Added AMD FSR and Anti-aliasing to the Graphics options.
There's now logos next to each tower, indicating which manufacturers they belong to, both in Loadout and in-game.
You can now view replays from older versions, but it'll give you a warning that it might not correctly display the result.
Co-op achievements have been separated out from the Quickplay section in the Achievements menu.
The damage value shown in the Damage Graph is now preserved when applying an upgrade to a deployment.

Fixes:

Fixed an issue where jumping to a wave in replays would get you stuck.
Fixed an issue where loading a checkpoint after unlocking an Island in Survival 2 would lock you out of using the Island.

Fixed an issue where not all towers kept firing after you had lost.
Fixed an issue where you could scroll endlessly in the campaign overworld map.
Fixed the "Gain an ADD when you have no ADDs" Tech not working in Survival, as well as it not granting an ADD on the first wave you grab it if you have no ADDs(this is intended to be a consistent behavior across all Techs).
Fixed "Blockers Generate Credits when Axons Pass" Tech not resetting in wave breaks.
Fixed the Plasma Vent Tower Tech not working.
Fixed various issues with Gravity Generator U2, causing random EMP shockwaves, reducing ranges and applying slows on attacks.
Fixed being able to use Hyper Charge on Gravity Generator.
