BUG FIXES
Fixed some issues that could cause players to be stuck on a mission instead of being able to complete a mission. Prospectors should never agree to work for free after all.
A glass roof in the Rock Pools area is finally went through some badly-needed maintenance and won’t let rain drops pour through anymore.
You can’t break the landing animation anymore with a swing of your trusty melee weapon. Co-Tek thanks you for remaining seated for the duration of your incredibly dangerous drop.
The Duel Challenge banner got its color adjusted.
You will finally be able toescapethe social overview window by pressing the ESC key.
As specific as it sounds, the healing animation while crouched now plays properly when observing someone in third person.
Meteor debris got their color corrected, to the amazements of Osiris geologists.
The “Repair Successful” message now appears in white instead of yellow, as the elder gods of UI had always intended.
Perks on helmets were not centered. They are now. And a collective sigh of relief was heard across the surface.
You will be able to properly access Badum’s Codex now after you have finished your tutorial missions.
It could happen that you needed to turn your flashlight attachment on a weapon twice after switching away from the weapon. We replaced those shoddy flashlights and it’s better now.
The waterfall audio was fixed afterpondering the issue for a good while.
Your running motion and footstep sounds when carrying a Basilisk with a legendary Backpack got fixed.
The main culprit for the Marauder teleporting at times got fixed, meaning those beasts finally lost their Ultra Instinct.
Another fix for the EVAC ramps has been implemented preventing those ships from acting as homemade catapults.
Fixed an issue where bullets would sometimes ignore armor. We will continue to monitor this issue and make sure that armors and bullets keep working on their unsteady relationship.
Fixed an issue with broken storm sound effects. You could hear them more often than intended and they do not cut off anymore.
Fixed several map exploits on Tharis Island.
Stopped players from being able to phase through a door at the Water Facility, allowing that door to finally express its primary function.
Stim and Medkit healing speed perks actually do something now.
Fixed a bug that caused Alien Backpacks to mysteriously appear in the crafting station. And yet, the truth remains elsewhere.
MAPS
We fixed a bunch of issues on all 3 maps, so you can expect less of the following:
“Stuckspots” A.K.A. death traps.
Object clippings.
Out of bound areas.
Accessing unreachable areas.
