Due to bug reporting on the Apollyon discord, a few minor bugs and quality-of-life issues have been resolved!
Most namely:
Load time on the initial loading screen nearly fully eliminated for those not using mods.
Game initialization time after the mods screen now ~15% of the delay it used to be. Should be less than a second now, in my tests, it was around a third of a second.
Spoiler-card blocking issues.
And a few other minor issues.
