Bug Fixes

• Adjustments made to Imperial Cutter landing gear and stairs to support paintjobs.

• Adjustments made to Imperial Cutter landing gear and stairs for better scaling and detailing. 

• Resolved an issue where Viper vanity camera angles were pointing in the wrong direction. 

• Resolved a routing issue with the bass of NPC footsteps.

• Resolved an issue with the game not loading sound for suppressed & audio masked Karma AR-50, resulting in missing audio.

• Resolved a rare occasion in which the Manticore Executioner could play the wrong suppressed fire sound.

• Resolved an issue with reload/clip empty sound constantly playing on Karma AR-50 suppressed fire sound.

• Resolved an issue with the Panther Clipper not stopping audio layers when switching between camera modes, which could result in a build-up of audio layers over time and in extreme cases stop layers of audio altogether.

• Adjusted volume of on-foot self-breathing loop to strike a better balance between combat and exploration scenarios.

• Addressed issue that could result in a very loud Melee Scream.

• Increased Range of suppressed weapons from 40 to 128 meters to bring them in line with other weapon ranges. This is still shorter than the non-suppressed weapons.

• Adjusted Manticore Executioner suppressed & audio-masked sounds so they are comparable with suppressed modes on Karma AR-50 and P-15.

• Slightly increased the audio fire rate of the Karma AR-50 to get it as close as possible to the visuals.

• Reduced presence of Hit and Kill notify sounds in the mix.

• Adjusted volume of physics impacts on other ships.
