Update: v3.04b is available now and fixes a few minor issues: BUG FIXES

• (3.04b) Adds developer option to disable handling of avatars remotely. Apologies for all the updates recently but these last few have been critical bugs or additions that the game needs in order to perform properly. Thanks!
• (3.04a) Fixes a bug that skips half of the tutorial for new players.
• Performance improvements for booting up the game have been improved for a few users who had issues playing offline.
• Avatars no longer reset or show up blank after certain instances, such as quitting an event.
• A few minor menu navigation bugs with the mouse have been fixed.

• Turning off Rush Hour text flashes in the options now also turns off fireworks screen flashes in Battle Kitchen.
• Toned down bright flare effects from the fireworks in Battle Kitchen.
• "New" badges indicate a new weekly challenge has been downloaded, typically scheduled for Monday of each week.
• The way that scores are being pushed to the Steam Leaderboards have been altered, solving the issue of some beta testers not being able to set new scores.
• You can now tap or click the top left portion of the screen to continue instead of pressing enter in the CSD title screen. This is to better accommodate touch screen or mouse only users.
• Leaderboards are now available outside of the game! http://steamcommunity.com/stats/CookServeDelicious/leaderboards/547524/

• Fixed bug that halted the unlocking of characters even if there were still characters to unlock. For those affected by the bug, play any Endurance or Weekly Challenge and then continue to the main menu to get the character wheel spin.
• Improved the display of combos over 199 in Endurance mode and Endurance menus as well.
• Fixed a bug that could occur when loading and downloading a Weekly Challenge that would display recipes improperly.
• Fixed the Campaign co-op bug that booted the expediter when the restaurant closed even if there were still customers to serve.
• Fixed small bug that would reset Strike Challenge difficulty after clearing a Strike Challenge.
• For those experiencing hard crashes upon booting up the game, press and hold Shift while the game boots up to disable avatars, as that will solve the issue. To turn avatars back on, press and hold Control while the game boots up.
• The no-fun police somehow hacked my computer and fixed a hilarious bug that caused restaurant equipment to walk into your restaurant and order food.

• Weekly Challenges- Face off with your friends and the Steam leaderboard as you compete for the fastest times. A new challenge awaits every week!
  
• Tag Team Local Multiplayer- Grab some controllers and play up to four players locally as you take turns manning the chef station in Battle Kitchen. You only have fifteen seconds to cook, and five seconds to explain to the next cook what to do first! Good luck!
  
• Strike Challenges- Take on twelve brand new challenges on your own or up to four players tag team with adjustable difficulty settings. Warning: these challenges can be extremely difficult!
  
• Endurance Mode- For one player or up to four Tag Team players, Endurance Mode has you making as many foods as possible perfectly, all while having to answer Chef Risotto's calls and switching out menu items and upgrading them while you're cooking. How long can you last? Also includes the new eSports Endurance Challenge, an event that ups the difficulty to an extreme degree!
  
• Co-op Campaign- Play the campaign mode with a friend using your current save! One person is the expediter, who must give orders to the chef and send them out when they're fully cooked, and the other is the chef, unable to choose orders but must cook or do anything the expediter gives them. Tag each other to switch positions on the fly, and make your way from a zero star cafe to a five star restaurant! (co-op can be enabled or disabled at any time in the main menu of the campaign mode).
  
• Game Improvements- A huge array of game improvements and additions have been added to the game! For more, visit the official announcement page here: http://steamcommunity.com/games/247020/announcements/detail/204114190854399404

• Includes the upgrade pack, "Extra Crispy Edition," that brings ten new foods to the game including Lobster, Bananas Foster, Enchiladas, Sushi and more!
  
• Steam Controller, DualShock 4, Xbox 360, Wii U Pro Controller, DualShock 3 and Xbox One gamepad button mapping fully supported for compatible controllers.
