Patch 1.1.2 "Save Scummers Delight" Now Live

Highlights

- Do you hate long load times? We hate long load times. Our engineers changed how the game loads levels, reducing load times by up to 60% on PC and 25% on console.
   - As one example, on our PC test hardware a 38 second load time was reduced to 13 seconds.

- Fixed an issue where combat could become unresponsive with use of the Chain Ambush Perk for sniper rifles.
- Resolved several progression blocking issues in Yuma County Speedway.
- Enemies are now much less invisible after use of Precision Strike.

Performance & Stability

- Significantly changed how levels load, resulting in up to 60% faster load speeds across the game on PC, and on average 25% faster for consoles.
    - Note: your hardware, save data, and which level you’re loading into can all impact load times. Your mileage may of course vary.
    - As part of this change, auto-saves will no longer occur as a part of the level load, and instead happen concurrently. This can
      lead to situations where you’ve loaded into the next scene but an auto-save is still in-progress. Don’t close the game while the
      Ranger star is spinning.

- Major Prasad will no longer crash your game if you exit while she’s still talking.
- Additional stability and performance improvements for consoles that were too technical for the person writing these patch notes to understand and explain easily. It’s good stuff though. All good stuff.
    - We’ll be continuing to target and resolve specific stability issues as necessary.

Co-op

- Players can no longer attack companions that are in the process of being recruited by the other player, in case your partner likes to troll.

- Improved stability while in the Hire Companion screen.
- Players can now use the keyboard in the lobby screen to choose game type, options, invite player, and ready up.
- Enabled UI Narration in the Direct Connection interface and for multiplayer game messages sent through chat.
