Rewind 0.3.0

Rewind 0.3.0

This release includes Park connection recovery fixes, career synchronization repairs, and the 175-player server limit. Each Neighborhood still holds up to 50 players.

Changes

• A player leaving an established Park match no longer makes the server immediately end the match for everyone. Preparing matches and empty courts still clean up normally.
• Improved recovery of missing match packets and repeated connection requests. Available real input can reach players while a missing player's input is being recovered.
• Fixed stale Park position snapshots after entering a Got Next spot or leaving a game, and stale equal-size appearance/build updates.
• Added the saved position, archetypes, height, weight, and wingspan to the requested player's public career card instead of returning the viewing player's attribute response without build details.
• Fixed the jumpshot creator unlock check for stock builds reporting 75 OVR or higher.
• Older career upgrade values that do not match the native schedule no longer block the entire profile from syncing. Existing earned server progression and original save files are preserved; invalid values do not grant free upgrades.
• Improved recovery when an interrupted online/offline preparation leaves a career or its description file missing from the working copy.
• Fixed updater process verification when Windows exposes the launcher through a short-path alias.
• Bounded packet-capture logging so disk or logging failures do not terminate the world service.

Installation

• Operators must install the matching private 0.3.0 server update before activating the mandatory launcher update. Keep the existing player data, certificate, and configuration.
• If the 0.2.9 updater says the launcher process could not be verified, download Rewind-0.3.0.exe directly from this release and replace the old launcher. The updater repair is included in 0.3.0; it cannot repair the helper already inside 0.2.9.
• This public release contains only the launcher executable. Server/operator packages remain private.

Validation and remaining issues

• Automated checks: 406 launcher, 476 backend, 299 Park/world, and 81 hosting application checks passed. Packet-loss simulations also passed.
• Full live multiplayer matches and real update replacement still need player testing. Native AI takeover after an Internet Park departure is not confirmed.
• The builder-confirmation crash, endless Prelude loading, and clothing/animation equip reports are not claimed fixed. The public-card and jumpshot fixes still need live in-game confirmation.
• MyTEAM remains unfinished.
