A fresh hotfix for SCUM squashes critical server crashes and fixes a nasty vehicle exploit that let players bypass base defences.

SCUM's hotfix 1.3.2.1 landed today to clean up the fallout from last month's July Update. The focus here is stability and exploit closure rather than new features, which makes sense given the crash reports flooding in.

The headline fixes target server stability. There's a server crash that could happen when a client quit immediately after connecting, and a client crash that occurred when another player ate the last bite of shared food. Vehicle physics at high speed also caused crashes, and that's now addressed. More pressingly, there was a bug where vehicles could be accessed through base building floors from adjacent levels, which completely undermined base security on PvP servers. That's sealed.

Weapon sight misalignments get attention too. The Blackline Compound Bow, VHS2, Hunter Recurve Bow, and Ripper Bow all had camera clipping or aiming offset issues that are now corrected. On the inventory side, loot from Cargo Drops wouldn't move into your inventory, and certain clothing items took up wrong amounts of space. Quest completion bugs also get a look-in, particularly kill quests that wouldn't register if you used the wrong weapon type initially. The full list, including every vehicle lock and monocular zoom fix, is below.
