Public game does fail to re-cook after v40 update

Summary

It appears that some public maps will be affected by some kind of backwards compatibility issue. My public map does not cook after v40 (public island code: private island code:). I’m forced to re-publish a new build of the game.

Additional Notes

Another indie developer might be out of reach during the update period. Such issues will take their games from discover and can lead to financial penalties that the developer themselves did not cause.
