Deep Rock Galactic received patch S06.04 with targeted fixes for Pitjaws and rare issues affecting Heavy Extraction. The developer signed the notes as the Ghost Ship Crew and listed several adjustments meant to reduce stutters and stop players from getting stuck during pod drops and encounters.
Deep Rock Galactic Patch Notes S06.04
This patch focuses on the Pitjaw enemy and the lift pod. The biggest technical change is moving Pitjaw relocation logic into level generation to cut down on stuttering in missions where the enemy appears. The update also reduces incidents where falling resinite or lift pod placement could block players or spawn inside important level elements.
Below are the notes reproduced from the developer.
- Adjusted collision on lift pod to prevent players getting stuck
- Added fallback to lift pod positioning
- Moved pit jaw relocation logic to level generation, reducing stutters in levels that have the enemy
- Added a 2s grace period after relocation where the pit jaw won’t target players
- Prevent resinite mass from spawning in path of drop pod and prevent important level elements from spawning in path of resinite mass
- Prevented lift pod from spawning near player spawn
- Fix relic raider firstperson arms disappearing when look up and down
