- Fixed an issue where Boost items could not be used.
- A minimum waiting time will be applied between inputs for the additional shaping button to prevent errors that could occur due to fast input.
That is the short, practical list. Players who were unable to use Boost items should see functionality restored, and the new input timing for the shaping button aims to cut down on accidental or too-fast inputs.
