Reverting to Version 15, Patch 36

So I broke a thing and now we're back at the previous version!

I know what went wrong so I'm on it!

Zeepkist Awesome Alpha - Version 15, Patch 37

- Broken levels in online will no longer lock your game, and instead boot you to the main menu. I'm looking into catching this on the server-side but for now this will be an improvement already, no more Alt-F4ing :)
