As promised yesterday, here is hotfix #45 (1.4.11). It is live now on Steam and it will shortly go live on our other platforms.
Fixes
Fixed a server crash issue related to a player taking damage from a projectile or the environment when they were dead or knocked down.
Fixed an issue in the Orthus Offensive special assignment where one of the twins could double spawn.
Known Issues
We have a known issue of certain blessings (like Shattering Impact) showing an undefined text description. The cause has been identified and we’re working on a fix for this, as well.
We also have a known issue of certain advanced circumstances not working properly (e.g. No Ammo modifier). We are working on a fix for this. In the meantime, we’re going to disable these on the mission board.
My speculation for a new faction would be late next year like September 2025. The only reason I say that: as of right now they are developing these stories of Rinda becoming the Dreg Herald Of Admonition, which is the Cult Of Nurgle on Tertium, and also the story of Operative Swagger which can possibly lead us to something you are seeking
