Last Epoch left Early Access late last month after just over five years in public development. The developers have continued to support the game and this is the latest hotfix released since 1.0 dropped.
The hotfix addressed a number of relatively minor bugs, as well as a UI tweak. Read more below.
Fixed a bug where you could enter a Quest Echo regardless of Stability or Quest completion state
Fixed a bug where a Lost Cache could be opened more than once in multiplayer
Fixed an issue where if multiple characters shared the same name, only the first character with that name was showing on the character selection page.
Fixed a bug where killing some Timeline Quest Bosses too quickly would result in the Quest state not progressing resulting in the Timeline Quest not successfully being completed
Fixed a bug where the benefit from Infernal Shade’s Purgatory could persist through multiple casts of Infernal Shade
Fixed an issue where the Delete prompt on the character select screen would not block clicks, allowing players to change the selected character being deleted.
Moved the online/offline switch to be behind the Delete prompt fade on the Character Selection screen to prevent changing characters while having a delete prompt up.
Fixed a bug where logging into specific characters would result in “LE-52 Lost Connection to Game Server” while other characters would connect without issue
SCUM is a long-running open world survival game with a prison island setting, that has been in Early Access for over 5 years now. The latest update 0.9.520.83173 brings a myriad of a number of bugfixes, QoL additions, and tweaks to the game.
The biggest addition of note is the Raymond Cruz DLC allowing you to play as the eponymous character, complete with model, voice pack, clothing, and handy dandy survival knife.
Here are the complete patch notes for this update.
Hey hey everyone! Surprise! You might be wondering how come there is a lack of regular updates? Well a big majority of the team is working on all the goodies needed for 1.0.

SCUM 0.9.520 Mar 14 Update Squad Probation
We also have another setting up and running. We've been aware of the misuse of alt accounts and multiple squads to circumvent some of the balancing features. To combat this we have implemented squad probation setting. Leaving a squad will now not go without penalties.
When leaving and then rejoining squad you will be placed under probation. While in probation you will not be able to:
Create a new squad.
Access squad based assets such as locked chests.
Your membership will not count towards squad perks such as increased BB element count.
If a squad members are all in probation and leader leaves, the squad will be disbanded.
Settings located under [Features]
scum.SquadMemberCountLimitForPunishment=2
Sets the maximum number of squad mates for which prisoners leaving the squad will not receive any penalties.
scum.RTSquadProbationDuration=1.000000
Sets the number of real time days for which squad probation will last.
scum.SquadMoneyPenaltyPerPrevSquadMember=0
Sets the money penalty prisoner will have to pay per squad member in his previous squad in order to create or join a new squad.

Settings also available on ingame settings menu.
For all settings that influence currency, you can choose whether the price will be in cash or gold. IF you set the value to be 10 it will be 10 cash, but by setting it 10g the price will be in gold.
SCUM 0.9.520 Mar 14 Update Binocular Changes
We added changes to the binoculars as well. Let us be honest here, the binocs were an item you took if you wanted to sell it maybe, since most scopes had better functionalities for scouting anyway. So we added new zoom levels and variable zoom as well. Making it more viable for those scouting runs, especially when you want to travel light.
SCUM 0.9.520 Mar 14 Update Rager Armor
Some new things for your favorite 4 wheel vehicle. The Rager can now be upgraded with not one, but 2 sets of armor!
That is right you have an option between light or heavy!
Light
Heavy
Your choice: do you wish to have light protection but with better speed and handling, or do you want to go in heavy as a brick but also with handling like a brick. (it is not that bad, bud I still wanted to make that joke)

QUINCY, MA — New homeowner, Jessica Weiss, shocked guests with her desperate insistence that guests join in a party game.
“I’ve thrown plenty of parties back in college, but this is my real adult gathering. I wanted it to be fun and classy. I made the perfect playlist, got a nice selection of hard seltzers, and a charcuterie platter from Market Basket. I just needed a sophisticated social game. I researched, watched playthroughs on YouTube, and even went down to the Knight Moves board game cafe to get some expert advice on the best games for a mixed group to socialize and landed on Salem 1692,” Weiss said, frenziedly scrubbing a water ring off her coffee table. “Oh, it’s a great one, it’s like Werewolf, or Mafia, or Secret Hitler set during the Salem witch trials with additional mechanics. It’s super fun. You should play it! Seriously, you’ll love it!”
Weiss’ uncharacteristic exuberance the night of party unnerved the gathered guests.
“Jess is usually a chill and funny presence at the office, so I was happy to attend her housewarming,” said Weiss’ coworker, Carly Siskind. “Her place was nice. But I didn’t get to see any of it because as soon as I arrived Jess ushered me to her dining room table since ‘the game was starting,’ and told me I was her ‘anchor’ and people would be joining in a second. I was getting bored, but I could hear her bouncing around telling people to play, her voice getting higher and higher. After a few minutes, I got up to say something to some people and she screeched at me to sit back down. I felt like a mouse spotted by an owl.”
Experts critiqued Weiss’ approach.
“Passion and enthusiasm are essential for any host,” said Aaron Mulhall, Owner of Party Up In Here Events and Host of the weekly “Cardboard Crack Game Night” at the Banshee. “You can’t be desperate, it’s a complete turnoff. Never introduce a social deduction game in the first hour. You have to drop subtle hints, let them mingle, then see who is wily enough to suss out the witches in Pre-Colonial times.”
Witnesses say after a brief outburst and 10-minute trip to the garage to get ice, Weiss calmed down her gaming agenda. Guests eventually joined for a round, but left to refill drinks when Weiss explained the rules.
Ganondorf is currently set to face trial for his attempted insurrection against Hyrule but claims his position as the King of the Gerudo should grant him full immunity from all charges.
Ganondorf spoke about his position at a rally held for his forces.
“As Gerudo King I can’t be prosecuted for these charges. Crooked Zelda, Sleepy Rauru, and Lying Link are running Hyrule into the ground and spreading the hoax that I am a threat to democracy when the real threat is them,” the monstrous Prince of Darkness said. “I was doing what was best for my people and it’s not like everybody in Hyrule is innocent. ”
Lead prosecutor Impa has refuted these immunity claims saying, “Just because he is Gerudo King does not mean he shouldn’t be held accountable for his attack on Hyrule. If we let him get away with that we might as well give him the triforce.”
Judge Rauru assures Hyrule that whatever the court rules will be what’s best for the kingdom.
“Me and the other Sages are working in the best interest of the entire Kingdom of Hyrule. No matter what, the people of Hyrule can rest assured that we will do whatever it takes to make sure it’ll be a long time before we inevitably let him do this again.”
When asked for his thoughts on the matter, Hero of Hyrule Link had this to say,
“…”
The citizens of Hyrule have reportedly had vastly different opinions on whether Ganondorf should be immune from prosecution. One carpenter from Gerudo valley was ready to forgive the reincarnation of Demise, saying, “He absolutely should have immunity. He’s a King and was just trying to improve Hyrule. The opposition just wants him silenced.”
Others were not so sure.
“I had to close down my shop after his insurrectionists made Hyrule Castle Town unsafe, just because he’s King should not make him above the law,” said Happy Mask Salesman.
At press time, the Sages are preparing a temporary seal to hold Ganondorf just until it’s not their problem anymore.
BOEING PLANE — Flight attendants have finally begun walking up and down the aisle of a flight currently 30,000 feet in the air and handing out little complimentary bags of leftover nuts, bolts, screws, wiring, and other airplane pieces.
“Nuts or bolts? There you go. Nuts or bolts? Enjoy,” the flight attendant said, moving from one passenger to the next. “Is he asleep? Do you want to take his bag of electrical wiring?”
“It’s just nice someone appreciates all this stuff,” the flight attendant added of the complimentary treats after finishing the parts service. “The maintenance guys who used to use it all got laid off months ago so it’s just been sitting gathering dust.”
The free treats were reportedly a welcome change for many frequent flyers aboard the flight, who say airlines have become too stingy with in-flight freebies.
“It was nice that they offered me a complimentary cup of engine coolant — no charge,” Tammi Jones said from seat 34B. “They threw in an entire jug of lubricant completely free. It was unopened and they said they didn’t know what it was for anyways.”
Passengers were also reportedly happy with a special in-flight credit card promotion which allowed new customers to come into the cockpit and break off any piece of the equipment they could manage to carry away.
“I always try to get in on the right promotions — you really have to nowadays,” Helen Burns, 67, said while tucking the plane’s black box into her overhead compartment. “My grandson is going to love this thing.”
As of press time, passengers on the flight were huddled around a single working cellphone taking turns saying goodbye to friends and family one last time.
WWE Superstar Brock Lesnar has been off of television for some time, and a recent rumor indicated that he could be returning soon.
Fans started speculating when they believed that Lesnar’s profile had been added ‘back’ to the active section on WWE.com, although this was not the case.
As reported by Fightful Select: “For those asking, Brock Lesnar was never removed from the online WWE roster page, much less added back.”
Although Lesnar was not named outright in the January lawsuit that was filed against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and WWE, an unnamed former UFC Champion and WWE Superstar was referenced on multiple occasions in the suit from former employee Janel Grant. Lesnar would later be named by the Wall Street Journal.
The fallout of this was massive, and WWE reportedly had to scramble to change plans for WrestleMania without Lesnar’s involvement.
Initially, it was believed that Lesnar would be facing GUNTHER for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania XL, but due to the implications of the upcoming lawsuit, he was removed from WWE programming and there is no official timeframe for his return.

WWE is reportedly considering a big change to their Premium Live Events going forward, with the start time of major shows potentially changing.
According to a new report from Mike Johnson of PWInsider, the company are looking at starting shows earlier going forward, with both nights of WrestleMania XL slated for a 7 PM Eastern start time.
“In speaking to multiple sources, PWInsiderElite.com is told that WWE is looking into potentially moving domestic PPVs to that earlier start time (which it utilized many years ago) but no final determination has been made as of this juncture. It is an experiment in process currently” the site revealed.
Whether the company does decide to move to an earlier start permanently remains to be seen, as this is likely more a move to appease fans in territories like Europe, where the start time for major events is usually around 1 am GMT/BST.
As noted, this is a start time that the company has used in the past, and it would mean that fans in the UK/Europe would be able to watch the action from around 11 pm GMT/BST on the Saturday night rather than from early the next morning.

When entering Main Street Pizza and Sandwiches, three things are impossible to ignore. First is the overwhelming smell of hot, rancid grease. Second is the layer of dirt and grime that covers every visible surface in the establishment. Third is that they got Cruis’n USA, baby!
Main Street has survived all these years not on the strength of its menu, but by its world class entertainment: a single cabinet of the greatest driving simulator ever created near the bathrooms (which seem rarely cleaned and should be avoided, if possible).
This isn’t like the version of Cruis’n USA you have at home. This is real driving, like your dad does in his truck. There’s a wheel and pedals and that stick thing and everything. The only thing missing is the wind in your hair, not that you’ll be thinking about that while you’re playing. Win a race, and you’ll get to see something that’ll blow you away better than any breeze — a hot babe in a bikini. This is the kind of game mom would never let you play at home.
Even if you don’t manage to win, there’s plenty of fun to be had. You know how if you hit a cow in Mario Kart, you just get knocked over? Well, try hitting a cow in Cruis’n USA. Sure, it’ll still slow you down, but you’ll blow that critter into chunks of meat that come flying at the screen, looking not dissimilar to Main Street’s “sausage” topping. It’s always a crowd-pleaser, so the rest of your team will think you’re a legend for doing it, even if you finish last in the race. Even my dad got into the spirit. One level had a tunnel lined with dollar bills that had a lady smoking a cigar on them, and he couldn’t stop laughing. He never likes video games, so that should tell you how special this one is.
If you can stomach the nearly indigestible cheese and underbaked crust, Main Street Pizza and Sandwiches is a must visit. Few other restaurants are worth mentioning in the same breath. Their only true rival — locally, at least — is the Hawaiian-themed place at the mall that has the sit-down Jurassic Park arcade game.
The Finals Season 2 update is here! Let’s see if the hyped additions to weapons and gadgets are all they’re claimed to be.
Welcome to a whole new season of the game, contestants!Much has changed in and out of the arena, and you can expect lots more as the Season progresses. Please find all these new things and changes that’s coming in Season 2 RIGHT HERE!

The Finals Season 2 Mar 14 Update BALANCE CHANGES
Throwables, Explosives & “Nukes”
Added diminishing returns on damage from ‘nukes’ i.e. throwable objects that carry C4s, Breach Charges, or mines
For each source of explosive damage, including the throwable and starting with the highest, a damage modifier is applied to each instance in the sequence of 60% / 40% / 30% / 20%
Gas Canisters now immediately start to steer off their direct trajectory (aka “wobble”) when they have attachments
When picking up throwable objects with explosive gadgets attached (i.e. ‘nukes’ and ‘snukes’), said explosives will become un-armed
When the player lets go of the carried object, a re-arming timer for the explosives starts
The explosions from C4, Breaching Charges, and all mines that detonate while unprimed now deal 20% of their original damage
Decreased the health value of Propane Gas Tanks from 250 to 120
Fixed a bug with Fuel Barrels where they sometimes wouldn’t ignite when taking damage, for example from explosions or bullets
Dev Comment: Nukes were a hot-button issue in Season 1. The previous tuning made nukes exceed the intended time to kill by a large margin. Since our initial changes weren’t substantial enough to alter this tactic, we’ve added more ways to balance nukes moving forward.
Toxic Gas
Added a delay to the application of damage. Damage will now start to tick 0.5s after the player enters the gas cloud
Added new functionality that causes damage to ramp up gradually over time, from 30hp/s to 60 hp/s over 2s.
Increased damage tick interval from 0.1s per tick to 0.3s per tick
Dev Comment: We’ve always intended for Toxic Gas to act as an area denial tool. However, because of its immediate high damage and quick dispersal, it has been too potent. We’ve made changes to make Toxic Gas better fit the original intention.
Gadgets
C4
Decreased ammo count from 2 to 1
Decreased cooldown from 45s to 30s
Decreased minimum damage at the edge of the explosion from 93 to 75

Specializations
Recon Senses
Removed for assessment
Dev Note: we’ve concluded that Recon Senses have been detrimental to the game at large, and have decided to put it out of play for now. The specialization may return in some new form down the line, but only after a major rework.
Mesh Shield
Increased cooldown on a fully depleted shield from 12s to 15s
Increased starting health after full depletion from 200 to 250

The Finals Season 2 Mar 14 Update GAMEPLAY
Added an option for auto-sprint in the gameplay section in settings
Dev comment: You can turn on auto-sprint in the settings menu and select the time it takes for your contestant to begin sprinting. THE FINALS has a unique “omnidirectional sprinting system,” which means characters can sprint in all directions instead of the more common forward-only sprint. As such, we’d love to get your feedback on auto-sprint, and what additional settings would help you better customize your sprinting experience!
The preview arc for grenades now shows where they will detonate in their trajectory
