Update:

We are working on a hotfix for Progression to unlock requirements when you exceed them as well as a crash for specific languages when bringing up the scoreboard in multiplayer.
The solutions are being tested now but we can't give a release time yet.
For locked items, try gaining experience and restarting the game until the hotfix is out.
