Below is a list provided by Studio Wildcard of additional updates included in the patch:
- Neuter/Spay option for Tamed Dinos
- Tree Platforms now have +70% HP and +50% resistance to explosive damage
- Directly wield your weapons when mount-riding smaller Dinos!
- Radial Wheel Menu text size now scales with number of entries (to avoid Diplodocus overload, etc)

- Fixed player collisions onto big dino ragdolls
- Non-Drop-In Supply Crates (Cave/Underwater crates etc) no longer have decreasing Health over time (no longer auto destroy), but they can also not accept Inventory anymore and can not be used to generate Boss Tribute Portals.
