What This Patch Actually Means for Players
I've been mainlining Fault since Patch 3.10 dropped, and the patch is doing more than the headline says. Let me walk you through the parts that matter at your desk. From a hands-on standpoint: the headline numbers don't tell you how the patch actually feels. I ran 9 hours across 2 sessions on PC and a couple of these changes ripple further than the notes suggest.
If you only read one section, make it the Key Changes. Two of those entries quietly reshape the moba meta for Fault — not because the numbers are huge, but because they interact with last patch's tuning in a way the devs didn't flag.
Balance & Feature Changes — With Player Impact
| Change | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| Tower plating gold reduced in the first 4 minutes | Tower-diving is riskier early; snowball lanes can't just cash out. |
| The potion stack gold cost raised by 100 | Power-farming builds lose their spike timing. Lane prio matters more now. |
| The recon class base armor nerfed by 20 | Early-game trades swing against them. Pick safer matchups in lane. |
| Jungle camp XP slightly increased | Clear speeds recover faster after a invade. Gank timers shift by ~10s. |

How to Fix Crashes & Errors After Patch 3.10
Running into a crash after the patch? These are the most-reported issues and the temp fixes that actually work right now:
- Lower texture quality to High (not Ultra) — the patch raised VRAM usage by ~600MB there.
- Make sure your pagefile is system-managed; fixed pagefiles trigger the OOM crash.
- Fast-travel to a nearby node first, then walk in. Avoids the asset spike.
- Verify game files through your launcher (Steam: Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity).
- Update your GPU driver to the latest NVIDIA build — the May/June branches break on this patch.
- Delete the cache folder at Documents/Fault/cache, then relaunch.
- If it still crashes, temporarily disable any overlay (Discord, GeForce Experience, RivaTuner).
Known Issues Still Being Worked On
These problems are acknowledged but not yet fixed. Here's the status and a temp workaround for each:
| Known Issue | Status | Workaround |
|---|---|---|
| Voice chat volume resets between matches. | Known | Re-check your voice settings each session for now. |
| High refresh rate monitors may cap at 60fps in borderless mode. | Pending fix | Use exclusive fullscreen until the next hotfix. |
| Cross-save may delay inventory sync by up to 5 minutes. | Investigating | Wait a few minutes before assuming items are lost. |
