Hi Samatra,

thank you a lot for the uploading and for very exact repro (again), I assigned the issue to the programmers.

Have a nice day!

This bug is critical to our mission King of the Hill since it heavily relies on profileNamespace saved variables so I will appreciate if this bug could get higher priority and be fixed to be available in next stable update. Thank you.

Hello,
we have fixed the issue. It should appear in a couple of days on Steam Dev.
Thank you very much.
