Barotrauma recently received a new update that brought some changes and bug fixes. The developers have made the captain job optional in the latest update. If no player is selected captain during role selection, no one will be forced to play that role. This change is really good, especially for those who don't want to play captain.
Additionally, the developers have fixed an issue where the characters get reset in the multiplayer campaign if they are spectating at the end of the round. This issue was annoying because players had to customize all the options once again.
