| Bug | Fix | |-----|-----| | Radar freezes after 30 min | Save & reload | | Anemometer reads 0 in RFD | Switch to mobile unit then back | | Terrain LOD flickers | Lower “Vegetation Detail” to Medium | | Lightning strikes no sound | Verify game files (Steam → Properties) |
The release of OUTBRK v0.1.571 is considered the "Stability Milestone." In the official roadmap, this patch lays the groundwork for the v0.2 "Dixie Alley" expansion expected in Q4 of this year.
According to the developer blog:
The "0.1.571" update identifier carries a hidden weight: server code refactor. Previously, in multiplayer mode (up to 16 chasers per storm), position desync was rampant. Player A would see a tornado 500 meters east, while Player B would see it directly overhead.
Version 0.1.571 introduces deterministic storm seeding for multiplayer lobbies. All clients now share the same random seed for tornado pathing. This means that when the host shouts "It's turning left!"—everyone sees the same left turn. Latency jitter has been reduced by an average of 30ms across NA and EU servers, as confirmed by community-run speed tests. OUTBRK v0.1.571
The in-car tablet computer has been completely redesigned.
The new patch rewards teamwork. If you spot a tornado, do not just scream "Tornado!" Use the new Hex Grid System. Call out the grid square (e.g., "Violent tornado, B-7, moving northeast at 30mph"). This allows the entire server to converge safely. | Bug | Fix | |-----|-----| | Radar
In v0.1.5, experienced players could drive straight through the hail core to get to the other side of the mesocyclone. In v0.1.571, the new damage model means your radiator will be shredded within 30 seconds. New Strategy: Flank the core from the south side. Use the new "Inflow Jet" visual indicator on your HUD to stay in the warm sector.

Tip: In this version, the portable weather station is buggy; avoid it unless patched.
Visually, OUTBRK v0.1.571 is a generational leap. The developers have switched from Unity's standard particle system to a custom volumetric shader.
