SCUM Hotfix 1.3.6.1.177547 Reverts Vehicle Prediction Change
The rollback addresses unintended vehicle movement, but certain collisions can still launch vehicles or cause unusually variable damage.
SCUM Hotfix 1.3.6.1.177547 reverses the November update’s vehicle network prediction change after it caused unintended movement and physics problems, according to the Steam hotfix announcement. The patch also fixes camera switching while driving and corrects Steam’s default controller template.
The vehicle rollback does not clear every collision problem. Certain impacts can still launch vehicles into the air, and damage may vary more than expected. Gamepires says it is continuing to investigate and test further changes.
Controller support was one of the features Gamepires previewed for the November update in its Nov. 6 update preview. The hotfix corrects a default Steam Input setting that had stopped some controllers from working automatically.
