We are going to attempt to move patches up to Tuesday vs Thursday-Friday. So as a result we are releasing the patch a bit early this week and will have a full week cycle next week as a result. The patch is a tad bit smaller because of the short cycle, but has some important changes in it.
- Fixed an issue with loading/saving of bags that we causing bags to go empty 100% of the time. Hoping this will solve this issue.
- Added some new code to detect "orphaned" player nodes. They are causing save issues as well (the relogging dead, on other spots, etc). There are 2 new checks now to help resolve this issue.
- Added German Localization.
- Made some camera improvements with the vehicle and terrain.
- Fixed an AI issue causing targetting issues with NPCs (AI work is a major part of the next patch).
Finally, a friendly reminder the abandon timers for structures will start working around Friday. Please check your structures in game using the following command to make sure things are working properly.
