I wanted to release this build because it includes a fix that I think might solve some of the issues with multiplayer level switches that people are having. Please see this thread for information on how you can help me solve these issues.

This build also includes a bunch of other fixes that I haven't had time to write up. I'll include those in the patch notes for Alpha 30, still scheduled for next week.

Alpha 29g (7/20/17)

Alright, one more! I might have a fix for issues that people were having with generic gamepads not working properly. If you've been having gamepad troubles, try this and let me know how it goes. Note that you will probably need to rebind most of your controls.

For everyone else, all your gamepad bindings will be reset in this build -- sorry!

Controller problems? Go to the Settings -> Control Setup -> Gamepad Setup -> Restore Defaults.

If that doesn't work, try the first answer in Troubleshooting

Updated Unity engine to 5.6.0f3 from 5.5.2f1, and fixed a bunch of new bugs stemming from the upgrade, most of which were related to the physics, UI and animation systems. The engine upgrade could mean a few things. From Unity’s patch notes:
“Improved stability when running on less-than-reliable network conditions”.
“The internal 2D contact processing system has been completely rewritten providing a more robust and reliable reporting of contacts, ensuring correct Enter, Stay & Exit callback state under all conditions.” This could hopefully reduce or eliminate cases where characters are hit through walls without breaking them.
