Alpha build 40 is live. Restart Steam if the download does not appear.
Two fixes, both of them things you told us about.
The settings tabs stop breeding
Opening the settings menu added two more tabs every time, for as long as the session lasted.
The menu is reused rather than rebuilt when you reopen it, so it was being handed back with the previous visit's tabs still on it and then adding its own two on top. That is also why restarting the game cleared it, and why it was always exactly two. It clears them first now.
Thanks to the reporter, who diagnosed this correctly in their own report - they called out the missing "clear before refill" and that is precisely what it was.
The command bar number keys work on AZERTY
If you are on an AZERTY keyboard, the number keys on the command bar did nothing at all. Not sometimes - never.
The shortcuts were being matched against the character your keyboard produces rather than the key's position. On QWERTY the top row gives 1, so it worked. On AZERTY that key gives &, and the game treated it as a key it was not allowed to use as a shortcut. Holding Shift to get a real digit did not help either, because the shortcut required Shift not to be held. There was no way through.
Each slot now answers to three things: the plain number, the shifted number - so on AZERTY you just press the key that types the digit - and the number pad, which works on every layout.
This one was found by JustShift, who had answered "blocked" on four command-bar test tasks in a row and then told us one word when we asked: AZERTY. We would not have found it otherwise, and it cost them real test runs. Thank you.
If you are not on QWERTY, please tell us
The cause here was not specific to the command bar - it is about how a key is identified. If any other shortcut refuses to respond on your keyboard, say so in the tester chat. Layouts are genuinely hard for us to spot from this end, and a single word saved us a lot of guessing this time.
No server downtime with this one - it runs with the server that is already live.
