Notes

• This update changed how the background music is assigned to each map internally. Prior to this update, it was part of each map's Map object, which contains all map data loaded on the fly (paths, models, removables, etc). Starting in this update, it is part of each map's MapDetails object, which contains all map data loaded during game startup (text, difficulty, default co-op division, etc). The background music of some maps seemingly changed because the developers assigned different music when adding them to the MapDetails assets, though whether these changes were intended or not is unclear.
