Amazing work on this game! One potential bug, I noticed the game is not playing the custom music tracks anymore and just defaulting to the open license music. This worked in the previous release but seems to have stopped working in the latest one.

Fixed on 138 hotfix.
It was a tickbox on my end that told the game to ignore outside music

Awesome!!!! Thank you so much! Absolutely amazing job!
