Hellgate: London No More Invisible Players

Flagship’s latest patch for Hellgate: London is the cure for invisible group members.

Patch 0.6 has one very notable fix – the invisible group member bug has been slain. This was a crafty, fierce thing with rows of nasty sharp teeth, but we believe it has now fallen into the mists of legend. We’ll stay vigilant in case it raises its ugly invisible head again.

We’ve also made great strides on the Engineer Drone issue where items become unequipped. There are some cases where Drones (as well as players), will still have items unequip. The main cause of this is when players “ladder up” the equipment on their Character or Drone by using items with statistic bonuses. This results in the Character or Drone being able to use a better overall set of gear than they normally could, and thus causes issues if the items are not equipped in a specific order (or used at all). We’re continuing to work on this one, but it is better with this patch.

The full patch notes for 0.6 follow the break.

For the next patch Flagship is battling the client-side memory usage issue. Hopefully Techsmith 341 can hammer out the software gremlins on this one as well. Patch 0.71 is already in the works and will fix more player reported bugs as well as adding some treats for subscribers.

Full patch Notes…

General:

• Fixed a bug that caused group members to be invisible to other group members.
• Fixed a texture memory leak that occurred when inspecting armor items. This will improve long-term memory usage, especially for players that frequently buy, sell, and analyze items.

Chat:

• Increased the number of players in global chat.
• The chat window no longer overlaps the Crafter merchant UI panel.
• Fixed a bug that prevented the user from interacting with the chat panel via the mouse when the Buddy List or Guild Panel is open.
• System messages are now displayed in all chat tabs.
• The scroll bar on the Guild Panel should now function properly.

Items:

• Items dropped in the world now have slightly lower overall feed requirements.
• Analyzers now work as expected on stashed items.

Engineers:

• Fixed a bug that caused items equipped on an Engineer Drone to be unequipped when the Engineer summoned the Drone after changing levels.

World Movement:

• Fixed a bug that caused players to be randomly teleported under certain circumstances.
