If your community server was impacted by the duplicated objects through object spawner usage, we are highly recommending to wipe your server contents – or revert to a previous storage version – to assure game stability. Not following this procedure can result in severe instabilities.

• Vehicle could fall through structures after a server restart
• Fixed a desynchronization related to the placement system
• Adjusted several problematic ladders in Chernarus
• It was possible to catch both types of fish at any water source
• Interactions with water were not possible at deeper levels
• Melee finisher attacks were ruining vests and backpacks of infected
• Weapons would become bugged when attempting to load bullets from a ruined magazine
• The player camera could shake heavily when colliding with other entities
• The 3rd person camera could clip with objects during vaulting
• The camera shortly zoomed out and in when sprinting and turning from side to side

SERVER

• Fixed: Spawning objects with _DE-suffix by Object Spawner could result in them being duplicated with every server restart

KNOWN ISSUES

• Weapons that in previous version were bugged due to loading a bullet from a ruined magazine need to chamber a bullet to function again
