For full details, please see the Battle Simulator web page. http://www.entropiauniverse.com/entropia-universe/battle-simulator/index.xml Physically based rendering (PBR) has been implemented. There is now a message at the start of a Dynamic instances that says it has extra loot that can be claimed. Fixes The ‘Create’ button in the Support Center interface now opens the EntropiaUniverse.com support web page. Fixed an issue causing the shader cache not to work as intended in some situations. Fixed missing parts of space warp effects. Fixed an issue causing effects flickering, for example upon avatar death. Fixed an issue causing friend request messages not to be displayed. Fixed an issue causing deteriorated items to be shown as quest rewards. Fixed an issue causing equipped items to be unequipped regardless of what option is selected in the conflicting items dialog. Fixed an issue causing chat window focus to be lost upon completion of mindforce chip upload.

Avatars will become stuck when entering the Battle Simulator while the crafting interface is active. After destroying the turret at beginning of third zone of the Battle Simulator, a red dot may remain visible on radar. It still counts as destroyed and the zone can be completed.
