You are definitely not on the latest release then, as both them having plugs and plugs unplugging from sockets on reload have been removed.

Okay so...
After seeing this, I checked my Votv install folder and I saw what went wrong. Even though the itch.io app had the update button that I hit, and such. It wasn't launching the new release build that it had just downloaded/updated. It was trapped in the classic 7z file in the directory. :')
Extracted, loaded up. Not only are the plugs gone, but the new drive boxes are there too.
Thanks @Bearsjunior 💙💛
