Hey Everyone, 

[p][/p][p]Hotfix #79 (1.9.3) is currently rolling out across our platforms. In the meantime, you can read the notes below. As a heads up, this hotfix will be somewhat heavier than previous ones due to various changes to sound files (~3.3 GB)[/p]

Features & Tweaks

• [p]Scab Plasma Gunner[/p]
• [p]New charge sound[/p]
• [p]New “Scope” VFX and “Scope” SFX[/p]
• [p]These should make dodging more consistent[/p]
• [p]Shot cooldown lowered from 2.4 to 2.0[/p]
• [p]Lowered dodge window from 0.7 to 0.6[/p]

General Fixes

• [p]Fixed a rare crash that could occur in Havoc when spawning enemies.[/p]
• [p]Fixed issues with subtitles displaying over menus.[/p]

Known Issues

[p]We’re aware of increased disconnects and server instability since the 1.9.0 update. Hotfixes have provided some improvements and we’re monitoring closely; restoring full stability will take additional time.[/p][p][/p][p]Some players might experience a rare crash occurring when trying to equip items to a character. This is affecting players with old loadout preset data. For players experiencing this issue, creating a new loadout preset should bypass the crash. A fix will be deployed soon to address the crash, which will in some instance delete the character loadouts.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for your patience and your understanding![/p][p]
[/p][p]We’ll see you on the Mourningstar.
