Known Issue: Invisible Walls

If players experience invisible walls, this is a client-side version mismatch, not a server issue.

Fix: Ensure the client Xonotic version matches the server version, and clear the download cache:

~/.xonotic/data/dlcache/

Delete the contents of this directory and reconnect.
