Fixed an issue that would allow players to kill AI opponents from their spawn location on Kamino – Capital Supremacy.
Fixed an issue where shooting at the red droid in the platforms on Kessel would cause performance drops.
Fixed an issue that could cause the TX-130 to spawn under the AT-TE spawn location on Geonosis – Galactic Assault.
Fixed a visual issue with the shadow of the HMP Gunship Droid during the Boarding cinematics on Geonosis – Capital Supremacy when the PC Graphic settings were set to Medium or Low.

Fixed an issue that caused the ingenious Star card not to grant the proper reload speed at any rarity above Common.

Fixed an issue where the use of a weapon locked in Arcade would cause an unavailable weapon to be selected during the weapon equipment menu on the generation screen.

DROIDEKA

Fixed an issue that would occasionally cause the Droideka to shake uncontrollably when affected by Anakin’s Retribution ability.
Fixed an issue where Droideka would occasionally get stuck in Overheated animation when using the Overload ability.

ASSAULT

Fixed an issue where respawning or dying would incorrectly count as a kill for the purposes of the “Assault Vanguard” Milestone.

Fixed a visual issue where the destroyed versions of the AAT and STAP vehicles with the blue livery, would be replaced with their default livery.

Boba Fett’s jetpack fuel now displays the amount of fuel constantly when dodging or replenishing. Previously this was updating only every second and led to misunderstandings about the amount consumed.

DARTH VADER

Fixed an issue that would block players from dodging out of Darth Vader’s Force Choke area of impact.
Fixed a text issue with Darth Vader’s Punishing Grip Star Card. The effect description “TIGHTER GRIP” is now replaced by “INCREASED ACTIVE TIME”.

Reduced the camera shake caused by Emperor Palpatine’s lighting attacks on his target.

KYLO REN

Fixed an issue where Lightsaber deflect VFX would not always appear when using Frenzy on a Lightsaber-carrying Hero who is deflecting.

GENERAL CHANGES/MISC

Fixed a text issue with the description of the 501st Legion appearances bundle.
Fixed an issue with the description of the “These are Your First Steps” milestone to more accurately describe the Heroes who needed to be defeated to progress on the milestone.
