##### Crashes issue

- We have received a significant number of reports from players regarding crashes and disconnects following the February update. After an investigation, we determined that these were not client-side crashes, but kicks triggered by the anti-cheat system. In this hotfix, we have adjusted the anti-cheat system to reduce the likelihood of false positives (unintended kicks).

##### Bug Fixes

- Matchmaker: Sightseeing Mission fixed.

- The Stalker Cloak ability now recharges while standing still. Fixed recharge functionality across all ability levels.

- Permissions in Construction are now working properly.
