Known Issues

Graphical

• UI death screen offset.
• UI death screen timer.
• Battery distance to arm too long.
• Aiming offset needs fixing on reticule.
• Static daytime pose for Mantis floats above ground slightly.
• Iron sights animation pose jitters slightly.

Gameplay

• Mantises sometimes ignore player.
• Rocks are not always spawned by asteroids.
• Base Attack warning delayed.
• Limited number of Mantises moving in closed state during day.
• Pig spits 2 batteries per rock.
• Healthy generators batteries even at 100% health.
• Asteroid-spawned resources currently are large in number and may affect frame-rate.

Misc.

• The Unreal Engine garbage collection may cause issues with workers and/or clients failing. This may require players to reconnect.
• The workers/unreal/SourceOverrides folder currently replaces certain files from the SpatialOS Unreal SDK. This contains bug-fixes and stability improvements that will be made part of the next SpatialOS Unreal SDK release.
