1.0 Release Candidate - Hotfix #5



Version: v1.0.739
SteambuildID: 4139752
Client patch size: 200MB



With this Hotfix, we are implementing another tentative fix for the missing or incomplete mission summary issues. We'll keep monitoring the occurrence of the issue. Please let us know if you continue to encounter problems.




General


  • The following languages have been added back to the game:
    • German, French Italian, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Russian & Portuguese
    • Please note that some of the languages are incomplete or may contain some errors. We will continue to improve on the localization in future updates.
  • Added a confirmation prompt for all Blood Bond related transactions.
  • VSYNC is disabled by default in the graphic settings. In some cases, VSYNC was causing some issue with framerate stability (framerate switching between 30 fps to 60 fps). This can be turned on again through the settings if you wish to do so.
  • Increased the XP granted for killing enemy Hunters.
  • Decreased the XP granted for killing the Waterdevil.
  • Disabled the matchmaking banner to allow players to navigate the menu while matchmaking. The banner will now appear as soon as the match has been found.
  • Added an unlock banner for Legendary Weapons.




General Bug fixes


  • Fixed a bug that caused the currency for purchasing Blood bonds to be displayed as the local currency instead of the supported currency. In cases where the currency is not supported, it will now default to USD.
  • Fixed a bug that resulted in ‘The Benefactor’ being incorrectly listed as DLC in the store.
  • (Gunslinger) The “default” sensitivity for Gunslinger has been moved to the “shoulder sensitivity” slider instead of the previously disabled “Default” slider.
  • Corrected the weapon stats for the Legendary Quad Derringer and the Nagant Deadeye.
  • Fixed a bug with the preview picture for the Winfield Augusta (correct preview picture is now present).




Gameplay


  • In some cases, the client may crash when other players extract from a missions.
  • Hunter control scheme: Player can become stuck in Hip fire when holding shift while reloading. (pressing the RMB or switching weapons/ interact with an object to resolve this.
  • Progression based achievements are not currently working.
  • Enemy players may not be consistently highlighted for players and spectator(s)
  • Flash and concertina trip mine currently do not count towards the challenge progress for the Concertina Bomb in the “Book of Weapons”.


UI


  • Incorrect player name may be displayed when highlighted in the leaderboard.
  • Leaderboard entries may look squashed, squeezed together.
  • In some cases, the auto slot selection for tools and consumables will not add to the next free slot.
  • Hunters will be displayed in the background if a steam invite is accepted while on the Last match or challenge screens.



Visual/Audio


  • Players may hear a permanent fuse sound after use.
  • Some melee attacks may be duplicated (audio will play twice instead of once).
  • Switching between weapons may cause some minor animation issues to occur.
