Monsters
- Monster Pathing Fix: Fixed an issue where monsters could get stuck when navigating around the map.
- Blind Ghoul
- Hearing Fix: Fixed an issue where the Blind Ghoul could stop reacting to surrounding sounds.

Gameplay

- Earmuffs Audio Fix: Fixed an issue where some sounds could remain inaudible after unequipping the earmuffs.
- Audio Filter Update: Updated the audio filter to prevent audio artifacts when playing with the earmuffs on.

- Lobby HUD Desync Fix: Fixed an issue where pressing F1 in the lobby could desynchronize the "ready" status display from the rest of the HUD.
