Release notes

The biggest change in this release is the implementation of our new SPT PMC bots. These custom bots allows us to add PMCs with nearly any behavior of another bot without having to be that bot. This means we can have a Bear PMC with the behavior of Killa, a USEC PMC with the behaviour of a raider.

We also worked on localisation to help non-English speakers and a big fix for the long-standing time-drift bug that causes the in-game time displayed on the pre-raid screen to differ from the in-game time.

Full details below under the Changes section.

WARNING: There is a 99% chance AI mods made for 3.2.5 will NOT work with 3.3.0.

Known SPT issues

• Server exe has a different icon (green shape)
• Aircraft do not fire flares when performing an airdrop
• Scav daily quests have not been implemented; they will be added in a future release
• RARE: Sometimes you'll start a map with no extracts, the only way to escape is to press alt+f4
• Some quests need PMCs to spawn in map locations with no bot spawns, making them impossible to complete (e.g. kill x PMCs in scav fortress/base)
• Selecting the overview tab as a scav can break your client - workaround: alt+f4 to escape
• Looting while extracting can break the client - workaround: alt+f4 to escape
• Flashbangs don’t give the ear ringing (tinnitus) effect
• Some Christmas items can still be found as loot
• Your active flea offers are marked as expired when the server is offline and items are returned in the mail
• Flea categories don't always show the correct number of offers when filtering by item
• Extracts are not the same as live, scavs can spawn in PMC spots
• Completing a quest that pushes a trader to the next loyalty level does not always correctly unlock the new level's items - workaround: buy an item from the trader to trigger the missing items to show
• Bleeds will vanish from your character on exiting a raid
• The server will not load when placed in a folder path containing Unicode characters
• Looting a PMC dogtag doesn't always show their name on the post-raid kill screen
• some high level items unlocked through quests are missing from traders' assorts, these will be added as we unlock them on live and dump the data
• Quest items that are consumed in a quest can be insured and returned to the player

Known NON-SPT issues

• Enabling the scav war option on the pre-raid screen causes bots to spin and shoot the ground
• BSG have blacklisted a lot of high-level items from the flea. You can disable this blacklist by using a mod/editing the ragfair config
• Rogues are insanely difficult, this is by BSG's design
• Scavs are much harder to fight, this is by BSG's design
• Game stuttering/lag will occur when bots spawn in
• Being killed when looting causes the game client to soft-lock
• Opening a 120 bullet ammo pack in-raid creates a single stack of 120
• The game can get stuck on the menu loading screen for five minutes. The workaround is to press f12 to open/close the mod menu multiple times
• Tagging items in raid with special characters, e.g. , or " can corrupt the profile on exiting the raid
• Using horde mode on maps like Customs will cause large numbers of sniper scavs to spawn in the same area
