This client and server hotfix for the LIVE environment includes fixes for audio thread framerate issues (linux), water shading and buffer issues with ships, upscaling issues for holographics, super heavy armor cannot be unequipped to local inventory, Mendo Ren falling off the balcony during encounter as well as taking damage from the world and dying randomly after teleport, and further client and server crash and stability fixes.

Teams also have ongoing investigations for the current long interaction delays with many systems in the game and we will update once we have more news.


Using the HOTFIX channel
The HOTFIX channel will become available for periods of time when the client-side of the game needs the hotfix. This channel will point to the LIVE environment and using this will retain and add progress to your LIVE account as if you were playing normally.
The best way to play on the HOTFIX channel, when one is available, is to rename your LIVE folder to HOTFIX and verify using the HOTFIX channel on the launcher. Reverse this process to go back to LIVE once it is released or you would like to stop using this channel.
