Improved camera behavior in the cave.
Optimizations
[PERFORMANCE] Added the remaining shadowcaster optimizations.
Fixes
Fixed some lightbake issues.
Fixed a minor Z-fighting error in the crane arena.
3-3 Summit Trials

Added floaty stairs to the orange dungeon that activate upon opening the cage. This provides an easy way back if the player didn’t destroy the crystal and hasn’t got any suitable movement abilities equipped.
Wooden platform attachments have been added for the stone columns in the orange platform trial 1st junction so that a platforming route is available to the player when jumping off of the platform.
Munchy encounters in the green upper area now have wider occupancy checks + timespread & tweaked spawns. This will improve performance, spread the difficulty out & hide the spawning of some enemies near the edge of the screen.
Restored collision on ice blocks in the drill wall cutscenes, fixing enemies walking through solid ice. Tweaked the Ice chunk landing spots a bit so the collision won’t interfere with the gameplay of the arena.
Camera shake is now also applied visually when the 2nd crystal is destroyed.
Adjusted timing of the map marker so it lights up during the cutscene.
Reduced delay on cinematic chain from 2.0 to 0.5 seconds.

Tweaked & smoothed central room exploration camera for the exit tunnel + caged golem focus camera.

[PERFORMANCE] Spread out spawns in the central room to resolve hitches / frame hangs on lower end platforms + added spawn fx poofs.
Fixes
The platform locking logic is now hooked into the movetrack events rather than being controlled by trigger zones. This resolves the platform not locking because the player hasn’t entered the trigger zone, which caused the soft lock.
Added extra safeties for disabling the cinematic chain wrapper, so the player is always guaranteed to be able to exit the level.
Disabled macro culling setup as it has no real performance benefit & introduces a one frame bug that is visible on scene load.
Fixed a visual issue with fake light volumetrics not lining up properly in the right top dungeon drop tunnel.
Fixed an issue where probuilder effect zones were not properly visually hidden on scene reload due to them being nested under object enable/disable triggers.
Fixed a visual issue where the purple air vortex tunnel had sunlight inside the tunnel where there shouldn’t be.

Resolved an issue where a camera zone related to combat was active in the central map room tunnel when it shouldn’t be.
Resolved cinematic chaining issue where the black bars would not fade away after destroying crystals in various particular ways.

Resolved fog transitions lingering in cutscenes.
Fixed single frame visual stutter on cutscene chaining.
Fixed purple upper area cutscenes not using the correct fog definition.
Fixed camera shake happening on respawn/checkpoint reset.
