We've made a lot of improvements to the bots in the game, including a way to disable them if you would like to play with only your friends. Bot pathing has been completely reworked so they will no longer get stuck if they get knocked off the path.
Raptors also see some improvements that should level the playing field against those tasty humans.
To disable bots on your dedicated server simply add the following code to the launch options:
When hosting a p2p match simply untick Allow Bots when starting the match.
