Summary
Overview
Patch #2 for Los Sueños Stories focuses heavily on technical debt and polish, addressing over 185 bugs. Key highlights include a significant fix for suspect AI behavior regarding CS gas, the resolution of a widespread 'grid' lighting artifact, and a massive sweep of crash fixes.
AI & Gameplay
Suspects now correctly flee from CS gas, and a critical bug where SWAT AI gas grenades had no effect has been resolved. Gameplay balance was touched with a fix for unintended high armor values on the 'Hunger Strike' level and the removal of an exploit where players could pad their accuracy stats by shooting corpses.
Technical & Modding
Stability is a major focus, with fixes for over a dozen unique crash scenarios ranging from tablet usage to VOIP. Modders receive new tools for custom actor spawning and increased lobby sizes, supported by a new matchmaking logic that separates modded and unmodded players more effectively.
