Update 1.000.005 is now live on ARC Raiders, and Embark has released the first post-release patch to fix some of the major issues that players have encountered on day one.
While the general performance on the first day has been pretty consistent, players have encountered occasional stutters, FPS drops, and server-related issues. Most of those problems should now be resolved. Let's look at what to expect from the new patch and how it could affect your gameplay.
Complete ARC Raiders Update 1.000.0005 patch notes
Most of the new patch is all about better optimization and quashing the bugs that players have encountered. While issues that caused crashes have been fixed, solutions have also been rolled out for the proximity voice feature.
- Fixed the robotic proximity voice.
- Fixed so the proximity VoIP UI always shows while speaking.
If you benefited from accidental key drops, look away as Embark has fixed such instances.
- Fixed incorrect drop chances for keys in certain circumstances.
Critical issues related to memory leaks have also been fixed, which were being caused by Steam avatars.
- Fixed a memory leak caused by Steam avatar pictures.
- Fixed a bug where Steam avatars wouldn't show up on the social tab.
Incidentally, Augments continue to remain a mess. While the latest patch had fixes for the problems, Embark has since then rolled back four changes.
- Fixed an issue where the Augment Effects didn't work.
- Fixed a bug where the Augment Effect wouldn't work when equipping another quick use item.
- Added charge progress hint for integrated shield repair.
- Fixed a bug where the health regen augment skills wouldn't work if triggered while DBNO.
As of writing, the update is yet to become available on Xbox. We don't know the reason, but Embark is actively working on the problems. A few more changes are part of this patch, and you can find the complete set of tweaks on the official Discord under game announcements.
