Cosmetic Fixes
- Fixed an issue where some gaps would appear while wearing the Zealot “Pious Banneret’s Garb” upper body cosmetic.
- Fixed an issue where the rivets on the Veteran “Lucius KM VIIIB Death’s Head” and “Lucius MK IIIA Death’s Head” headgear cosmetics wouldn’t always line up correctly, creating incorrect shadows.
- Made slight changes to the collar of the Veteran “Krieg Greatcoat MkI” upper body cosmetic to avoid clipping with the “Lucius KM VIIIB Death’s Head” and “Lucius MK IIIA Death’s Head” headgear cosmetics.
- Fixed an issue where the shoulder pad on the Psyker “Kobaloi Topcoat” upperbody cosmetic would appear to be offset from the arm.
- Fixed some clipping issues while wearing the Psyker “ “Timeworn” Psyker Jerkin (Taros Tan)” upper body cosmetic together with the “ “Timeworn” Psyker Regalia” lower body cosmetic.
- Fixed the insignia on the Zealot “MK IX Pot Helm and Rebreather” headgear cosmetic being depressed into the helmet.
- Fixed an issue where certain faces would lightly clip into the visor of the Zealot “Votarist’s Pot Helm with Rebreather” headgear cosmetic.
Known Issues
Fsr 3.1 Frame Generation Does Not Do Anything During Excessive Fullscreen Effects
- FSR 3.1 Frame Generation excludes the entire screen from generation when there are a lot of fullscreen effects playing that impact all pixels on screen. This will cause frame gen to just copy the previous rendered result which results in the framerate looking like framegen is disabled while frame counters saying that it is running correctly.
- CURRENT WORKAROUND: If players disable Lens Quality, it addresses this issue for the time being. Penances Shown As Not Completed
- While migrating to the new Itemization system, there is a chance for a visual bug to occur where players with a lot of progression on their weapons might not see their Penances displayed as complete. This is only a visual issue which might occur when opening the Penances menu for the first time. Closing and opening the UI again will update it properly.
- UPDATED: A fix for this will be shipped with the next hotfix. Incorrect Rounding of Weapon Stats
- On uncommon occasions when looking at a weapon card, the total value of the potential stats distribution shown might add up to 1% higher or lower than the maximum (380).
- UPDATED: A fix for this will be shipped with the next hotfix. Misaligned Weapon Skins in the Penance Preview Squares
- There are some weapon skin rewards in the penance previews that are misaligned or don’t fit in the square.
