Update 0.1.2

Released 30 September 2026. A small patch: the developers closed holes in the economy, fixed a Windows 11 crash and made it easier to pick servers. Bigger balance changes are planned for Season 2.

Original patch notes on Steam

In short

• The WD-L020 crash on Windows 11 is fixed.
• Cash and XP exploits are closed, and repeat abuse now gets a permanent ban.
• Unloading pallets at a FOB outside the zone pays less.
• New DEPLOY menu: pick official, community, infantry or low-level servers straight away.

WD-L020 crash

If the game crashed with WD-L020 after the recent Windows 11 update (KB5124010), that’s fixed. Just update the game in Steam.

Economy: what no longer works

The patch closes ways to earn around normal play:

• Revives are checked by the server. Only real revives count. Honest medics aren’t affected.
• The vehicle fly-through exploit is fixed, and its rewards are now capped.
• Rewards for destroying buildables now scale with how far they were built. Knocking down a freshly placed schematic no longer pays the full amount.
• Pallets unloaded at a FOB outside the zone pay less. The full unload payout comes from a FOB inside the Control Zone. The developers didn’t say how much lower the outside reward is. More on payouts in Income by action.

Exploit bans

Players caught abusing cash and XP exploits or trading in-game cash for real money have already had their cash and progression reset. The developers say the leniency is over: repeat abuse of unintended exploits now risks a permanent ban without warning.

Picking servers

• New DEPLOY menu. Hit DEPLOY and choose Official, Community, Infantry Mode or Low-Level servers. It makes servers running those modes easier to find.
• Advanced filters are back in the official server list.
• Long server names are no longer cut off — hover to see the full name.
• After you click Join, you see that you’re connecting and your place in the queue, if there is one.
• Anonymous mode now hides the server name on the loading screen, like Streamer mode. The pause menu keeps it hidden too unless you choose to show it.
• Region select shows how many regions you’ve picked.
• The DEPLOY screen supports gamepads.

Bug fixes

• Grenades, smoke and C4 can no longer be thrown from enclosed vehicle seats.
• The adaptive crosshair now hides while aiming down sights.
• Buildable crit spots no longer reappear where you just hit, slide into corners or jump to the far side. They now favour a spot you can reach from where you stand.
• The Havoc took extra damage from 20 mm and 30 mm cannons — fixed. The attack helicopter now holds up better against autocannons. The developers overcorrected, and since 2 October the CWIS kills the Havoc in about 6 seconds again, not 12.
• Improved translations.
• Server stability and security.

For community server admins

• Scheduled daily restarts (time in UTC).
• RCON access can be limited by host (AllowedHosts).
• RCON message and broadcast lengths are capped.
• RCON defaults to standard response detail, and config responses no longer expose server internals.
• ServerImageURL is validated when the config loads.

What we updated in our guides

• Income by action and Pilot: we recorded the $1,800 pallet unload payout in the Hot Zone. We’ve added a note that it pays less outside the zone since 0.1.2.
