According to the official After the Fall patch notes, the latest addressed some major gameplay issues that have been glitching across all platforms (through doors, for example). Apart from this, today’s After the Fall patch 1.05 also includes performance improvements.

Today’s After the Fall version 1.03 will fix a few of these issues.
After the Fall 1.05 Patch Notes – February 1, 2022
FIXES – RESOLVED ISSUES
Cheat prevention
- It should no longer be possible to glitch through doors
- End of level complete buttons are now disabled until the last wave has been successfully completed
- Improvements to the level geometry to prevent anti-cheat (black screen) from triggering in several places where the player is supposed to be able to move to
- Players are now more quickly reset to the last valid position if moving inside geometry causing anti-cheat (black screen)

- Failure to load persistence data due to server errors will no longer cause loss of persistence
- Fixed issue where some settings were not saved
- You will no longer occasionally lose your missile device when being defeated during a nightmare run
- Note: we have further reduced the chance of losing weapons completely, but still continue investigating the exact cause.
Changes

GENERAL UPDATES
GAMEPLAY (affects all platforms)
Balancing
Made several changes to the balancing between the Service Pistol vs SMG to make the Pistol a much more viable choice
- Decreased the Max Ammo for ‘9mm’ from 200 to 180
- Lowered SMG damage from 60 to 50
- Increased Pistol damage from 40 to 55
- Increased MT-47 damage from 70 to 75 to create more incentive to use it over the M4 when players want to purely focus on damage over fire rate & recoil
Slightly increased the harvest cost multiplier of items on Nightmare difficulty to make stacking more expensive. Larger fix to address the root of the problem will come later!
Smasher exposed spots’ health now scales with difficulty to alleviate stun-locking
Enemies & Animation

- Floppies no longer spawn inside geometry in Quarantine Center, causing them to be ungrabbable
- Changes to ammo boxes, loot spawn locations and enemy spawns in several levels

- Nightmare mode is now locked for a level until you complete that level on Master difficulty
SYSTEM UPDATES (affects all platforms)
Interaction & Controls

- You’re able to change control schemes which allow you to swap the movement joysticks between your controllers, instead of the default where the left joystick is for movement and the right joystick is for rotation. With the inverted movement scheme this is the other way around. So the left joystick is for rotation and the right joystick is for movement.
