- There are multiple issues with the persistence system that can cause ship loadouts to not appear and bugs with the helmet in the hangar. Easy workaround for most issues is to delete your “USER” folder inside the game client.
- Having multiple input devices connected (I.E. Joystick + Gamepad) will cause conflicts between the throttle settings when certain actions are performed like changing flight modes or receiving damage with hit impulses
- Hangar – Art – X55 debug text appears in key bindings menu
- Some combinations of computer hardware can sometimes experience graphical glitches and artifacts.
- Ship collisions with environmental objects needs tuning and refinement for proper damage attribution.
- All Maps – Gameplay / Weapons – The flare countermeasure doesn’t always cause missiles to miss and follow it
- Player cockpit animations and enter/exit animations still need some improvements
- Infrequent crashes still occur during gameplay in special circumstances and after extended periods of play
- Issues with scoreboard display when awaiting respawn or in 3rd person perspective.
- Radar and signature system still needs improvement for occlusion handling and a balance pass to increase the variability of radar effectiveness.
