This update for the Multiplayer Public Beta includes new features and various bug fixes for problems reported by you, the players. Thanks for sending in your feedback, it's an essential part of getting multiplayer ready for everyone. If you'd like to join the public beta, visit our website to learn all the details. The Spirit Leader can now reassign Spirits to players during the game at any time. Click the multiplayer status button at the bottom left, then the "Reassign Spirits" button. Drag and drop player tags to Spirit panels to reassign them (similar to when a player disconnects). We are continuing to work on various areas to streamline multiplayer gameplay by reducing voting and allowing simultaneous choices for different players, where possible. If you see a specific problem, please report it in-game when you see it and we can look into it. That will be more helpful to us than general requests for streamlining.
