Misc
- Slightly delayed tagging effects to reduce instances of players experiencing teleportation when taking damage. Delaying tagging results in a smoother experience, however players will have slightly more time to move at full speed when receiving damage. The delay can be adjusted on servers using convar sv_predictable_damage_tag_ticks (default 2)
- Fixed a case where players could start the bomb plant animation outside of bomb sites
- Fixed a case where the revolver barrel would rotate erroneously
- Reduced initial loading times for the Settings and Play menus
