Actively Being Investigated for Potential Hotfixes
► We are investigating the cause of surface mining nodes sometimes not becoming mineable or scanable.
► We have a speculative fix internally for landing gear staying around and causing loads of performance and ground clipping issues.

Using the HOTFIX channel
The HOTFIX channel will become available for periods of time when the client-side of the game needs the hotfix. This channel will point to the LIVE environment and using this will retain and add progress to your LIVE account as if you were playing normally.
The best way to play on HOTFIX is to rename your LIVE folder to HOTFIX and verify using the HOTFIX channel on the launcher. Reverse this process to go back to LIVE once it is released or you would like to stop using this channel.
