Gameplay and User Experience Fixes

Alongside operator tuning, the patch addresses multiple persistent bugs impacting gameplay and user interfaces across platforms. Gameplay fixes resolve an issue where rappelling attackers occasionally could not enter balconies in Chalet, correct defender detection issues outside EXT Garage in Villa, and fix a bug where operators become frozen in a crouch if hit by a concussion effect during the Armor Pack pick-up animation. Additionally, the hitbox of a fully extended Roc Shield has been corrected to match its model.

For user experience, the default value for the 'Crossplay & Input devices' setting has been addressed, match cancellation votes will no longer disappear if a second player from the same team disconnects, and console issues regarding XBOX controllers placing players into PC lobbies or failing to detect Mouse & Keyboard inputs have been resolved. The patch also fixes missing equipped states in the Locker and fixes an infinite loading screen bug for 5-player squads running PVE Quick Matches during the second round.
