Patch Notes

Build: Release-76956

Bug Fixes

• Potential fix for crashes while loading missions on Intel Iris Xe GPUs (especially Subterranean Expedition).

• Potential fix for crashes on startup on devices with an NPU.

• Potential fix for bosses being one-shot as they spawn, which could break Abyss runs.

• Fixed multiple "on damage" perks blocking each other.

• Fixed a bug that allowed Morfang to reload after interrupting its primary attack with the reload key.

• Fixed Ursek stance switch interaction with the Decaying Matter perk that would result in a loss of power, armor or speed stacks.

• Fixed Ursek shield charge armor upgrade that wasn't properly granting armor.

• Fixed Anami homing projectile location against the Ancient Warden boss.

• Improved teleporting enemy checks to prevent them leaving combat areas or going behind objects they shouldn't, fixing a large variety of flow breakers.

• Sealed several spots where players could fall under the map, land in a damaging puddle, or get launched into the sky.

• Adjusted Abyss boss arena out-of-bounds zones to prevent bosses from staying stuck outside the play area.

• Fixed an overlapping cleansing area in an Abyss level that led to Cleansing bar issues.

• The "Reach 50 Abyss depth with a Species" Voidpedia counter now updates correctly (existing progress on this needs to be re-earned. Sorry!).

Changes & Improvements

• Bosses can now take damage once they're out of the ground during their spawn attack, and now appear twice as fast in the Abyss when emerging to keep better pacing.

• Abyss enemies now have health scaling like in other activities.

• Implemented a slow scaling of enemy damage at much deeper depths to keep danger in very deep runs. Enemy damage resist now caps at 50% instead of 80% to limit situations where players deal 1 damage per attack.

• Implemented health growth on enemies so players can see their damage properly applied instead of only seeing "1" damage values.

• Abyss elite balance: clamped their spawn rate at high Abyss levels, lowered their armor and increased their health, and reduced their healing on bosses and other elites.

• Removed the Ascending elite modifier. We may revisit it, but it was currently creating confusion.

• Ascended Landscaper health increased from 100 to 250.

• Together Strong's cap of 5 stacks has been removed and now properly scales with the full number of minions nearby.

• Frenzied perk post-application duration increased from 0.2 to 0.35 to improve effectiveness with slow fire rate, short duration abilities.

• Buffed Massive Effect Catalyzer status effect damage multiplier from 100% to 250% to bring it more in line with other Corrupted Catalyzers.

• Tweaked some encounter despawn distances to allow long range builds more possibilities in maps where they were short.

• You can now splice creatures with a Neutral Element.

• Reduced stutters and improved performance across the Abyss and many missions.
