Hello Martians,

we got another patch for you! This time we have some long-coming AI fixes, as well as slight quality improvements. We should also have a final fix for the protocol issues. Finally we added back the server ping in the server browser.

Here is the full list of changes:

Changelog for Season 8 Patch 8
- Fixed Server crash
- First batch of fixes for the inventory duplication/disappearance bugs. We have a server-side fix, but clients might still show wrong data. A work-around is a relog, as the server has the correct data at least.
- Fixed more stuttering issues with the boss, drone and general AI
- Fixed client crash
- Fixed bug where buildings were sometimes not interactable because the rank wasn't correctly initialized
- Fixed FlopsEvent notifications for enter, leaving and claiming being queued up way too often
- Wieldables will now prioritize empty slots with ghosts over the currently selected slot when they are auto equipped.
- Fixed bug where armor items would disappear when being swapped with items from a container.
- Added colored tool icons for easier differentiation
- Fix an issue where the protocol categories are set as completed but protocols and objectives are not. Warning: This might cause already completed, but bugged protocols to be set to claimed without you actually claiming the protocol first. If this happens, let us know and we will send the rewards manually!
- Fixed bug where you are not able to build the foundation at the end of the tutorial.
- Ping of servers is back
- Fixed AIs not being able to set initial movement mode.
- Fixed vaulting AIs never continue moving.
- Fixed AIs vaulting through intact windows.
- Red damage indicators for AI enemies are working now.
- Sort by type now works better.

This is one of the last few patches (one or two remaining) before we will go into a short Christmas break. We want to have a stable version ready for the holidays so you guys can play without much interference and we are getting closer and closer. We try to fit in as many bugs and issues as we can, but some more difficult ones might have to wait until early next year.

Thank you and have a nice day,
The Dev Team
