Update #1 Details
Game Modes
- Sometimes players who charged the training zone would find themselves off-world, in a hellscape, which is (probably) no longer the case.
Devices
- Fixed an issue where if the player died during a device deployment animation, the next deployed device would fall at their feet instead of being thrown as intended.
Netcode
- That issue where you got hit counters on an enemy when they killed you, but their health bar always appeared full? The health bar display was incorrect – you had damaged it. This should be fixed now.
Location
- Fixed an issue where end of match UI text was displayed in the wrong orientation in Arabic.
- We’ve reactivated the training area, but weird things may still happen.
- Fixed an issue that caused low refresh rates with some AMD GPUs.
