Engine
Updated engine code to the latest version of Source 2.
Reworked bullet penetration simulation to reduce CPU usage.
Improved core utilization of some client particle and sound effects processing, reducing overall CPU usage when players are shooting.
Gameplay
Defusing C4 will now lower the view model weapon, prevent scoping, and delay firing the weapon by 150ms after exiting the defuse.
C4 will no longer detonate in the middle of halftime intermission or after the end of the match.
