This minor patch seeks to improve the reliability, accessibility, and playability of some parts of the game. Specifically, issues were identified with killer visibility bugs, issues related to dead players, and difficulty balancing -- the latter of which should make difficulties beyond Easy more appealing.
Additionally, we always try to prioritize features that give players the freedom to play and enjoy the game however they like, and this update either adds or highlights features with that goal.
