===Bugfixes===
===Info===
Every [[Prospector]] that was logged in before the patch is applied receives 25.000 [[K-Marks]] as a small compensation for the rocky start.
 
We are looking into additional tweaks and changes and fixes for the future. One topic that we are closely monitoring is power progression. That means we are looking at material selling prices, the fact that getting better [[Gear]] should feel more impactful, some damage values (e.g. C-32, Scrapper, PDW, AR-55, Lacerator), and so on and on. There is a chance that we will have another patch during the Closed Beta.


*UI Marker on tutorial quests has been fixed
It can happen that the fixes for the quests reset your progress on them and that you have to recraft the [[Backpacks|Backpack]] if you were stuck on that quest, sorry about that, but we hope that being able to progress properly will make up for it.
*Additional adjustments to level streaming. This will increase the download size (~ 15GB more) but should boost the performance
*The player report window in the battlelog has been fixed and now fills needed data automatically
*Fixed some smaller issues with jobs and campaigns


===Known Issues===
While we hope that most of these fixes resolve the issues for most of you, there is always the chance that it does not resolve an issue for all players.


*Data in the battlelog can sometimes show misleading data
Please make sure to give us feedback about the patch.


As the ingame maintenance notice is currently not working, please make sure to be careful tomorrow, as the start of the maintenance will kick you off the server and you will lose your [[Gear]]!


We will continue to work hard on additional improvements. Thank you for your feedback and your suggestions for the game.
Sorry about that and thanks for your patience and your interest in our Closed Beta!
Remember Prospectors "Fortuna favors the bold"
