Updates to Ranked and Casual Matches

Slightly extended the maximum allowable time for finding a balanced match.

Performance enhancements aimed at boosting framerate consistency.

Additional optimizations for the visual effects of Duality and Puck Throw.
Refinements in the optimization of Bloom’s Hex Barrier effects.

Enhancements in localization and translation accuracy.
Minor improvements to network performance, particularly benefiting players using WiFi.

Bug Resolutions

Weapons will no longer flicker above the heads of other players when the Muu Dazzler is deployed.
