    BETA BRANCH PATCH 1.61.b

  • Night will once again be cold in Ascent 5+ and on custom runs when the setting is active

  • Players that disconnect in Caldera and reconnect in the Kiln will come back dead unless the revive statue was used to revive other scouts

  • Guidebook pages will no longer spawn in custom runs

  • Progress towards multi-run achievements won't accumulate in Custom Runs (where all achievements are supposed to be disabled)

  • Fixed a case where reconnecting players would fail to spawn their scout
