##### Highlights:

- The room code should now stay the same when returning from match to lobby

- Changes to reconnects:

-  You can now rejoin an ongoing match via room code if the game crashed

-  You can now rejoin an ongoing match via room code if you went back to main menu

-  The host can now extend the wait timer

    ⚠️ If the timer expires, or the host player cancels waiting, the reconnect attempt will still be blocked, and the player will be removed from the ongoing match permanently! ⚠️

##### Fixes & changes:

-   Fixed chat scrolling sensitivity

-   Now the host’s lobby setting page will not be refreshed by others’ actions in the lobby

-   Fixed a rare crash when syncing a drawing to players that left

-  We don’t disable the mute button on players that disconnected during a match anymore

-   Fix a bug where in rare cases after a reconnect, an old guess was automatically re-submitted in a later round

-   Fix a bug where a full image could be sent twice when the drawing phase ended, which lead to unnecessary network burden

-   Avoid sending very large images in full when drawing phase ended, and rely on only syncing all lines while they are drawn

-   Fixed an issue that the presentation intro could have different orders for different player (so sometimes they did not show the correct intro for the following presentation)

-   Fix a stuck case when a word match vote was lost due to a disconnect during a later presentation
