August 29, 2018 Hotfix

All PC servers will be taken offline for an update at 6 AM PT on Wednesday, August 29, 2018.

Downtime is expected to last up to 2 hours.

Meta

 * The Aerial Anomaly event has been reactivated, and should no longer produce multiple anomalies at a time.
 * Esamir's Gaining Ground event UI no longer shows each base and name, and now falls in line with other Gaining Ground event.

Sitrep

 * Reworked the way sitrep's sentences are structured, examples below.
 * Capturing The Crown from Terran Republic in 1:35.
 * Resecuring The Crown in 2:05.
 * When attacking a base, sitrep now indicates which faction you're trying to take the base from.
 * /sitrep can now be used even when capture timers are idle, and will notify players "attempting to capture" or "attempting to defend" message.

Squad

 * We've disabled the "Outfit Hosting" feature for the time being due to complications with dropping squads from platoons.
 * Squad leaders can now "lock" fireteams to prevent players from auto-filtering into them. Click on the fireteam suit icon to lock or unlock it.
 * Mentor squads flagged as private will no longer allow players to bypass the private flag.

Vehicle

 * L100 Python HESH (Lightning)
 * Direct damage increased from 575 to 600, as was intended in the last update.

Construction

 * Solid Wall now has an icon
 * Solid Wall can now be repaired
 * Fixed a bug where Solid Wall could be equipped as a tool for TR Engineer.

Implants

 * Ransack's rank 5 bonus now provides 10% of max health, instead of 10% of current health on kill.
 * Symbiote's resistance bonus no longer stacks with Resist Shield.

Misc.

 * The loadout screen's filters should no longer get stuck in a state where players would not be able to see items they own (or don't own.)
 * Speculative fix for outfit applications crashing the client when viewed.

Known Issues

 * A.S.P. vehicle discounts can break at the end of an event. Relogging should fix this issue temporarily.
