All Platforms – Maps and Modes:
- Fixed several terrain issues that could cause characters to become stuck or clip into strange areas.
All Platforms – Heroes:
- Wolverine's Claw-some Comeback: Fixed an issue where Wolverine's Ultimate Ability landing sometimes wouldn't finish properly in poor network conditions. Now, the best there is at what he does can unleash his fury without any hiccups!
- Fastball Fumble: Resolved an issue where Wolverine could sometimes be unable to control his direction during the Fastball Special after using it multiple times. Now, every throw will be a claw-some hit!
- Banner's Hulk Smash Fix: Resolved a rare model display issue that could sometimes occur when Bruce Banner transformed in terrain kill zones. Now, when the good doctor gets angry, he won't just smash; he'll do it with style—HULK SMASH, without the visual chaos!
- The Thing's Rocky Report: Corrected the ability icon error in the KO Prompt when the Thing's Ultimate Ability causes terrain kills. Now, when he brings the pain, the prompt will accurately reflect the mayhem.
- Spider-Island Resurrection Reboot: Fixed an issue where Adam Warlock could accidentally resurrect teammates in the out-of-play area on Spider-Islands. Now, teammates will return to solid ground instead of being stuck in limbo!
