The in-fiction explanation behind the fix was a strange ear infection affecting animals across the country, but it seems like a treatment for the problem has finally been dispersed.

It also fixes the so-called "Bomb Crash" which caused the game to shut down in multiplayer whenever a bomb of any kind was used.
