Alpha Update #8, Bugfix dump!
AirMech Wastelands Patch Notes — December 1, 2017
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Build 68542 was pushed live and has some nice fixes. Our crashdump system is now able to report back problems in a more useful way, so we can get reports and fix crashes without players needing to say anything. If you do crash, it helps us if you launch the game once more before finishing playing so it can send us the crash data.
Desyncs are another thing that we have automatic reporting for, so now with the game being played by more people, combinations of things are popping up that cause desyncs but we are able to squash them quickly.
This is more of a hardcore player thing, but Void Mechs have been updated/fixed to be able to gain levels now. They gain XP as you do, and cannot be leveled up any other way. They are quite powerful, but have one major drawback--when they are destroyed they will lose levels! You really really don't want to die. Currently the loss of levels is not implemented, as we are still discussing how many levels you will loose. Somewhere between reset back to level one and 5 levels probably.
