0.8.7.1 Hotfix Patch Notes

[h3][BUGFIX][/h3]

• Fixed post processing for weapons and scopes,
  
• Fixed save configs of the new account.
  

Hello, Soldiers!

It's been a while, but there are good reasons for it: we're working on some big stuff in the background and we're very excited to share those things with you at a later date. While that is going on, we wanted to make some improvements to the current state of the game, so there are a few big items on the list below.

Mainly, the PhysX crash has been fixed. It seems to be a bug in how UE4 handles collision and we can't be 100% sure our fix will cover all cases, but from our internal testing we've had 0 crashing related to this issue. We've also fixed some long standing bugs, like the dark parking lot and some minor issues.

There's a few improvements as well, like the new Breakthrough Station sounds, client update speed and the Continue button sending people off to far away lands on a laggy adventure. The last one is just a temporary fix while we work on the matchmaking, so don't worry - it's coming back one way or another.
