Small patch, one fix.
Chill Shot, Marked, burn, Deadzone pin, shield, veil, near-death and corrosion rings could all vanish partway through a run and never come back.
What was happening: once the board gets busy (80+ enemies) or the frame rate dips below 50 even once in a wave, we switch the rings to a cheaper shader version to keep things smooth. That shader version got glitched sometimes, not drawing anything. And because the frame-rate switch sticks for the rest of the run, one hitch in wave 8 meant no rings until the end screen. Next run they'd be back, which is why it felt random.
Rings are back now, in both versions.
