  • Fixed an issue where the Plaguehunter failed to spawn during "The Pursuing Plague" contract unless the player disembarked and set sail again.

Helm Empire

  • Fixed an issue where players had no access to the Helm Empire and no ships were spawning for the Rogue Hunt.

Stability

  • Fixed an issue where SR30 AI ships were spawning incorrectly during Safeguard and Fort Defense events in World Tiers 2 and 3 when the player's ship rank was 30.

UI/UX

  • Fixed an issue where a debug string was visible in the war assets tooltip of the Extraction event rewards section.

  • Fixed an issue where input became unresponsive after switching to Steam Deck and accepting cloud saves on the "Press Any Key to Start" screen.

Verdant Hunt Event

  • Domains: Philippe La Peste, The Hubac Twins, Li Tian Ning, Vikram Rajan and Rode Maangodin (No World Tier Restrictions)

  • Mythics: La Peste and Vikram Rajan

  • "Verdant Hunt’s Chests" contain cosmetics from the brand new "Bohemian" and "Jade Prowler" sets.

Known Issues

Server Crashes

We want to acknowledge the server crashes and disconnects many captains ran into last week.

Thanks to your reports, we were able to deploy two emergency maintenances addressing the primary causes of these issues.

Should you encounter any issues, please raise it on Bug Reporter:
