was that fixed by a new ~3gb patch released today? I am downloading one on steam but there's no associated patch notes. 

I just started playing the other day on PC and ran into a baffling issue where after a few minutes my mouse dies. I have to unplug and re-plug for it to work.

LOL your email-box for support is full.  I just wanted to let you know that the horrible incredibly-loud SFX that came with the Skeleton Crabble head in the Incognito was fixed by the gihugeous patch for XBox S the other day.  Thank you. : )
