The free-to-play multiplayer game, Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop, received a small update today. The patch doesn’t add any new content, but it does bring a good amount of bug fixes. Collision issues of five weapons are fixed, and the center of gravity bug of the Flashlight Attachment is addressed as well.
Wanderers and hordes won’t spawn behind vault doors anymore, and the ragdoll-related crash issue is addressed. A workaround has been added for the engine because it will sometimes forget that some players are voice-muted.
