- Fixed an issue that allowed the Kormos to kill players outside.
- Fixed an issue that caused the Tier 3 Firelight to not work correctly if placed while lit.
- Fixed an issue where player jackets would appear incorrectly when loading into a Multiplayer lobby.
- Fixed an issue where pressing ‘Join’ in Multiplayer without having a code entered would cause issues creating lobbies, and remove audio from the game.
