Hey Everyone,
Hotfix #69 (1.8.1) is currently rolling out across our platforms. This hotfix addresses multiple crash issues and gameplay bugs primarily related to the release of the Battle for Tertium Free Update and the Arbites Class. In the meantime, you can read the notes below.
Fixed the biggest crash stemming from the Battle for Tertium release: a crash would occur when starting the game and joining servers with a certain combination of skins/trinkets and the Ogryn Pickaxes.
Fixed a crash that occurred often when playing missions with Toxic Gas enabled.
Fixed a crash that occurred when having the Steam overlay disabled.
Fixed a crash occurring when creating a new character if scrolling too quickly throughout the character creation menus.
Fixed a crash that can occur when selecting the Lone Wolf talent while your Cyber-Mastiff is wearing a smoke-emitting cosmetic. As a temporary fix we removed visual FX from the dog cosmetics while we investigate a more permanent fix to be deployed soon.
Fixed a crash that would occur when Auspex devices started playing sounds the same time as the player wielded a weapon.
Fixed an issue where the Play button on the Mission Board would temporarily be unavailable if no Campaign mission was active.
The hair of the “Brahms’ Memories” NPC in the Meat Grinder is now properly displayed.
Fixed an issue where the notification pop-up for unlocking a curio slot would continuously re-appear.

Added a check that prevents players without the Arbites DLC from purchasing the Arbites Exterminator Shotgun weapon skin in the Commodore's Vestures.
Fixed a crash that could occur when a Veteran would activate 'Executioner's Stance' near a Cyber-Mastiff.
Fixed an issue that was preventing equipped weapon cosmetics from showing up in the Operative menu, Mourningstar or Ready Up screen.
Various improvements to how cosmetics and rewards are displayed in the inventory.
Fixed an issue that could cause a crash when killing an enemy as a Veteran while nearby a Cyber-Mastiff and having the "Target Down!" talent selected.
Fixed an issue that could cause the server to crash when a player joined while on an elevator.
