Known Issues

• When revived, player may be put into spectator mode. Killing and reviving the affected player corrects this.
• Some new achievements and TP rewards may not work. We're investigating
• The HUD names and kill messages will be clipped on aspect ratios that are less wide than 16:10
• The game will stop updating when switching out of fullscreen in Windows (known bug in Unity 4)
• View jittering may occur when jumping on lossy networks
• Audio may cut off partially/completely on weapon/helmet sounds
• Other players will seem to float above or interpenetrate while standing on a moving dynamic platforms (network smoothing will exaggerate this effect)
• Potential to fall through elevator when moving
• When joining an in-progress The NeuroGen Incident game, additional waypoints may be visible
• Player may sometimes spawn with no ammo in one or both weapons. Reloading fixes this
• There may be an intermittent bug in Team Domination where one team always seems to have a player in the zone

Fixes

FIXED: "TPs should no longer be lost" FIXED: "Keycard in crew quarters in NGI sometimes not appearing" FIXED: "NGI servers crashing due to excessive logging" FIXED: "Possible fix to Starcrown servers crashing excessively" FIXED: "Weapon accuracy / recoil error (many thanks to Guilty for his work on this)" FIXED: "No longer a 15 second wait to spawn in Playground maps" FIXED: "Falling through hatch in crashed Megalodon on tutorial level" FIXED: "Falling through hatch in Megalodon in the Megalodon level in the playground" FIXED: "Being pushed through elevator floor at the start of the tutorial mission" FIXED: "Missing glass panes in several locations in the tutorial mission" FIXED: "Removed access to the separate training areas in the tutorial level" FIXED: "Location of several occluders in the tutorial level" FIXED: "Adjusted bounding box in tutorial level" FIXED: "Boxes near start of tutorial level so players do not get stuck in them" FIXED: "Spot in Starcrown where a player could exit the map" FIXED: "Spot in the Mainline maps where a player could exit the map" FIXED: "Patrol route on top of Mainline coop spawn building to ensure that CTR does not hide at the back where it cannot be shot" FIXED: "Elimination challenges now rewarding TPs"
