Recent updates / today

Hello there

you probably noticed the important number of updates today without any change log

No big deal, I never planned to patch the game that many times, I kept forgetting stuff and discovering more that should have been fixed or things that could be done and shouldnt.

Anyway, just a bunch of various fixes for stuff that should have been already :)

Have a good evening !
