• Enemies no longer become stuck when a wall has an object (e.g., a barrel or a pickup) directly behind it.

• Enemies now correctly play their death animation, even if they die mid-attack.
• 3D positional audio for enemy sounds now uses the correct spawn location.
• Enemies now correctly disengage if the player teleports (gets repositioned) out of range mid-fight.
