• Optimized FPS performance when using Dexecutioner and Black Hole.

• Resolved a rare issue causing corrupted save files after crashes or forced exits.
• Improved general stability and performance.
• Fixed exploits that caused leaderboard instability or manipulation.
• Fixed incorrect hitbox scaling for Black Hole projectiles.
