##### Warband!

**Hotfix 1.12.1** is now being rolled out on all platforms. This hotfix has a couple of bug and crash fixes, including a fix that solves the issue where Skitarii Deluxe Edition cosmetics weren’t immediately available at initial character creation.

##### Hotfix 1.12.1 patch notes

##### Fixes

- If you bought the Deluxe Edition of the Skitarii DLC, the Deluxe cosmetics and customization options should now be available when attempting to create a new character immediately, without having to enter the hub or restart the game.

- Fixed an issue where Skitarii characters could not equip starter gear from other Forge World origins.

- Fixed a crash occurring when an Arc Grenade targets an enemy that died from another source before spawning the Arcs.

- Fixed a rare crash when using the Skitarii Integrated Refraction Emitter Blitz.

- Fixed an issue where players received notifications multiple times for penance rewards and when purchasing new cosmetics.

- Fixed some crashes that could occur when deploying the Skitarii Servo Skull.

- Fixed a bug where the new Vanguard Enemy would be locked in a stagger animation when hit with a Soulblaze attack.

##### Known Issues

- ~~Skitarii Deluxe Edition cosmetics and customization options will only unlock once you enter the hub for the first time.~~

- ~~As a workaround, please **enter the hub with one of your existing characters before making your Skitarii** to create it with Deluxe Edition customization options (or you can create your Skitarii and then change the customization options at the Chirurgeon).~~

- Fixed!

- Sometimes hogtied (respawned) players will be moved to a later respawn point despite the Strike Team not having moved past their area.

- No loadout is equipped after Personality Scourging as DLC classes

- Happens on Hive Scum, Arbites, and Skitarii.

- Hive Scum specific issue:

- When personality scourging as Hive Scum, the headgear is changed to the chosen gang’s starter headgear (instead of the headgear equipped by the player).

- Skitarii specific issue:

- When personality scourging as Skitarii, all loadouts are unequipped AND all loadouts get a yellow exclamation mark, pointing to some error with the backpack slot.

- Changing the equipped backpack resolves the issue.

That’s all for today!

We’ll see you on the Mourningstar.
