KNOWN ISSUES

We’re highlighting a few issues below that we know are pain points so that you know we are investigating them. There are definitely more than are listed here that we’re looking into.

• If another player who does not own the U.S. Weapons Pack DLC picks up one of the weapons dropped by someone who owns the DLC, the weapon will disappear for both players
• The DLC icon for the U.S. Weapons Pack is not appearing on all quality levels of the weapons, only the initial items you receive
• If a scope is attached to the Magnum, when aiming down sights the scope will be off-centered making it difficult to aim properly
• The Interaction prompt is somewhat offset at the Vehicle Station near side mission “In the Face of Adversity” in FNIX Rising
• Side mission icon incorrectly used for world location near Dyrboslätten in the Farmlands
• In rare cases, if a Host travels extremely far away from the Truck and travels back, the Truck will not respawn for the Host, a workaround is to re-create your game session (quit game, then continue)
• The “NUM/” and “NUM*” keys have issues with being re-bound on German keyboards
• The reinforced truck can be inadvertently pushed off course by players or machines, but it will reorient itself
• Some players are unable to complete “The Hellmouth” and “For the Sick and Injured” due to Machines not being correctly counted when destroyed
• Some players are unable to complete “Science of Deduction” if they trigger the cave-in sequence before actually completing the Mission
• Some players may be unable to complete the Minken Bunker Mission even after they are able to gain access while having only 2 out of 3 keys; a potential workaround is to restart your game session (close program, then relaunch)
