[p align="start"]If you come across any other issues, please contact us via our Issue Tracker page. The Earth Directorate thanks you.

Critical Fixes

• Fixing saves crashing on load 100% of the time if bad data gets into the favorited item data.

• Fixed several rare crashes.

• (PS5 only) Fixed crash when game was started with only PlayGo chunk installed, and user progressed past Horizon point station.

• Plug Puller Perk no longer prevents encounters from advancing.

• Players will no longer have their conversation history reset at unexpected times during gameplay.

• Cleared out portions of the map will no longer be reset.

Quests/Progression: (Contains Spoilers)

• Players who encountered problems with Inez after meeting her at the Ministry of Accuracy should be able to progress her argument with Milverstreet now, even if they could not before.

• Inez will now reliably play her intro dialogue lines when first encountering her in the Ministry of Accuracy, instead of on rare occasions playing her standard companion conversation.

• (SPOILER) Aza now properly starts a dialog and quest outside of the N-Ray Range if the player already killed all the cultists at the N-Ray range.

• OA Troopers no longer appear in the ACHQ at an unintended time. Loading a save from before fighting these units will allow players to progress the quest as intended.

  • Note: Players must load a save before the bug occurred. We are investigating solutions for a retroactive fix.

• **(SPOILER) **“Better than Nature” quest now correctly guides the player to Inez if Fairfield is destroyed.

• Otto’s Lock in Free Market Station is now working as intended and can be solved.

Audio/Visual

• PS5 Pro now uses TSR for upscaling to address blurry grass on Paradise Island and unexpected lighting noise across the game.

• Double jump boots no longer play audio at double volume.

• (Xbox only) Fixed an issue that can cause some blue noise on the edges of grass and computer monitors.
