Performance and Stability

This update focuses heavily on technical refinements, introducing several improvements to network performance and stability, particularly for players on unstable connections. Memory usage has been optimized to assist performance on lower-end hardware, and several high-priority crashes—including those related to mission locations and player disconnections—have been resolved.

Gameplay and Combat Adjustments

A significant combat change reverts unintended buffs from patch 1.10.3; dodge stats from talent trees and weapon-specific dodge linger times no longer impact incoming ranged attacks or damage. Additionally, the Chirurgeon's Mk IV Bone Saw received a fix for its heavy attack damage profile when using Brittleness coatings.

Quality of Life and Cosmetics

Numerous clipping issues across various cosmetic sets like the Krieg Vigil Greatcoat and Athonian 98th Fatigues have been addressed. The update also fixes progression tracking for several penances and resolves UI bugs on the Mission Board and Aquila Purchase screens.
