Deep Rock Galactic 1.40 Update Patch Notes
Turns out the Corruptor caused late-joining dwarves to see minerals and terrain that were no more – It is now back to only corrupting Hoxxes.
With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew
— PATCH NOTES —
– Fixed a bug that caused minerals and carved terrain to become desynced between host and late- joining clients, if the corruptor was present in the level.
– Fixed a bug where the Stingtail would sometimes fling players way too high
– Fixed a bug that caused the season countdown timer to be visible if the game is offline/lost connection to the backend
This patch includes the 2018 Legacy Edition (if you are wondering why the game doubled in size – that’s the reason), the return of the paper crow, and Promoting a dwarf will now award the player with 1 Blank core, 1 Weapon Overclock core, and 1 Cosmetic core, so get mining miners!
Please note that these Promotion changes are not retroactive, so you will not be rewarded for past promotions.
— PATCH NOTES —
– Returned the paper crown that went missing the last patch
– Changed promotion rewards: From this point on, promoting a dwarf will also reward 1 Blank core, 1 Weapon Overclock core, and 1 Cosmetic core
