          • Vehicles can once again be used in the Black Sun, Old Galactic Market, The Works, and the Jedi Temple districts on Coruscant.
          • Resolved an issue that caused the game client to sometimes treat mouse clicks outside of the window as valid clicks when using virtual on-screen keyboards.
          • Performance is no longer degraded in the Walker interior on Ord Mantell when moving the camera around the character.
          • Certain visual effects no longer disappear as they pass over particular types of geometry.
          • Some misplaced art assets, seams or holes in the terrain, and locations where players could become stuck have been corrected.
