There's a bug (possibly engine bug) that's causing a game UI / HUD issue for large map loads that might be taking longer on slower machines. I'm putting in a fix to try to work around what I'm seeing might be potentially an engine issue, but still doing some more debugging on it.
I've added some anonymous crash reporting and handling to help find some of the more obscure issues players have run into (it already caught one!). Bug Fixes: - Fixed issue with settings menu calling old unity systems that are no longer enabled

Hey everyone, I'm currently testing out a change to how game modes work in the game. The "passive mode" setting is still going to be the default for new players, so there shouldn't be a change for anyone onboarding in the game. But if you've played already and are looking for a l
