General Fixes

Hey Everyone, Return of the Infected Moebian 21st - LIVE EVENT


A platoon of Moebian 21st soldiers has been infected by the Blight. Their armour will make them harder to deal with than the usual hordes you encounter.

• This condition will only be available during the event and will appear on both the Standard and Auric mission terminals.

• Re: Stalls and disconnects on console.
  
  • We are continuing to investigate the increased rate of stalls causing disconnects on console. We’ve seen this happens more frequently in high intensity missions such as higher levels of Havoc and Auric Maelstrom missions. We have some initial ideas on what might help with these disconnects and we have included those fixes in this patch.

Heyo Everyone,
Hotfix #51 (aka 1.5.4) is out now and you can find the patch notes for it below! It is out now on Steam and it will shortly follow on our other platforms.
Render Settings Reset With 1.5.0 and the introduction of FSR 3.1 Frame Generation we accidentally defaulted the Frame Gen setting to be on. This was unintentional and we apologize for the inconvenience. With this hotfix, the launcher will be doing a proper re-detection of your render settings and reset the frame generation setting to off. This applies even if you have explicitly turned on Frame Generation. You will have to turn it on again, and you might want to tweak other render settings to your liking after the first time you launch the game.
