There have been a number of small changes to the way the loot works in this patch, which should help a bit.
Over the next few weeks there will be a focus on fixing this issue!


Enjoy the patch, have fun!

This is a small hotfix to fix a bug that snuck in after the latest patch.
The issue was critical enough to warrant a hot fix, as it was causing major issues for players when exiting vehicles.

A new vehicle has also been added as a surprise! ;-)

Vehicles; Fixed bug with character exit and entry rotation when vehicle is on slopes
Vehicles; New vehicle added!

First off, apologies that this next patch has taken so long to complete, I'm sure this last few months have been challenging for everyone, so thanks to those that have been waiting patiently for the patch!

Going forward things should be much quicker now, and the patch frequency will be back to normal very shortly!

Hi Guys,


Here is this weeks patch with plenty of fixes to the most commonly reported bugs!
We will be taking some time off from patching over the Christmas period to ensure stable and reliable servers over the break.
During this time we will continue to work on the game, and will also work on a road map which will be released early next year so that players will have some idea of where the game is heading.
This will be a preliminary plan, with room for peoples suggestions and ideas. It will include things such as, an engine upgrade, a complete rewrite of the monster and bot AI, more poi's, more monsters etc...

Thanks for the support so far, it means the world! ːsteamhappyː
