changedMULTIPLAYER / TASK BUGSRedid multiplayer logic behind the loading screen, hopefully fixing a bug causing players to see the incorrect level on the loading level pre-game widget.

changedMULTIPLAYER / TASK BUGSChanged the logic within the crank task slightly to potentially fix a multiplayer de-sync bug. In testing, I cannot recreate this bug myself, but I do believe it exists due to several reports. I appreciate all the feedback, and I'm still tracking down the root causes of this bug.

addedMULTIPLAYER / TASK BUGSTrying a new method of multiplayer replication when a task is completed. This may fix some of the bugs reported as inconsistent behavior when clients interact with tasks, including inconsistent credit application for all clients.

fixedMULTIPLAYER / TASK BUGSFixed bug causing the number of tasks completed to never go up on both client, server, and in singleplayer, when completing the battery task.

changedSETTINGSChanged all default graphics settings on a fresh account to be set to "Medium".

changedSETTINGSChanged the default "Head Bobbing Intensity" scalar on a fresh account to be 0.5.
