[h2]🛠️ Patch Notes:[/h2]

[h3]🦠 Bugs & Technical Improvements[/h3]

• Improved PSO Precaching: We fixed an issue where players would experience severe Lag when starting the game for the First time. After downloading the patch, the first loading screen is expected to be prolonged for that one initial time.
• Multiple Crash Fixes.

• Callout Director: We significantly reduced the likelihood of the same callout triggering multiple times in a row and also increased the chances of callouts spawning in your shift’s starting district.

Additionally, if a new Callout type has been unlocked, then this Callout type is always guaranteed to spawn in the next shift.
  
• Increased the speed of new Unlocks during earlier Levels.
