Bugsnax update 1.04 fixes a bunch of big issues

Bugsnax update 1.04 is now available and fixes a number of bugs including a progression-destroying boss issue.

The fix will ensure that those who leave a boss encounter can later return to complete it later; previously, the action made it so the encounter could no longer be completed. There are a number of other issues addressed with the patch, as below.
