Bug Fixes:

Fixed a bug that caused certain enemies or enemy actions to get stuck on terrain during the mission “Intercept the Redguns”.

Fixed a bug that caused enemies to stop appearing when the player stands in a certain spot during the mission “Escort the Weaponized Mining Ship”.

Fixed a bug that caused defeated enemies to remain visible on radar during the mission “Breach the Karman Line”.

Fixed a bug that caused the second shot of certain burst fire weapons to veer heavily off-target when fired while performing a drift turn on Tank legs.

Fixed a bug that caused boost to disable under certain conditions with Tetrapod legs equipped.
Fixed a bug that occurred with the “VP-66LS” laser shotgun equipped to the left hand, which caused a longer delay than intended between firing a charge shot and being able to fire a normal shot again.

Fixed a bug with the “VP-60LT” laser turret, where it would not respond to the sub-generators during the mission “Destroy the Weaponized Mining Ship”.

Fixed a bug that occurred while reloading the “Vvc-700LD” laser drone, which caused player AC orientation to lock to a target, even with Target Assist disabled.

Fixed a bug that caused incorrect icons to be displayed for intended damage type or reload type in the part specs for certain weapon parts.

Adjusted the timing window of being able to use repair kits while firing certain weapons.

Fixed a bug with certain melee weapons that caused the “Chg. Attack Power” parameter to display an unintended value in the part specs shown via “Toggle Display”.

Fixed a bug that occurred after firing a charge shot during assault boost, which caused a consecutive normal shot to fire unintentionally.

Fixed a bug that prevented damage caused by status effects from being displayed on the HUD.

Fixed a bug that caused the game to crash from the “AC Data” menu in certain situations.

Due to behavioral issues in photo mode, removed the “Motion Blur” option and added the “Camera Blur” option. *NB: We plan to restore the Motion Blur option in a future update.

Fixed a bug that prevented Trophies/Achievements from unlocking under certain circumstances if unlock requirements involved acquiring parts. *NB: If any of the following Trophies/Achievements fails to unlock, go to the Shop menu and sell any part from the relevant category. Buying the part back again will trigger the unlock. “Weapon Collector” “External Parts Collector” “Internal Parts Collector”

Changed behavior in online match rooms, so that players are informed when the match is starting even while they have another menu open (e.g. Assembly).

Fixed a bug that caused screen transitions to behave incorrectly when launching the game by accepting an online match invite.

Other performance improvements and minor bug fixes.

The full patch notes can be found here.

Patch 1.03 has relatively little changes compared to the previous patch, but players can at least expect a smoother gameplay experience as a result of all the bug fixes.
