Optimized the network load of the UV light to help reduce disconnects.
Improvements
Fixed two “cheese spots” in Willow Creek.
v0.9.8.2
Added
New difficulty modifier: “Deathwish+.” This mode is intentionally unfair, heavily luck-based, and features an extremely fast ghost. Personal recommendation: Do not play.
This is for everyone who loved the higher difficulties where the ghosts were insanely fast.
Improvements
Slightly adjusted ghost animations for improved realism.
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where UV handprints could appear even when the UV light was inside the tent.
Fixed an issue where certain ghost models did not play footstep sounds while walking.
Fixed an issue where salt could be automatically placed as a footstep.
Fixed an issue where the UV stick would not load correctly in Snowbound Lodge.
v0.9.8.1
Balancing
