Quests and Adventure Areas

 * Old Baba's Hut:
 * Several changes have been made to Old Baba's Hut to make the interior section to perform more reliably.
 * Fixed an issue where the raid could get into a state where it can not complete if certain abilities are used to bypass a door.
 * Added code to prevent a race condition that could cause some encounters to not reset correctly.
 * Fixed an issue where characters could pass through all barriers. Certain barriers can no longer be bypassed.
 * Corrected an issue in Lines of Supply that will allow us to reopen the quest.
 * Vasily Ivanych is no longer invincible in certain parts of Into the Mists.
 * The Abbot chest in the Abbey of Sunrise now drops the same treasure table as the end chest.
 * Fixed various text issues in Invitation to Dinner and Oath of Vengeance.
 * Fixed an issue in Ravenloft and the Temple of Elemental Evil where combat music would sometimes play on top of non-combat music.
 * The music in the quests Missing, Sinister Storage, In the Flesh, Undermine, Eyes of Stone, Frame Work, Lost in the Swamp, and Sane Asylum now plays as originally intended.
 * Rescuing Bookbinder family members in Bookbinder Rescue is now optional, and failing to do so does not fail the quest.
 * The Bloody Crypt and Brood of Flame's optionals now display their full text.
 * Flagging for Litany of the Dead has been updated! When talking to Sir Rohine in order to turn Sigil Fragments in, players can now trade their copy of a completed Sigil for a new Fused Sigil. This allows players to use the Fused Sigil instead of the eight separate Sigil fragments to enter Litany of the Dead on subsequent lives. Fused Sigils are Bound to Character. Players currently flagged for Litany of the Dead will need to True Reincarnate and turn in a completed Sigil in order to get this new item.

Miscellaneous

 * Fixed an issue that could cause the game launcher to crash when the game is down for an update. The launcher will now show a dialog telling you the game is down, then open the launcher so you can view the Newsfeed. The launcher will remain "Stuck on Installing Pre-Reqs", but it is not actually installing anything.
