Update 1.14.2 Released

Additions

• Added enhanced support for offline solo play, enabled by selecting "1" for max. players in the "Create Server" dialog
  

Fixes

• Fixed an issue with runner behavior, where they would unintentionally steer faster and catch players (this patch has been applied in an earlier hotfix for 1.14.1)
  
• Fixed decal overflow on round restarts, causing bullet holes and blood splatter etc. to disappear on certain maps
  
• Fixed NPCs being invulnerable while frozen
  
• Fixed sniper scope overlay not always hiding when the game suffers from network packet loss
  

Changes for mappers and modders

• Added entity "point_worldtext", displays a text message oriented in the world, at its origin
  
• Fixed cvar "sv_freeze_zombies_on_spawn" being forcefully set during extraction, which could invalidate rulesets
  
• Fixed improper filtering behavior on entity "filter_activator_name"
  
• Fixed rare crash when equipped "item_custom" collides with a moving prop door
  
• Fixed static decals erroneously respawning on round restart and eventually overflowing the decal limit, dynamic decals with a targetname remain unchanged

• VScript: Added CPointWorldText bindings
  
• VScript: CNavMesh function GetNavAreasFromBuildPath(startArea, goalArea, goalPos ...) now accepts null parameter for "goalArea", to compute a path as close as possible to "goalPos"
