We have been working with Vadim @yellowafterlife on another update to the netcode-- this time addressing matchmaking and some customization features that players wanted. You can now pick a specific opponent out of all the players wanting to play, or just run matchmaker and it will decide for you. The matchmaker should now more accurately show how many players are looking to play (you count as one of them!) You can also toggle variants and chat to your opponent during the match.
