Thanks Rhino for giving it a go even if the type of game is outside of your normal wheelhouse :)
The bug with the Ellex map transfer was not something I caught (obviously) but really wish I had the ability to fix, but alas, it is too late! Same with the multiple encounters in a row - no clue why that bug is happening, but it doesn't happen all the time luckily (at least for me, it was like once per playthrough).
I appreciate the feedback a lot!
