Fixed Issues

Fixed an issue where sometimes no record is made under Search for Users You've Played With.
Fixed an issue where the game would sometimes crash when starting up the game or heading to a park.
Fixed an issue where the shot success rate for shots made immediately before landing was based on the position where the shot was made.

The success rate for shots is affected by the distance to the hoop (how close the player is to the hoop) and the player's orientation towards the hoop (how directly the player is facing the hoop).

In order to make it so that bunny-hop shots while approaching did not become excessively advantageous, the intended design was to calculate shot success rate for distance to the hoop based on the last point of contact with the ground (the jumping off point).

However, just for when the player took a shot immediately before landing, the shot success rate was being calculated based on the position where the shot was made, which was not intended, so we have fixed this.

However, there are no changes to the success rate for orientation towards the hoop.
