savefile to have some invalid levels. Now those will be automatically removed on startup.
- Preload icons on the loading screen (longer loading time but hopefully a lot less lagspikes in-game now)
- Fix disconnecting when minimizing the game
- Room popup now doesn't auto refresh, and sorts players alphabetically (also your friends are now shown before everyone else!)
- ^ same applies for the in-game player list popup
- Scroll position no longer resets when refreshing a list
- Changed the voice chat volume slider to be ranged from 0% to 200% instead of 100%
