General Bug Fixes:

DEV NOTE: There is a minor issue where the controls for Slash may not display or remap properly after this update. To fix this, please go to Settings > Controls > Reset to Defaults > OK. Unfortunately this means you will need to set your controls preferences again, but this should only be a one-time thing. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for bearing with me!
