Hey Everyone,
Hotfix #71 (1.8.3) is currently rolling out across our platforms. In the meantime, you can read the notes below.
To stay consistent with how Arbites cosmetics have been presented to players, we’ve deployed a fix for an issue introduced with Hotfix #70 where precinct decals were incorrectly appearing on them. With Hotfix #71 the intended decal behavior will be the following:
All progression gear upper bodies will display the selected precinct number. The upper body of the deluxe edition will remain unchanged.
The cape in the Deluxe edition of the Arbites DLC will not display a precinct number.
Earnable in-game cosmetics that include capes will not show a precinct number on capes.
The Arbitrator Revelatum Plate with Covert Ops Coat (Lucis) in the Commodore's Vestures will not display the precinct number on the right shoulder anymore - to stay consistent with how the cosmetic was presented to players.
General Fixes
Upgraded to the latest version of FSR (3.1.4).
Fixed an issue where Basic Training rewards preview images were displayed in an incorrect size.
Fixed an issue where backstory choices were randomized at the start of an operation in the Barber-Chirurgeon instead of using the player saved backstory.
