 * Fixed an issue in Clam Blitz mode where overtime would mistakenly end too soon when the barrier timer expired.
 * This occurred when the losing team activated the barrier timer and then took the lead, and the barrier remained open until the match timer reached zero.

 * Changes to League Battle
 * Fixed an issue where immediately after a team’s Highest League Power was updated, if results could not be uploaded due to a poor network connection or other reasons, that Highest League Power was not reflected in the online ranking list until Highest League Power was updated again.
 * Other Changes
 * Fixed an issue preventing weapon test targets in certain locations from taking damage from an Ink Storm.
