I indeed hope this is fixed soon. :crossed_fingers: Barriers have been broken in one way or another since 36.00 (June 7th, 2025). My map has been messed up for 2.5 months. :disappointed_face:

This other thread says they are working on it:

There was another issue in regards to multiple players being added to the ignore list, in that the invisibility would only work correct for the first player added to the ignore list - but I don’t think that particular issue can be tested right now due to them being supremely borked.
