Bug Fixes and Other Improvements

Player AC related fixes

• Fixed an issue that occurs when equipping a chargeable shoulder mounted weapon and pressing the shift control button while being staggered, resulting in any attack following the initial stagger to not incur a heavy stagger state on the player. 
• During online play, fixed an issue where players releasing the guard button right before becoming staggered would cause subsequent attacks to not result in a heavy stagger state.
• Fixed an issue where hits would sometimes not register when attacking enemies using Pulse Armor/Terminal Armor with a melee weapon
• Fixed an issue that caused melee attacks to not connect with enemies due to interactions with walls and terrain.
• Fixed an issue that caused player AC to continuously float upwards after recovering from falling out of the map area

Online match related fixes

• In Ranked Matches, the change to rating for S-Rank matches has been adjusted.
  *Specifically, the number of matches required for the rating value to even-out has been increased.
   This is to avoid the the player being repeatedly demoted/promoted shortly after reaching S-Rank.
• Fixed an issue that, under certain circumstances, players not subject to rank resets would be unable to progress past the rank-up results phase

System related fixes

• Fixed issue that caused game to crash after customizing AC via the ASSEMBLY menu.
• Fixed an issue that sometimes occurred after applying WEATHERING via the PAINT menu, resulting in graphical abnormalities as well as game crashes.

Steam version related fixes

• Fixed an issue where in-game movies would not play if the PC's sound device was disabled.
• Fixed an issue where pressing Alt＋Enter to change the screen mode would result in SYSTEM Menu>Graphics Settings not being selectable.
• Fixed an issue that caused the key icons shown within “input device settings>key settings” to not display correctly for certain languages.
