**Developer Patch Hotfix 2017/05/11**

*We are rolling out a quick hotfix to fix some major issues related to last patch and release some improvements based on feedback from our players.*

### GENERAL UPDATES

* Fixed ﻿the ﻿missing texture issues of one of the Average Joe body's.
* Patched Laggswitch. Af﻿ter receiving a lot of complaints from our community we have looked into the Laggswitch problem and developed a system to prevent people using this.﻿
+ For players wondering what Laggswitch is, Laggswitch is basically a program where players would cut out their internet connection for a few seconds so that they can instantly kill other players or teleport or more.
+ Players abusing this have been a major problem in the ga﻿me and therefor we are really happy we have now developed a system that prevents players from being able to do this.
+ Players using Laggswitch had an advantage over the 'legit' players and that should have never been like that. Now having a bad connection or interrupting your connection is a disadvantage for yourself and will o﻿nly affect you.

* Updated the italian language pack. (Fixed some spelling mistakes etc.

### BATTLE ROYALE UPDATES

* Added a visual indicator on the minimap showing where the next safe zone is going to be. (Players have been requesting this)
* Players now have 5 minutes of play time until the first radiation is released instead of 3 minutes.
* Fixed an issue related to the Battle Royale safezone detection. Safe zones adapt better now avoiding players to randomly all of a sudden be too far away from the safe zone in the beginning.

### SKIN UPDATES

* Fixed / Reworked the Elite Skinbox store icon. (Look overall way cooler and has a better quality now)
* Fixed / Updated the scope of the AWP Red Strike. The weapon now uses the right scope.
* Fixed / Updated the store icon of the AWP Red Strike.
* Fixed / Updated the textures of the FN Scar Elite.
* Fixed / Updated the textures of the NVG Red Strike. (The white colors are more solid white now)
* Fixed / Updated the description of the Heavy Armor Fairy Tale.
* Fixed issues related to the Heavy Armor Fairy Tale. When unskinning / skinning this skin now it will be a heavy armor instead of a custom guerilla.

### ITEM UPDATES

* Added a new Country Riot Shield: Riot Shield Singapore.
* Attachments ﻿are now disabled on the skinned versions of AK47 too. (We forgot to do this earlier)
* Fixed the missing texture issues of the pineapple model.
* Fixed the missing texture issues of the bada boom model.
* Fixed the missing store icon issue of the Riot Shield NP2.
* Fixed the missing SVD reload sound.﻿
* Renamed the "Light Sword Rainbow" to "Pride Sw﻿ord".
* Renamed all the "Heavy Gear" armors to "Heavy Armor". The names of these armors were kind of messed up as some were called "Heavy" and some were called "Gear".﻿

### MAP UPDATES

* **Arena**﻿
+ Fixed an issue causing players not being able to receive group invites. Now players can group normally on this map.

* **Tropico**﻿
+ Added the missing painkiller med spawns to the medical loot table.
+ Fixed player spawns in the lobby where players would spawn on top of trees.
+ Fixed the train rails models. (Train rails didn't have physics.)
+ Increased attachment spawns due too less attachments spawning in general.
+ Increased loot in the spawn area. (Middle military cra﻿te area)
+ Reduced medical spawns a tiny bit since there was a little bit too many medical item spawns.
+ Reduced armor spawns a tiny bit since there was a little bit too many of these either.
+ Zombies no longer drop shields. Zombie loot tables have been adjus﻿ted.
+ Removed antenna models from the entire map due texture problems.

* **Colorado V2**﻿
+ Fixed the outdated minimap problem. The minimap is now updated again.

**W﻿e will keep working hard on improving the game﻿ / fixing crashes, developing the new game modes and keep adding new content to the game. We will do our best to keep releasing patches and hotfixes more frequently so that you guys have the best po﻿ssible exper﻿ience with the g﻿a﻿me﻿.**

**The hotfix wil﻿l roll out any time from now. Server downtime will be very﻿ short.**
