Fixes and Optimizations

Heroes

• Rogue Range Protocol: Fixed an issue where turning off target movement in the Practice Range parameters and then starting a training session could still spawn moving bots. We’ve tightened up the subroutines; they’ll stay put now!
• Storm & Thor’s Targeting Turbulence: Fixed a visual glitch where the camera animation for the Gods of Thunder (Storm – Thor) base effect Team-Up Ability was unintentionally throwing off aim. The skies are clear and Storm’s striking true once again!
• Combat Clarity Upgrade: We’ve dialed in the visual effects for a lineup of heroes to cut down on battlefield chaos and keep your superhero clashes crisp and clear. These visual optimizations include:
  • All of Jubilee‘s base abilities.
  • Mr. & Mrs. X (Rogue – Gambit)
  • Explosive Entanglement (Rogue – Magneto)
  • Voltaic Union (Captain America – Thor)
  • Two-in-One (The Thing – Human Torch)
  • Gamma Maelstrom (Doctor Strange – Hulk)
  • Surf & Turf (Devil Dinosaur – Jeff the Land Shark)
  • Vibrant Vitality (Loki – Mantis)
  • Planet X Pals (Rocket Raccoon – Groot)
  • Mammalian Bond (Rocket Raccoon – Squirrel Girl)
  • Oblivion Shroud (Cloak & Dagger – The Hood)
  • Favorable Odds (Gambit – Magneto)
  • Gods of Thunder (Storm – Thor)
  • Storming Ignition (Human Torch – Storm)
  • Moonlit Slash (Hawkeye – Cloak & Dagger)
  • Squirrel Missile (Squirrel Girl – Iron Man)
  • Light & Dark Darts (Psylocke – Cloak & Dagger)
  • Devilish Affair (Daredevil – Black Widow)
  • Hex Fireworks (Scarlet Witch – Jubilee)
  • Prehistoric Trap (Elsa Bloodstone – Devil Dinosaur)
• In addition to these, we’ve optimized the visual effects for lots of other Team-Up Abilities as well. The list is extensive, so we won’t detail every single one here; just know the battlefield is looking clean! We’ll keep the Scanner running and make ongoing optimizations. As always, we welcome and appreciate your feedback and suggestions!

System

• Dusted for prints and swept away a few minor bugs causing issues in the Death of Apocalypse mini-game. Unraveling the mysteries of En Sabah Nur’s demise will now proceed without a hitch.

Console

• Addressed a bug on Xbox where the trophy overview progress was desynced from actual completion after unlocking an achievement. Your gamer score now displays flawlessly!
