Beta update – 10 Feb, 2023 @ 23:46 UTC

  • Accident 32: Confined Facility: Improved bot navigation.
  • Increased the physical size of grenade launcher, sniper rifle, and heavy rifle ammo for visibility.
  • Fixed bots picking squad positions that are technically close to the leader but require walking on a very long path to reach.
  • Bots can no longer pathfind through players.
  • Fixed NPC portraits getting stuck until the next time they would have shown when performing an instant restart during story dialogue.
  • Fixed the objective list being visible twice in briefing for maps with briefing cameras.
  • Briefing cameras now only work on the main briefing lobby view – sub-menus like marine selection show the briefing video background instead.
  • Fixed auto-recorded demos not properly resetting when an instant restart occurred.
  • Kill count updates for drones, rangers, buzzers, boomers, parasites, xenomites, and grubs are now unreliable (that is, the server doesn’t retry them if the packet gets lost). This should reduce how likely it is to get dropped by a server when killing a large number of aliens in a short period of time with moderate to high packet loss.
  • Added a UI hint to show that the X button on controllers can be used to view weapon information during briefing.
  • Fixed the IAF Freeze Sentry Gun being able to freeze allied marines.
  • When downloading data from a computer that has other menu options, you will now return to the menu automatically after the download finishes.
  • Added the Mender story to the Swarmopedia. (Just 3 left to go!)
