ARC Raiders Hotfix for May 21 Applies Update 1.000.042
While Embark Studios has mentioned how content drops will only be rolled out twice in a year moving forward, that doesn’t mean the developers will slow down releasing game updates aimed to fixing bugs, applying balance changes and the like.
Todaym a new hotfix for the extraction shooter is available, which console gamers will see as ARC Raiders update 1.000.042.
This is a super-small update both in file size and changelog, so don’t expect much.
ARC Raiders New Update for May 21 Brings Fixes
The confirmed list of fixes for today include:
- Fixed some instances of missing localization for input/action names across supported languages.
- Fixed an issue where optional buttons in Inbox messages could be incorrectly disabled.
- Fixed an issue where the end of round screen could appear without any characters.
The developers said they are still sifting through player data from the 1.29.0 patch, so expect issues from it to be resolved soon.
