These include the fix for corrupted text displaying “?” for some characters when Traditional Chinese language has been selected. The Plasma Punisher not being able to fire from the SH-32 Shield Generator Pack and the FX-12 Shield Generator has also been fixed.

The Quasar Cannon now has the correct heat change on hot and cold planets. Fixed an issue that caused Spore Spewer to appear purple on some planets.

Pink question marks in missions on planets will no longer appear. A few other issues have also been fixed, in addition to those mentioned above. Arrowhead has been consistent with the title's post-launch support, but it appears the team is improving the game to deliver what it promised fans.
