Fixes and Improvements

Audio

· Fixed an issue where multiple shanties failed to trigger during standard navigation. [Player reported ] (We've brought the crew to singing classes and they've started singing again)

· Fixed an issue where Title Screen and Store BGM + UI audio were missing. [Player reported ] (Forgot to hire the musicians and foley artists for the past few weeks, my bad.)

Combat

· Fixed an issue where the Abyssal Stigma status effect could not be removed by using a Restoration Kit.

· Updated the "Perforate" Mythic Mod description to clarify that projectiles can pierce the same enemy ship multiple times, dealing reduced damage with each pierce.

· Fixed an issue where the Blowback perk dealt percentage-based damage instead of flat damage. [Player reported ] (We invested some skill points into Mathematics and learned how to count better.)

· Fixed an issue where Kraken Eye weakpoints remained highlighted during Phases 1 and 2 of the Kraken event.

· Fixed an issue where Iron Thunder remained charged up even after Elite ships fired out ballistas during Heralds of the Abyss.

· Fixed an issue where certain sea monsters could be defeated in a single hit by targeting their weakpoints. (Y'all gotta chill, let's not abuse the sea monsters.)

Contracts

· Fixed an issue where objective text was unclear regarding how to deliver items to the Buoy during the "Domain: Philippe La Peste" seasonal contract.

· Fixed an issue in Bloodsoaked Silver where traitors remained invincible, preventing contract completion. [Player reported ] (Ah, forgot to remove their immortality. There we go, done!)

· Fixed an issue that caused Abyssal Essence to be rewarded for completing ‘Easy’ difficulty Job Board Contracts.

Stability

· Fixed an issue on GeForce NOW where downloading a micro-patch prevented the game from launching. [Player reported ] (This was a rough one to fix, but it's finally dealt with)

· Fixed an issue causing players to encounter multiple errors and fail to join games due to them still using the older build. [Player reported ] (We've made it so that players actually get booted out to Title Screen so that you all go and update the game, there were occasions some people don't get fully booted out when a new client releases.)

· Fixed an issue where players could not rejoin Sea Monster activities after experiencing network disconnections near the end of the event.

Faction War

· Fixed an issue where War Asset drops from War Convoy ships were inconsistent when their routes crossed non-contested territories.

Graphics

· Fixed an issue where flags failed to dither on the Junk Ship when Rockets or Springloaders were equipped.

· Fixed an issue where the Booming Fortune Firework animation was cut off on the player screen. (We paid more money to the fireworks guy, he made sure it shows properly now)

Localization

· Fixed a localization issue where the "Perforate" Mythic Ascension Mod used the same Korean term as the "Pierce" damage type. [Player reported ] (Don't want to confuse people here)

Others

· Various client and server crash fixes.

Ship Loadout

· Fixed an issue where weapon damage values did not increase when using certain weapons under the Adaptive Arsenal seasonal bonus.

· Fixed an issue where Reachwarden Repair Long Guns experienced unusual stacking buffs on healing over time.

Store

· Fixed an issue where the Store Voucher "Voucher Available" label was missing from the Pause Menu for voucher owners.

· Fixed an issue where the Emissive label was missing for the Abysslit Eye Color under the Dreadtide bundle. (That's pretty lit.)

UI/UX

· Fixed an issue where the Seasonal Infamy Leaderboard displayed an incorrect reset timer. (Told you we got better at Maths!)

· Fixed an issue where the event HUD remained stuck on the final stage after completing Heralds of the Abyss.

· Fixed an issue where the scrollbar was non-functional in the Legendary Kingpin Boost information panel.
