General Fixes

• Pacing - Fixed an issue where coordinated strikes had a 90% chance to occur instead of the normal 30%.

  • This issue only affected Damnation and Auric level difficulties.

• Fixed an issue where the ammo value in the magazine and in reserve of secondary weapons would be incorrect and/or receive incorrect scaling from the Ammo stat.

• Fixed an issue where post-combat bonding conversations would not occur as often as intended.

• Fixed an issue where subtitles would not display during the opening cinematic.

• Fixed the difficulty requirement not working for ‘No Provisions’ penance.

  • The description of the penance was also updated to more accurately reflect the requirements.

• Fixed an issue where the Vigilant Autogun was listed twice in Brunt's Armoury for Zealot players.

• Fixed an issue where the Plasma Annihilator frame had a wrong unlock requirements text.

• Fixed an issue where it wasn't possible to scroll through the talent tree with a mouse.

• Fixed an issue where ‘Charged Strike’'s electrocution DoT damage did not trigger ‘Malefic Momentum’.

• Fixed an issue where the player would lose the highlight on the selected character when moving through the characters in the selection screen.

• Crashes

  • Fixed a server crash which could happen when intense combat or multiple explosions were happening.

  • Fixed a crash that could occur by opening the Campaign Playlist before the mission terminal had fully loaded.

  • Fixed a crash that could happen if opening up the Cosmetics menu for Weapons and pressing multiple inputs at the same time.

  • Fixed multiple crashes related to Rotten Armour enemies.

  • Fixed a crash that could happen when removing the Keystone effects of Veteran ‘Sniper Focus’.

  • Fixed a crash related to using the Inspect action in the Weapon Cosmetics menu on a standard weapon appearance.

• Cosmetics

  • Fixed an issue where the tone on certain hair/fur colours had incorrectly changed.

  • Fixed some clipping issues with the head tube on the Zealot “Void-Farer's Hood” headgear cosmetic.

• Mission Board

  • Fixed an issue where campaign mission debrief cinematics could play while pressing certain parts of the difficulty selector.

  • Fixed an issue where the background of the Campaign Playlist would be fully opaque once some campaign missions had been completed.

  • Fixed an issue where the Campaign Playlist could not be navigated using the appropriate inputs on a controller.

  • Fixed an issue where debriefs cinematics the player hasn’t yet unlocked could be viewed if triggering them with a controller.

Known Issues

• There is a rare crash occurring when trying to equip items to a character. It is affecting players with old loadout preset data.

  • As a workaround we recommend creating a new preset, this should fix the problem. When we deploy a fix to this bug, some players might lose their preset - not their character, just the build preset.

We’ll see you on the Mourningstar.
