Hotfix: Startup, Co-op, and Gameplay Fixes

Hey everyone! 🚗🚙

We're back with another hotfix, and once again, your reports made it happen. Thanks for being patient and for helping us catch these issues.

Here's what's new in this update:

  • Fixed a startup crash affecting some Intel systems with AI Boost.
  • Improved Steam launch, online login, and lobby startup reliability.
  • Fixed the host's Play button sometimes disappearing after a player had been AFK or briefly disconnected.
  • Fixed additional progression issues in the Shed and the Backyard's three-antenna puzzle.
  • Fixed the red cooperative lever disappearing or becoming unstable after activation in online co-op.
  • Improved Phase Shifter controls on gamepad, including backward and diagonal stick input.
  • Corrected the maximum timer in Game of Tag to 40 seconds.
  • Fixed the achievement for scanning every scannable object not unlocking correctly.

This update is available for both the regular game and Friend's Pass.

Important: Make sure both players install the update before starting or continuing an online session. You can compare version numbers in the lower-left corner of the main menu.

Thanks again for your reports and support!
