Today we are releasing a small hotfix to address a few issues that became apparent since our previous update. We have addressed an audio cache related issue that led to frequent ‘stuttering’ for some players. If you experienced the stuttering issues, let us know whether this fixed them. We have also made some tweaks to AI behaviors in Coop modes that should improve the experience overall. Please continue to post your feedback as we continue to improve upon the bots. Full changelist below:
