STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expeditions – Ver. 1.0.6

Release date: TBA
Patch notes:

BALANCE CHANGES

AG-18011 – The objective for JAM-BX’s Mission ‘Let’s Get Clinical’ no longer requests an item before its crafting Blueprint has been unlocked.
- Developer Note: While most players were getting through this Mission by stumbling upon the required item in caches, the intended experience is that players are able to craft an item before it becomes required for Mission progress. Except for Ensign Muriel’s Missions. She’s just eccentric.

IMPROVEMENTS

AG-17900 – To assist with readability, Crew Member Mission text now stays on screen longer.
AG-18086 – To assist with wayfinding, the type and size of waypoint icons have been adjusted in the Tutorial for the Depot and the Landing Zone.

BUG FIXES

Addressed our most common GPU start up crash.
Added a number of fixes for observed server crashes.
Fixed a common source of performance decline encountered during Expeditions.
Fixed a common source of performance decline on the ESS Starseeker, when rendering the player’s avatar on the station signs.
Fixed an issue that showed unreleased cosmetic items in the Customizer. Nothing to see here, move along.
AG-15001 – Made improvements to address an issue where players can appear invisible to their squadmates after landing on Tephra.
- Developer Note: This bug has been harder for us to pin down, and we’ve issued a number of fixes for it over the course of Beta testing. We may need to continue deploying fixes until we fully resolve the problem.
AG-4153 – Fixed an issue where synced emotes were not properly showing across different clients.
AG-11707 – Added missing Crew Member idle animations.
AG-17894 – Fixed an issue that could allow players to move around while in a downed state after opening Planet View.
AG-18028 – Made improvements to address a UI memory leak. Additional fixes will come in future patches, but this should reduce the occurrence.
AG-17906 – Fixed an issue that could cause cinematics to stretch on ultrawide monitors. They are now properly locked to a 16:9 ratio. No more Widestroneers.
AG-18144 – Fixed an issue that was preventing all three Palettes included in the Engineering Pack from appearing in the in-game EXO Outlet preview.
