Summary
Engineering & Modding
This update focuses heavily on technical improvements, specifically enhancing the Steam Deck experience and expanding the toolkit for modders. Modders can now store persistent objects and override character voiceovers and subtitles via the VO_MOD folder. Several critical modding bugs, such as door data table restrictions and blueprint discovery issues, have been resolved.
AI & Gameplay
Significant fixes have been applied to SWAT AI, ensuring they no longer ignore orders when the player is looking upwards and removing incorrect friendly fire penalties from flashbangs. Suspect behavior has also been tuned to prevent infinite ammo loops. Additionally, the ADS speed modifiers for various weapon grips are now functioning correctly, restoring intended gameplay balance.
Stability & Level Fixes
This patch addresses multiple rare crashes related to physics, shotgun impacts, and door explosions. A massive sweep of level-specific fixes has been conducted across nearly 20 maps, resolving black artifacts, Level of Detail (LOD) popping, and navigation mesh issues that previously caused characters to get stuck.
