Hell Let Loose: Vietnam Patch 1.2 drops tomorrow; roadmap soon

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam's first Command Post community update confirms a busy week: Patch 1.2 arrives tomorrow, Aug 21, with hundreds of bug fixes, including fixes for the NVA Tunnel server crashes, the airborne "swimming" exploit, and stuck HUD/Medic markers.

• Server crashes: Stability data improved right after Hotfix 1, with roughly half as many clients losing connection, before returning to launch levels. The team traced a major cause to multiple events happening while players travel through NVA Tunnels; the fix is in Patch 1.2.
• Air swimming: Players could enter the swimming state above ground and get onto rooftops. Using community reproduction steps, the team fixed the known methods.
• Persistent HUD and Medic markers: Stuck on-screen elements are fixed.

• AMD stability: Crashes from some AMD GPU players are being investigated with AMD, including possible Unreal Engine-level changes. FSR 4.1 is currently targeted for Update 1.5.
• Tutorial progress: Tutorials sometimes fail to save completion, blocking Squad Leader or Commander. The team is asking for recent reports via Support tickets.
• Aim Assist and crossplay: Both remain hot topics, especially on PC. Aim Assist is interacting with small non-collision foliage in ways physics checks can't resolve, so a more complex fix is needed. The Dev Update from 14 August explains the current implementation.
• VOIP robotic voices: Distorted Proximity Chat is being worked on with the external VOIP partner at Epic Games. A short-term workaround is in progress while Epic works on a permanent fix.
• Console visual quality: Foliage shimmer, pixelation, and clarity issues will get small improvements in Patch 1.2, with more optimization ongoing to raise rendering resolution while holding 60 FPS.

Patch 1.2 isn't the end; further patches are expected, and Community Feedback is slated to become a weekly update.

• The M14 and SKS arrive in September, with Update 1.5 set as the first new weapon drop.
• The Hell Let Loose: Vietnam roadmap for the rest of 2026 is due later this week, covering new maps, vehicles, features, and more weapons.
