Optimizations and Bug Fixes
The “Rivals Assemble” anniversary event has received two quality-of-life improvements. Players can now access the event interface directly from the Times Square map, and a “Quick Copy Friend UID” option has been added to the friend list menu to simplify coordination.
Hero Fixes
- Fixed a rare issue where hero attacks could fail to deal damage when fired near portals from certain angles.
- Corrected a bug that occasionally caused Doctor Strange’s Shield of the Seraphim to orient in the wrong direction.
- Resolved a glitch where Adam Warlock could be forced to re-watch a previous KO replay if his respawn beacon was destroyed during the respawn process.
- Addressed a network-related issue that could cause Angela to become immobile after using her Assassin’s Charge ability.
