FEATURE IMPROVEMENTS

• Before the map intro videos play, if team balance can be improved the game will automatically perform a shuffle
  
• If teams are imbalanced by more than one player a shuffle will happen to make team numbers equal

• For every duplicate Merc ability cooldowns are increased by 50%
  
  • This only applies to the original cooldown duration

• Mercs that have multiple uses of an ability (Ammo and Med Packs, Sticky Bombs, Proxy Mines etc.)
  
  • The penalty applies to every instance of the ability used
    
  • Mercs that have an ability that lasts a certain duration (Phantom's Cloak, Redeye's IR Goggles etc.)
  
  
  • The penalty is applied and scales appropriately according to the duration of the ability used
  
  
• Mercs that have weapon abilities which can overheat (Rhino's Minigun, Sparks REVIVR)
  
  • The duration of the ability does not change, but the cooldown timer is affected by stacking penalties if overheated

BUG FIX

• Fixed issue where server admins could be vote kicked from the server
  
• Fixed issue where unbanned players could not reconnect to a community server until the active match had finished
  
• Fixed issue where long server names were cut off in the server lobby
  
• Fixed issue where the game would crash when returning to the main menu from a match lobby (Speculative fix. We'll continue to monitor this closely)
  
• Fixed issue where there was no confirmation to use RADs when all Contracts had been completed and no re-roll tokens remained

KNOWN ISSUES

• Ability cooldown times aren’t accurately represented when Merc Stacking Cooldowns are active
  
  • For example, if an ability has a 60 second cooldown and a second of the same Merc connects that cooldown will now take 90 seconds, but the cooldown timer will still show 60 and each second will display for 1.5 seconds

BUG FIX

• Fixed issue where two confirmation notifications would appear when Re-Rolling Contracts
  
• Fixed issue where Loadout Cards would remain visible in the inventory after being Recycled
  
• Fixed issue where Weapon Cases couldn't be Recycled

• An issue where players would not receive multiple Re-Roll Tokens after not logging in for multiple days
  
• An issue where Contracts would not function correctly between 23:00 and 07:00 BST
