I'm sorry, you're looking too deep. I'm still playing on the initial 0.6.3 update and the game isn't suddenly unplayable with or without enabling "the funny" in settings. Genuinely the worst things about this update are a broken AI navmesh and buggy hashcode retrievals, which are issues that have presented themselves before and are minor inconveniences at worst.
The biggest hurdle any player has in this update is opening a browser and manually copying an equation in a prompt. Every bug I listed can be a casualty of adding or removing the simplest of scripts and functions and just come with the territory of being a game developer. Take a chill-pill and wait for the next patch, friend.
