3. Holofeed
- Patch 4.1a was deployed on Thursday morning last week, though not without problems for some players.
- Patch 4.1b was subsequently deployed this Thursday (after the show was recorded), to fix several problems introduced in 4.1a.
- The issue in some Operations and Flashpoints where some boss character models rotate in a way that is different to the way the boss is really facing will be fixed in Game Update 4.3 in April, unless it can be done early in Game Update 4.2.
- Friend referral links can be used in player signatures on the official forums.
- The February Producer Livestream, once again featuring Ben Irving and Eric Musco, was held last Thursday. You can watch it on SWTOR’s Twitch channel, or the YouTube version published by Dulfy. Dulfy also has her usual extensive notes.
- BioWare are advertising for a Senior Lead Server Engineer for a “new, unannounced BioWare IP”.
