SAVE THE WORLD

WEAPONS + ITEMS

GENERAL

Bug Fixes

• Players with their reticle on stairs will no longer enter edit mode for an unintended building piece. 
  • In v10.30, we addressed an issue in which players would sometimes enter edit mode for a building piece that their reticle was not on. However, players may have still found themselves entering edit mode for a different building piece than intended if their reticle was on stairs. This has been resolved.
• Removed black borders on the iPad 2018 Pro.
