Update 1.2 "Conflict" patch notes

[Big Grumper]

Speaking from experience? 

Anyway, I didn't get as much of a "go" as I'd have liked but still tried a few things. Here are some thoughts:

1. The patch was as buggy as hell. I couldn't do the new incursion as it kept resetting. The sound thing was on a repeat loop and I had to mute it in the end. I grew tired of being told I was "leaving a contaminated zone" or that "warnimg: more hostiles are incoming". 
   
2. I like the search & destroy missions and they vary quite considerably: one or two purples, or half-a-dozen shotgun-toting Elites. It makes a difference. The rewards appear quite poor though; I've had nothing higher than 163 GS rewarded thus far. 
   
3. As for the HVTs I haven't tried any yet.

Search and Destroy missions are meant to help gear up pre-163 players.  HVT are meant for gearing up post-163 players.  Bluebird dropped a 182 shotgun for me and a 214 Lone Star for Darcy last night.  I know the Weekly HRT Missions have been dropping 240 pieces on the higher end as well.  Praise RN-Geezus.

OK, that makes sense. Those pre-163 guys might find it tough when faced with a gang of Elites.

Fixed a bug where the Small RDS Scope Mod would not roll weapon damage bonus, even though it was stated in the blueprint as a guaranteed stat.

This still isn't fixed. I crafted 3 of them after the patch was released and none of them rolled with weapon dmg.

Does anyone know if they rolled out any hotfixes with the recent server maintenance. The UI bug is absolutely terrible and gives me a slight headache when I get it.

all they did was reinstate daily missions

 

[ESGN]

That's good, but I sure hope they get to the UI fix soon. Not only is it hard to read, but it reports bad values on your gear making it hard to swap to newly acquired pieces. It actually reported - armor numbers on my gear last night, although it had no in-game effect.

Yeah, waiting patiently for that. Makes disassembly a nerve racking task.

We will have another maintenance later (27th) and here's the hotfix, from Ubisoft forum

Fixed a bug where players would be able to obtain the reward from High Value Target bosses after failing the mission. 

So no. UI bug stays longer of course and they'll fix another. lol

Previous maintenance (26th) fixed Daily Mission

I'll have to look on YouTube for the UI bug as I don't experience it so struggle to work out the issue myself. I can understand them fixing that one urgently though....its an exploit but as its an accidental one they can't tell if players are using it to farm deliberately or just a happy accident. 

 

[supercat]

I experience UI bug too on PS4, but it's not really severe case.

But one thing I'm really annoyed is that now notification will be said at least twice and can go up to four times.

"Warning: Entering Dark Zone"

ok

"Caution: Entering Dark Zone"

sure

"Transmission jammed. Proximity coverage only..."

yea, I heard it

"Backup activated. System rebooted. Warning Entering Dark Zone"

f*cking f*ck shut the f*ck up!!!!

On the State of the Game, they said that they'd be releasing a downloadable patch for PC/PS4 at the end of this week and Xbox beginning of next week to fix the UI bug.

Whoo hoo..

Mostly it is just annoying. Though in a HRT I had run out of ammo, and simply wanted to switch weapons. Next to impossible. Somehow my AK was loaded as my pistol. And my pistol was my secondary. lol @RimBlock had to do most of the shooting at that point whilst I'm stuffing about with my inventory.

I actually just noticed Hamish said about an hour ago that the PC fix released now I think.  You just have to exit out of the game and restart so you can get the client patch.  So good news for the PC people!  PS4/Xbox going through next week.

I jumped in with some "randoms" earlier and did a few S&D missions. It was fun. We then tried Clear Sky and it was a massive fail! The fourth guy kinda bugged out and left us to it. We got destroyed. ?

Wondered why you went a bit quiet .

I got hit with it before we teamed up and ended up deconstructing a 214 gear set item i wanted to look at.

After reatarting the game the ui was fine again.
