• Added a prompt on starting a new game giving players the option to turn music on

We've turned music off by default due to a content ID error that's causing copyright strikes on platforms like Twitch and YouTube.

That way, anyone who wants to play with music can easily turn it on while players streaming or capturing for Twitch/YouTube won't have their videos muted or demonetised.

When this issue is resolved, we'll turn music back on by default. YouTube is already fixed, so we're well on our way! Twitch is next.

If you've had a video muted or demonetised, please send a message with a link to the affected video(s) to support@surgentstudios.com.
