Hello community,
We’ve released our first hotfix following the launch of Episode Three - v1.61 [55716]. We’ve addressed a number of issues specific to Episode Three, added Lost and Found boxes to all regions, and fixed the lighting issues some players were experiencing. Lighting should now be closer to what you experienced in Steadfast Ranger. Note: This change list may contain spoilers!
