All PC servers will come down tomorrow, Wednesday, July 1 at 6:00 AM PDT (3:00 PM CEST) for the new game update. Downtime is expected to last up to 2 hours.

[h3]Voice Communications[/h3]
We've added a new panel to the Settings → Voice menu that shows the current state of connectivity to the server and each voice chat room. If you run into issues with voice comms not working, you can press the Reset button, which will safely reconnect you to all of the available voice chat rooms.

[h3]Colossus[/h3]

• While in Skylance (deployed) Mode, you will now only see Bastion weakpoint HUD indicators up to 1000 meters.
  
• Skylance damage from 1500 all distances to 1500@500m - 1000@1000m
  

Dev Note: The falloff change modifies Colossus Skylance shots required to destroy a Bastion weakpoint from a 6 shot kill at all ranges to a 6 to 8 shot kill depending on your range. The HUD indicators now disappear when the Bastion is at ranges at which it can't retaliate. These two changes should help prevent Bastions from being dominated from extreme distances by a target they cannot see.

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

• !! Vehicle turrets and third person vehicle cameras should no longer get stuck or have broken sensitivities.
  
• !! Fixed a bug that allowed Cortium Bomsb to be infinitely spammable.
  
• We've optimized areas in the vehicle and infantry HUD UI that we identified as causing performance issues.
  
• NSO ANT "Exterior" and "Other" cosmetic options are now categorized correctly.
  
• Known Issue: We're aware of the "infinite repair bug" currently taking place and are taking steps to resolve it.
