Bug Fixes
Agents
- Projectiles will now reset their blue travel trail when teleporting, removing the line that connects from teleporter to teleporter. This trail is only visible to allies.
Gameplay Systems
- (late notes for Patch 6.06) Fixed a bug where Agents can drop both primary and secondary weapons while planting or defusing the Spike.
- Fixed a bug in the minimap where teleport abilities can reveal an Agent’s out-of-sight minimap location when under packet loss.
- Fixed an issue where some players’ outline/fresnel displayed even when the “Hide Outlines and Fresnel” setting was enabled.
- Fixed a bug where the outgoing packet send rate was sometimes lower than intended for game clients running at > 128 FPS.
- Fixed issues where vision cones of vertical wall-type abilities (Phoenix’s Blaze (C), Viper’s Toxic Screen (E), Harbor’s High Tide (E)) could flicker or distort on the minimap.
Social
- Fixed a bug where the social panel from the in-game options screen sometimes got stuck open.
- Fixed a bug where when the in-game language is Arabic, and you enter an English word first in a chat message, it would break the right-to-left format standard of text in Arabic.
