85 commentsWe will be rolling out a hot-fix, currently scheduled for Thursday, August 25th at 5:00 PM PDT (Midnight UTC), with the following changes:
• Crimson Strait: Fixed collision issues with the central mountain that could cause 'Mechs to phase through.
• MechLab: Fixed an issue where accessing the Cockpit Item screen for the first time in a session would cause the Owned and Sale filters to not function.
• Mini-Map and BattleGrid: Improved the readability of Sector designations over the changes from the August 23rd patch. Sector designations now have slight drop shadows and are fully opaque.
• Supply Caches: Fixed an issue where a specific Supply Cache was listing Rarity types for some of its items that were inconsistent with the Rarity type of those items in other Caches. This was contrary to the intended design that items have the same Rarity type across all Caches. The Rarity type of the affected items in that Cache did accurately reflect their Rarity type in that Cache, however. We have opted to remove this Cache, replacing it with a new Cache containing items of higher overall value.
• Atlas: Fixed an issue where the Founder and Loyalty variants were not provided with the entirety of their intended Pattern support in the August 23rd patch.
• Centurion: Fixed an issue where the Loyalty variant was not provided with the entirety of its intended Pattern support in the August 23rd patch.
• Hunchback: Fixed an issue where Founder variant was not provided with the entirety of its intended Pattern support in the August 23rd patch.
Regarding the inability to edit Drop Decks while in Faction Play lobbies
With the introduction of Multiple Drop Decks in the August 23rd patch, players have been unable to edit their Drop Decks while lobbied for Faction Play Matches. While the work required to restore this functionality has not been completed in time for this hot fix, we are planning to restore Drop Deck editing in the Faction Play lobby in the September 20th patch.
We will update this post as necessary if any further changes to the content or its tentatively scheduled time arise.
The maximum estimated downtime required for this hot-fix will be approximately 30 minutes.
When services are restored you will be required to apply a small patch.
