# V2.42 PATCH NOTES

**Loading Screen**
- Fixed a rare case where the loading screen would get stuck (if the map file can’t be synced, it now falls back to locally cached map file)

**Gameplay Fixes**
- Fixed a rare case where your fighters would teleport twice to the catch area if a Froggo was spawned after you cleared

**Mastermind Lords Trophies**
- Imported Mastermind Lords trophies (designed by Seraphin and his friend). Trophies will be given out this patch

**Localization**
- Updated translations

# GAME BALANCE
{{< unit Mastermind >}}
- Extra weight given to some rolls to smooth out randomization and increase variety
-- The Mastermind guarantees we added (must have a Tier 1, Tier 6, Arcane, etc.) were great for buffing Mastermind and reducing the chance of getting a weak roll, but they’re bad for variety. For example, did you know you roll Peewee 50% of the time but Ranger only 20% of the time?
-- This change pulls everything closer to the average (30%). You'll still see Peewee more often than Ranger (because Peewee satisfies more Mastermind guarantees), but it won't be as extreme a discrepancy
-- Will be rolled more: Ranger, Harpy, APS, Honeyflower, Disciple, Tempest, Priestess of the Abyss, Warg, Nightmare, Bazooka, Sea Serpent, Butcher, Windhawk, Berserker
-- Will be rolled less: Peewee, Banana Bunk, Aqua Spirit, Gargoyle, Wileshroom

*We know this change will impact the meta, so we're not going overboard with balance changes this patch.*
