This patch we mostly focus on improving custom maps. All of them will now be placed in separate folders for upcoming Steam Workshop support. There's automatic custom maps upgrade system but in case it fails you should make backup of your old maps and update them manually if something goes wrong. They are located in "BeatAim\BeatAim_Data\StreamingAssets\CustomMaps~".
You can try the updated before release on development beta in Steam game settings. Help us testing it.
