Hey everyone, First off, massive shout out to the over 300,000 of you that have joined us on Sophie since our launch last week and a huge thanks for all of the feedback and reports you've provided that continue to help us improve the game! Yesterday, we dropped an update that caused some issues for a pretty significant number of our players and were forced to roll back to the previous version while we addressed these issues. We've now completed this work and are re-deploying update #2 (with even more changes and improvements than yesterday!). Update #2 is available now, check out what's been changed below:
Update #2 changelist:
Fixed an issue that caused servers to become unavailable, and players were stuck on the "Connecting" screen
Because of thіs issue, we reverted yesterday's update
Improved BattlEye behavior to decrease false-positive bans
Occlusion changes that will have a minor positive effect on game performance
Additional improvements to the character movement
Improvements to the trampler collisions
Decreased the number of shakes and glitches during the collision between tramplers
Possibly fixes issue when character would fly in the air after the collision between tramplers
Possibly fixed the issue that trampler parts would be invisible but you would still be able to interact with them
Let us know if you will still encounter this issue after the patch
Fixed oversaturated boxes and props in the lobby
Fixed that trampler stability didn't affect speed
Fixed energy rod selling price on the contract platforms from 450 to 50Fixed the issue where a character's body may remain in the air after death

Another round of improvements to the character controller. Including but not limited to:
Fixed issue with getting stuck on difficult terrain
Fixed several issues with parkour

Improvements to the hit registration

There are still some cases where compartments might occlude, and we'll fix them in the upcoming updates
Grenade pin no longer gets pulled automatically in Outlaw controls
Improved upiors' behavior

Their movement is now less twitchy

Fixed the issue when some doors may be restored improperly after fixing the Compartment with a Repair kit
Fixed the issue where, visually, the door is displayed as broken after being fixed with a repair kit
Fixed the issue where the expedition will end for the player even though their teammates are still alive. This would also cause issues with receiving the loot after the expedition
Fixed the issue where players could get into the compartments by sliding on the entrance group ladder
