    Hello everyone! We’ve got a hotfix for PC which has been deployed targeting two main issues (Console patch will follow as soon as is practical)Enemies spawning Out-of-Bounds on Soulbound Threshold. Enforcer clipping through terrain when using some abilities. Both of these issues should now be resolved…Bit of a disclaimer: There may still be some edge cases on other stages where you get out of bounds spawns, we’re working on it but it was a little out of scope for this hotfix, we wanted to make sure everyone could complete Soulbound Threshold as quickly as we could. Similarly there will also be some rare occurrences where Enforcer can be forced through the ground still, but should be significantly rarer with this hotfix. In both of these cases we are still working to have these fixed more thoroughly in a bigger patch which we will release in the near future. Speaking of which, we're still taking feedback and bug reports for that patch! Head on over to the Hallowed Concepts feedback and bug report channels on our Discord with anything you want to report to us - I assure you the whole team are watching these two channels VERY closely! Thanks again!- The Risk of Rain Team
