Fixes

• The pheromone gland creature maturity issue in the Neomex cave has been fixed.

• Fixed additional issues causing erratic consumable buff stacking in some situations.
• Fixed an issue causing some consumable buffs not to refresh properly when a previous buff still had time remaining and a new buff is consumed.
• Restored buff stacking for healing tools to the functionality that existed prior to the 15.15.7.2 patch.
• Fixed an issue affecting damage over time for flamethrowers and Arsonistic Chips.

MindArk and the Planet Partners strive to ensure a smooth and problem-free Version Update. Nevertheless, even after extensive testing some issues may arise after release. Such issues are often addressed via mini-patches directly after a release and in subsequent patches. If you feel that the possibility of encountering minor issues or bugs directly after a Version Update affects your gameplay to an extent that Entropia Universe is not enjoyable, please wait until the mini-patches have been released and any last minute issues have been resolved.
