Auto Assault: v14.61 Patch Notes

Known Issues

* ATI Drivers: There are known issues with the way the ATI 5.7 and 5.8 Catalyst drivers interact with Auto Assault. At this time, we recommend that players revert to 5.6 Catalyst until the 5.9 set comes out.
* c:/vogbuildexclientvoglibNDNDError.cpp(96):ERROR:Map versions incorrect. Client needs an update: S:703 c:702. This error will pop up if you enter the mutant tutorial in this build. Just press Accept as it will not effect gameplay.
* The abandon mission functionality is in game, but still in preliminary stages. In some cases it may cause a character to get stuck in a map or on a mission.
* Fans of destruction take note. You may receive unusual drops while destroying things as a level 28+ mutant. They are mission items, and will not negatively affect your character, however, while this is occurring, you may not receive the normal drops expected, such as commodities.

Bug Fixes

* We are aware of some invincible mobs in Mutant area Grand Junction. They will still attack the player, so be careful out there!
* Picking up money should now display the appropriate monetary value with icons above your character/vehicle.
* Fix for mission rewards not being given if you had talked to someone else.
* We now drop vehicles a bit off the ground when you zone in so that you don't spawn in the ground. Characters should also no longer be spawning in their knees when entering town.
* Your brakes are set on the server when you zone in so you don't roll back.
* Client fix for vehicles not activating when they INC in sometimes, which would make them appear with no wheels and tumbling everywhere.
* Fixed bug with junkyards respawning infinite items over and over.
* Made convoy round robin loot work.
* Fixed an issue with the Astimax line of vehicles flipping over too easily.
* Fixed the problem with ranged picking with the Mutant skill Reconstitution.
* Whomp-ass gas canister now works as intended
* Fixed a bug in the Sanctuary mission Spy's Lies where the player would only receive 3 of the 4 cameras they were supposed to gather. Players that were already stuck in this state may want to track down the Suspicious Scav that now hangs out in Sanctuary. He may not have much to say to most folks, but maybe he can help you.
* Sea plane has been reset and reculled. Anomalous holes are fixed!

Changes

* In town, the camera will now stay snapped behind your character's back unless you move it while holding the middle mouse button, but it will snap again when returned (this can be 'turned off' by the "Camera Locks Behind Player In Town" option in the Interface Options menu).
