Hey Battle Chefs!
A new update is fresh from the oven! We fixed some important bugs, applied a sparkling egg wash to the Forest, and generally made BCB better!

Read on for details:

Forest background update

• Eric traveled through the Forest, updating nearly all aspects of the illustrated arena background.
  
• Enjoy a quiet moment with the sleeping Dragon in its calming grove.
  
• Spy the looming Skyland above the clouds.
  

• Fixed control rebinding issue that prevented slidekick from being used nicely in combos.
  
• Thrash's Consume radius has been expanded and is more reliable.
  

• Lantern Fruit now contains two Water gems. Using it for massive points now requires tactical stacking or Fragile-mitigating items like Wart's Spatula.
  

• Challenge roll-over now syncs properly with the leaderboard roll-over.
  
• Made chests always spawn the same "random" sauce each day since they introduced RNG into a critical ingredient type.
  
• Removed consecutive-day bonus item awarding since we never explained it and it was only available for the first battle of that day. Everyone thought it was a bug.
  
• Removed items that only work with the Combo Pan from the rotation.
  

• The Judges' Table candles are now lit during Brigade-sanctioned duels.
  

• Adjusted final boss AI dish targets to be slightly easier to account for the late-campaign chef changes.
  

• Load times have been improved. Some needless unload/load mismatches have been fixed as well as a few slow memory leaks.
  
• Fixed an issue where the Loadout panel would allow selection of invisible options.
  
• Fixed a few Chopping Board-related input issues. Usability improvements will be in the next patch.
  

• Moved objectives header in slightly so it doesn't appear cut off.
  

• Now plays a VO clip when adjusting the VO volume in the Options menu.
  
• Fixed very loud music in Chapter 4 Briefing scenes.
  

• Added a new Safe Mode config option to help users with graphical issues.
