A new patch is now available for [i]Primal Carnage: Extinction[/i] on Steam, fixing additional bugs reported after [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/321360/view/4518891123304245992][b]Version 3.0[/b][/url] and bringing extra improvements. [h2][b]Patch Highlights[/b][/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/7077945/c06db91247244a8733ac608c460aec78ecd3644e.jpg[/img] [b]Five more maps have been re-added [/b] with today's game patch, including 4 community maps. These have not received as extensive overhauls as the maps already included in Version 3.0, but they have still seen a number of fixes, tweaks and optimizations. [b]Assault rifle balance [/b] is a focus this time, after the recent hit detection improvements. It now has higher spread when fired full auto and damage falls off quicker over distance, to compensate for increased chance of shots landing on target. The AR is the first of several weapons that will be re-adjusted based on community feedback, so you can expect more refinements in next week's patch. We've also made more fixes to flight, but will be fine tuning things further with deeper code optimizations coming up.
