Front End

Performance

Bug Fixes

- Changed spawn location in Terra Therma for players spawning too close to the shipping containers. This was causing Mechs to have human scale movement collision capsules, making it very difficult to navigate the world.
- Removed collision around the hole in center of Terra Therma's platform in Assault mode.
- Fixed many "stuck bugs" in Terra Therma.
- Fixed some collision issues in River City (Night) where certain sized Mechs were getting stuck between buildings.

General

- Navigation marker posts in Terra Therma will now actually cast light (med+ spec) for slightly better path-finding. Pro-tip: If the marker post is on the right edge of the path, you are headed toward the center volcano.
- Terra Therma - Damage and heat sustained whilst in the Volcano has been increased and is subject to further tweaking.
- Cockpit lights indicating the open/closed state of weapon bay doors are currently non-functional. Normal functionality will return in a future release.

We thank you for your patience and we look forward to seeing you on the battlefield!
