Hello Travelers!

We have a whole bunch of fixes we’re releasing in today’s Patch. Two of the fixes we were targeting for this patch - Offline Temporal Sanctum Progression, and Ground Decals carrying over between echoes weren’t quite able to get in. The changes for these items unfortunately aren’t quite fixing them, and we don’t want to delay all the other updates for them. While we continue to be hard at work on those bugs (and others), read below for all the fixes and updates out today!

• Fixed a small timing issue with Runebolt

Other

• Fixed a bug that prevented some hardcore players from transitioning to softcore properly upon death.

What We’re Working On

Thank you for your bug reports and feedback, including through our new in-game bug reporter. We’re still working on addressing more issues for future patches.

Here are some things we’re currently investigating:

• Decals persisting and layering from scene to scene.
• Progression blocker in Temporal Sanctum (offline)
• Transition times between scenes
• Rarely disconnecting immediately after connecting to a new server.
• Enemies in Arena and Monolith often do not animate properly
• Continuing localization and translation improvements

We created a d and e patch, both of which had issues that were caught right at the last stage which caused them to be held back. In order to avoid some weird naming issues, this one is f. It is the 3rd hotfix released for this patch which is normally “d”.
