Hi folks! This release fixes lots of Chaunter-specific interactions, addresses a few problems with texture loading and controller binding initialization, and works around a caching issue with [mod.io](www.mod.io) that has been causing mods uploaded since ~1 week ago not to appear in the in-game browser.

Enjoy!
