This update includes several fixes for multiplayer desync issues. We will continue testing and monitoring for additional problems. Please report any issues you encounter while playing.

Multiplayer and Networking

• Fixed a desync issue where players appeared to need to kill enemies multiple times.

• Fixed a desync issue where networked players appeared farther behind than their actual position.

• Changed how player IDs are assigned. This should fix an issue where players sometimes had the same color.

New Features and Content

• Added two new difficulties beyond Hullcifer: Hulltimate and Hulltra.

• Added achievements for completing Hard, Very Hard, Hulltimate, and Hulltra.

• Completing a higher difficulty will also unlock achievements for all lower tiers.

• Added a new room.
