It may be that they've changed some things again to break the auto account configurations. (zoom, audio, hotkeys etc.). I'd recommend trying to set them all manually (enable sound effects, zoom out a little bit, reset hotkeys to default) before ever skipping quick-start
There is no code in there at all to walk out of the caves. Have you observed what happened in person? From the log you posted, it sortof looks like the cape was successful. If not, perhaps you can explain what happened, or take a screenshot / similar of it.
Additionally it should not be able to start breaks on the jad wave; if this happened, please let me know
