- Fixed an issue where players couldn’t access containers due to lack of authority level with no way to obtain them in some Settlement Salvage Missions
- Fixed an issue where players became stuck behind the counter at Pioneer Supplies
Known Issues
- When the player approaches plants they’ve already sampled or have obtained the complete sample for, the UI text says ‘Insufficient Diversity’ instead of ‘Already Sampled’
- The sample burning animation is unclear in that samples are being destroyed or that it can be cancelled
- The quick item wheel is very hard to use with a mouse
- Players may find themselves outside of the concourse when interacting with certain vendors or elements
- ‘Cuttable’ panels can get stuck in housing after being cut
- Players may arrive at an empty Conflict Zone

- Players may find an empty ship hangar when attempting to board host ships in Teams
- Players are not able to pick a side at a Conflict Zone when on foot via their comms panel
- Oculus Rift HMD does not display the game. The monitor Viewer displays correctly and shows headtracking is working
- If players perform a melee attack or throw grenades, obstructive defects block their visor
- Graphical artefacts are present on assets (such as player arm & organics) when visor is on
- Collection mission objective will only update for one person in the instance
- Players sometimes experience that missions are not showing as completed until they re-log
- Dropships will sometimes attempt to dock with settlements rather than drop players in a Conflict Zone
