Hey Everyone, 

Hotfix #74 (1.8.6) is currently rolling out across our platforms. In the meantime, you can read the notes below.

General Fixes

• Fixed a crash caused by the new Buff HUD changes.

• Fixed a crash that can occur when opening the Mission Terminal while network connection is lost.

• Fixed a crash that can occur when trying to dodge while carrying a luggable.

• Fixed a sync issue that could end up blocking some players from joining the Mourningstar.

• Reduced memory usage in the Mourningstar which should lead to reduced crashes on PlayStation.

• Reworked how particle destruction works to avoid a set of fairly common crashes.

• Reduced maximum packet size to improve network stability under poor network conditions.

• Solved a case in which the game could lose access to data services during a gameplay session.

Cosmetic and Animation Fixes

Arbites Fixes & Tweaks

General Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the Cyber-Mastiff would sometimes move upward after colliding with walls instead of falling naturally due to gravity.
  

Cosmetic and Animation Fixes

• Fixed an issue that was causing the Suppression Shield & Shock Maul to block the view during the outro cutscene for assassination missions.
  

We’ll see you on the Mourningstar.
