Maintenance 27th August - Item Salvage, Splash Screen , & Contract Fixes — Skull and Bones News

Captains, a Skull and Bones maintenance is underway 🛠️

[p align="start"] 📅 Thursday 27th August

[p align="start"]⏰ 8AM CEST / 4PM AET / 11PM PT (26th AUG)

[p align="start"]⏳ ~2 hours

Fixes and Improvements:

[p align="start"]Item Salvage

Shifted the Salvage option after selecting an item to the second action in the list.

[p align="start"] Stability

Fixed an issue where players could not progress past the splash screen on devices with lower hardware specifications.
Improved client stability

[p align="start"]Contracts

“The Unbending Flame” - Fixed an issue where the interaction prompt at the hideout missing if “Flicker of Destiny” had not been previously completed.
“A Trail Renewed” - Fixed an issue where the outpost NPC was missing on Low settings.
“Treacherous Trail” – Fixed an issue where the cutscene camera was sometimes unintentionally excessively zoomed in
“Junk-to-Junk” – Fixed an issue where cargo would appear vanished when players are sunk during the first step of the contract

[p align="start"] Dev Note: Our investigation findings for the Junk-to-Junk contract issue show that the cargo does not actually vanish, but the player’s ship is switched to a different ship than the previously selected ship. Switching to the previously selected ship will allow players to recover their “lost” cargo.

[p align="start"]Activities & World Events

Fixed an issue where all ships from the event area despawn abruptly when the Abyssal Herald elite warship is sunk in the 3rd wave of the Heralds of the Abyss world event.

[p align="start"]Boosts

Fixed an issue where activating multiple Teuling Favour boosts concurrently would result in a “Rotative store failure” error.

[p align="start"]Camera

Fixed an issue where the camera would be stuck in an incorrect orientation when switching World Tiers while in a dialogue or cutscene

[p align="start"]Faction War

Fixed an issue where the War Assets reward track was awarding lower quantities of items than intended.

[p align="start"]UI

Fixed an issue where placeholder text was seen on the character creation screen
Fixed an issue with visual artifacts in the main menu screen
Fixed an issue where the premium edition pop-up would unintentionally re-appear on the main menu when entering the game for the first time each season
