Performance and Bug Fixes
This hotfix addresses a critical issue where audio degradation during long play sessions would negatively impact client performance. It also resolves a frustrating bug in offline mode where Monolith Echo portals would fail to function, and provides a partial fix for Dancing Strikes users getting stuck in online play.
