The two fixes that will matter most to anyone grinding creature battles: a soft-lock that could freeze the game during holo-arena setup is gone, and the cooldown reset bug, where abilities that reset cooldowns were also resetting their own, has been corrected. That second one was a meaningful exploit, and fixing it will shift how some battle strategies play out. Hello Games also addressed creatures showing incorrect visual effects, the wrong creature appearing on team selection, and pets displaying as over max level after fights, all of which were the kind of visual noise that erodes trust in a new mode.

Outside the arena, there are fixes for base building in corvettes, a missing construction terminal in Settlements, and a terrain tessellation bug causing dark patches. Per the official patch notes, Hello Games says more patches are coming as issues are identified. Here's everything that changed.
