• In rare cases, it’s possible that the game can still crash during running around in the world or use teleport and such.

• An object dropped by the Eclipse can fall through the ground
• The guardian from the Shuttle’s Outpost can be incorrectly positioned behind the corruption barriers (Workaround: Leave the wider area and go back so that it will be reloaded)
• Possible that an enemy can be stuck inside the ground if you start a recruitment event
• The container doors from the Shipland outpost are doubled blocking the enemies or the character to go in/outside
• Followers can show a broken behaviour if you assign them to an expedition or similar while they are busy with special animations like a sweep.
