Bug Fixes and Issues
Selection menus getting permanently stuck on screen: Previously, if you picked up a loot crate (weapon, item, or augmentation) at the same time as leveling up or picking up another crate, the selection menu could freeze on screen — blocking all further upgrades, pausing, and dashing for the rest of the run. This has been fixed.
Lost rewards from crates collected during menus: If you collected a crate while another selection menu was already open, the crate's reward was silently lost. Crate rewards are now properly queued and will appear one after another.
Item selection Skip button causing UI glitch: The "Skip" button on the item selection screen could occasionally cause the menu to flicker or get stuck due to an internal timing issue.
