HI everyone, just another quick hotfix. We will keep them coming as long as we get feedback about bugs.

Concerning the UI softlock that a handful of players reported - Please do us a favour :)
If you encounter the problem again, hold "control + shift" and press "D". then send a screenshot. that way we can see what blocks the UI and it shall be fixed within a day ;)
