Looting Crashes Fixes
- Most crashes related to looting have been fixed. However, some may still occur. Please let us know if you experience any further issues.
Merc Changes
- Ammo Exploit Fix: UI now correctly displays the proper amount of ammo.
- Reaper Skins: 3 new skins have been added for the Reaper character.
- Fixed a bug when ammo of the same type wasn’t stacking in the backpack.
- Merc visibility has been improved, allowing for better vision without extra light sources. This was broken in the last patch.
- Nailgun's fire rate has been increased by 10%.
Alien Changes
- Slime Spit Update: Slime Spit is now more visible, flies slower, and its damage scales with the time you hold the ability (the longer you hold, the more damage it does). Spitting near a flare will prioritize the flare. The spit ability now functions as a skill-based mechanic—you'll need to aim and calculate the trajectory to hit your target.
- Currently, when the spit hits a wall, it expands and splashes, affecting nearby players. However, only the spit that lands on the floor should cause damage with its splash effect.
- Alien Skins: 3 new skins have been added for the Alien.
- Improved Invisibility feedback: The vignette effect is now brighter and more visible when your invisibility energy is running out.
- Improved sound hit feedback: Monster attacks should now feel more impactful.
- Fixed a bug where Slime Spit could not be canceled.
- Alien rewards up to 10% for Research Facility and up to 15% for Caves of Turion.
- The stamina cooldown for Merc and Alien is reduced to 1.5 seconds.
- The slime spit ability now costs energy again. We've reverted this change. This change was made to address frequent ability spamming.
- Alien respawn time has been increased from 30 to 40 seconds.
Other Changes & Fixes
- Improved Cheater Report UI: The button no longer appears if you weren’t killed by another player.
- Blackout Ending Feedback: An audio message now warns players 3 seconds before the blackout ends.
- Light Switches: Both maps now have synchronized time for light switches.
- Speed hacking protection has been added.
- Fixed a bug where the game’s language would randomly reset to English.
- Research Facility Map: Major cleanup and fixes, including optimized wall models and adjustments to LexRoom. Fixed invisible and black props, such as wooden crates in the warehouse and a laundry machine in Sector A hall.
- Caves of Turion Map: Major cleanup and fixes, with optimized small rocks and bobcat model (unused materials deleted).
- Patient AI Zombie: Added cloth simulation for more realistic animations.
- Main Menu: Various optimizations, including the removal of a laggy skeletal mesh. Adjusted map selector and squad switcher buttons with a darker background added to the switcher. Added a blue line animation to the main TOP menu buttons.
- Load Screen Titles: Corrected titles ("LOOT AND EXTRACT / HUNT AND KILL") for Aliens and Mercs.
- New optimized ambient sound system.
- Some small fixes.
Please restart and update your game.
The next patch with more fixes and balance adjustments is planned for next week.
Have a great weekend!
