Comrades! We report the release of a fix for Patch 0.1.8, which, in addition to a number of improvements, also brought a number of problems. Now the lion’s share of these problems has been fixed.

Also, due to frequent network issues, we have initiated a migration to new servers. We hope this will improve the gameplay by making the connection more stable. While the migration is ongoing, access to the game may be limited or partially limited — follow our social networks.

We understand that these inconveniences prevent you from enjoying the game, therefore later as compensation for the community we will prepare small gifts. Thank you for your patience and support in this important moment for us!

Game Improvements and Fixes

Fixed a critical issue with saving the status of refill crates (ammo crates, medical crates) in raids
Fixed an issue with calculation of purchase/sale at traders — previously traders could incorrectly calculate the deal
Fixed the amount of available currency at traders — removed the bug with default currency value at traders
Fixed several variations of game crashes that occurred when picking up items
Fixed the ability to achieve higher fire rate with single fire using macros
Fixed the behavior logic of snipers and a number of other enemies — now they fight the player correctly according to the original behavior logic
Fixed a critical issue with visual absence of quests in the journal
Fixed issues with hip-fire accuracy and NPC weapon accuracy
Fixed the kill/finish logic in PvP mode. A player who finishes an opponent in the “downed” state is no longer considered the killer and receives points only for the finish
Fixed incorrect display of ammunition in ammo refill machines — ammo could in some cases be issued above the limit
Fixed loot loading in crates
Fixed the operation of the following armor modifiers:

Damage reduction from anomalies
Firearm damage reduction

Temporarily replaced a malfunctioning perk on the following equipment:

Mercenary Set

[3 pieces] Adapted for Zone II

Assault Set

[3 pieces] Ceramic plates
Max health +14
Fixed inspection animation for the weapon “Fury”
Fixed the icon of the special currency for the Chinese New Year event
