Patch 1.11.3 - Patch Notes

Warband!

This patch comes with a couple of bug and crash fixes. We are continuing to work on solving the rest of the known issues list for the next patches.

Patch 1.11.3 is now being rolled out on all platforms, and while you wait for it to download you can read the notes below!

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue that was causing enemies to spawn too early at the start of some missions.
  • Fixed a crash that could happen when a large amount of enemies spawned with additional visual effects added to them.
  • Fixed a crash that could happen while being inside the tornado on Expeditions.
  • Added extra checks to prevent successful Expeditions missions to sometimes register as failures.

Known Issues

  • When hot-joining an expedition, players might enter the mission as dead if it happened while the existing players were leaving a Sanctuary.
  • Players can use some of the new grenades while inside a Sanctuary. Please be nice to the locals.
  • Some of the new items found in Sanctuaries can’t be tagged.
  • Some textures can bug out when playing on AMD GPUs.
  • Players can hot-join private matches if they enter matchmaking through Quickplay. Fix worked on and coming in future hotfix.
  • [Xbox Only] Some level and enemy textures can take a while to load, leaving a low-quality texture visible until it finishes loading.
  • We are investigating increased GPU crash rate related to reenabling of FSR frame gen on AMD Radeon RX 9xxx gen.

That’s all for today!

We’ll see you on the Mourningstar.

This feels like a whole new Fatshark with how often these updates are coming.

Hope the AMD GPU issues get sorted soon

I wish the Expedition weren’t so pointless and were at least a little fun, it’s a shame there won’t be any fixes for this. =_=

“Fixed an issue that was causing enemies to spawn too early at the start of some missions.”
does that also include all the bugged spawns outside of starting areas?

Sad the spawns got removed from the starting points.

Really? The game being better because of early spawns was a bug? Wow…

What about Valkyrie support server crashes? Hidden or upcoming?

The early spawn of enemies was good. We need more changes like that to make havocs more difficult for us and this change did that in a non-BS way

Please fix this bug as soon as possible: “We are investigating increased GPU crash rate related to reenabling of FSR frame gen on AMD Radeon RX 9xxx gen” — I’m using an RX 9060 XT graphics card, and the game crashes every time I turn on FSR frame generation.

In havoc it wasn’t a particularly good thing, especiallt on Gloriana imo, but I guess it was welccome in auric since it’s a relatively easy mode with some times spent in the game

Enemies showing up early was a bug? i loved that! I thought it was intentional! the beginning of missions can be a slog, but the enemies actually trying to stop us? I really thought that was intentional since at the same time - enemies showed up in prisons in that one assassination mission - the magistrati oubliette? I hope that wasn’t a bug, I thought it was a cool detail that even the scabs would have some people in prison lol.

But yeah, I thought they actually noticed us and were trying to stop us for once, usually they just stand around doing nothing until I walk up to them - the “bug” actually made the start of missions interesting, and made it seem that the enemies actually do want to stop us.

I can see why in havoc this might annoy people like others have said, but it should stay in all other modes

I love the beginning of havoc Gloriana, minus the pointless mutie and hound waves that spawn before you reach the drop down. I can understand the frustration if deranking is the issue though, loss streaks can happen too fast. Hate on the annoying rank system rather than a challenging portion of the map.

In auric though, that section is a rando meatgrinder. Amazing to watch how quickly you can cycle through your entire fireteam as randoms dc and more come to take their place.

Rest assured we are treating this as a priority. To help us identify whether this is isolated to a certain driver version, we’re asking if our players with this issue could kindly help us here:

When will the expedition grid points reset and do you get rewards for unlocking grids (crafting materials)?

Is that a fix for the Rotten Armor lobby shut down or something different?
