The studio delayed this hotfix with over a week in order to thoroughly test the changes and bug fixes. Update 5.9.2a is currently scheduled for release on Wednesday 22nd of August 2018. It brings a much-needed fix for the Stronghold delays and lag. The Stronghold decorations will also once again function as a line-of-sight blocking objects. The unintended gap that allowed players to sneak under the Overlook area, has been closed. Another important fix is the one made to the Veteran Mode encounters from Gods from the Machine Operation, which were unintentionally made more difficult.
Maintenance is scheduled for 2 hours – between 13:00 and 15:00 GMT. The patch notes are available below.
- Closed a gap which allowed players to get underneath the Overlook platform in the Rishi Stronghold.
- The Cartel Market image for the Visas Marr armor set is no longer showing the Marka Ragnos belt.
- Despite the best efforts of the yellow team, the Novare Coast scoreboard now properly tracks the score for both teams.
- Wins and losses are now properly tracked after all Ranked Matches (this was fixed on August 7th).
- Dretcher’s Droids in Chapter XIII: Profit and Plunder will no longer reset.
- Corrected an issue where the Veteran Mode Gods From the Machine bosses were harder than intended.
- Players will no longer experience intermittent slowdown while in a Stronghold. (this fix also adds collision and LoS detection back for decorations)
- Using various quick travel abilities will no longer randomly kill players.
- Various character unlocks have been added back into the Cartel Market and will now display their appropriate price instead of “True.”
