Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
I wanted to fix some user bug reports, thanks to everyone who reported!
-Fixed hat pickups showing the wrong name.
-Fixed some broken localization text
-Reports indicated randomizing spawns for bonus scans often broke them or spoiled the intent of the challenge, so random spawns are for base scans only now.
-Fixed swapping from lift grenade to explosive grenade using radial menu.
-Toggle surf now also applies to sprinting.
Another big day for Echo Point Nova fans, the New Game Plus update is now live!

To start NG+ just make a new game, you'll need a save that has beat the final boss. Under the Clouds NG+ is not supported yet but I can add in a future update!
Huge thanks to everyone for supporting Echo Point Nova and spreading the word, stuff like that makes updates like this possible!

Misc patch notes:
Buffed bergmann shotgun
Small nerf to mech cannon fire rate
Buffed swimming speed
Improved icons throughout UI
Expanded enemy spawn pool in Rogue mode to include Under The Cloud enemy types
Fix crash when running a weapons locked challenge without having a matching weapon
Fixed feet shuffle glitch in character menu
Fixed some players feet not moving in coop mode
Added some more visual variety to lava biome with adjusted color filters and different landscape materials
Reduced some desync issues for enemies on colossi during coop play.
Cleaned up some story dialogue.
Hi everyone, just fixing some reported bugs!
-Fix for crash when co-op client entered inventory while surfing
-Fix for softlock when players using hybrid gamepad/mouse controls accessed weapon wheel
-Fix for players sometimes losing abilities after dying in Under The Clouds
1.121 Hi everyone, just a couple of fixes for reported bugs! -Fix rogue finale achievement not unlocking when beating rogue in Under The Clouds (If this happened to you make sure the main menu says version 1.121, then load the save then go to pause menu -> settings -> gameplay -> refresh achievements.) -Fixed incorrect totals in load profile menu along with completionist badge not showing for Under The Clouds
-Added more shaders to the precompilation that happens behind the scenes in the main menu, this should reduce stutters for new players, and maybe some returning players too. Note that Unreal Engine 4 doesn’t support this for some raytracing shaders, so RT players may get stutters on occasion (but once the stutters happen the shader gets saved and it shouldn’t happen in future plays).
-Reduced resolution on some new textures like submarine and deployable lift.
Just a small patch to address some high priority bug reports. Thanks to everyone who played and to everyone who reported these bugs!
- Add 10 second cooldown for taking lava damage after spawning, should fix problems with respawning during lava challenges in co-op
- XRay highlights now properly disabled for dead enemies
- Reduced volume of drill mech engine sound
- Removed pistols only challenge from aquatic arena bonus scan
- Made secrets in UTC starting zone more obvious
- Completing expansion pack now grants gold weapon skins
- Player taking damage sound and low health warning sound no longer uses underwater sound filter when underwater
- Fix softlock when workshop level is marked as “final zone”
- UTC workshop levels start unlocked
- Fix a crash when a player or npc surfs before gamestate is replicated

New sniper rifle, and tweaks to old sniper rifle.
I've moved the DMR sniper rifle to the assault rifle category and extended it's magazine, so it plays like a semi-auto battle rifle now. In it's place is the new MR3006 bolt action sniper rifle!
