Playtest Update: Hotfix 1 & Known Issues

We are a few days into our Refactoring Update playtest, and the battles have been intense.

We have been monitoring your feedback closely. Based on your reports, we have just deployed a hotfix addressing several critical bugs, map exploits, and UI issues.

Here is the breakdown of what has been fixed and what we are still investigating.

✅ Fixed Issues

Gameplay & Exploits

• FixedMap ExploitsFixed an issue where players could clip through border walls to attack from underground Note: Attempting this will now result in death.

• Building Exploits: Prevented players from exploiting wall clipping to build spawn points, factories, or produce tanks in unintended locations.

• FixedTutorialFixed a critical bug where players could accidentally be placed into another player’s tutorial level.
• FixedRespawnFixed an issue where respawn timers could become negative.
• FixedKnockdownFixed an issue where characters could become stuck after being knocked down twice.

Combat & Vehicles

• Tanks:

  • Fixed an issue where collapsed buildings could push tanks into the ground.

  • Fixed tank barrels clipping into enemy armor.

  • Adjusted tank armor deformation thresholds.

• FixedAnimationFixed animation issues caused by switching weapons during reload.
• FixedMachine GunsFixed incorrect machine gun operator positioning.

• Quality of Life: Separated sensitivity settings for iron sights and scopes.

UI & System

• FixedNotificationsFixed cases where kill and money gain notifications would get stuck on screen, or where notifications intended for other players appeared for your team.
• FixedMatch FlowFixed an issue where selecting “Start Next Match” would incorrectly open the post-match chat.

• Settings: Language settings are now correctly saved between sessions.

⚠️ Known Issues (Under Investigation)

We are aware of the following issues and are actively working on solutions:

• Stats: In rare cases, all players’ kill counts may display as 0.

• Construction: Rapidly queuing tank or artillery construction may cause them to stack vertically.

• Objectives: Some objective points may spawn without defending AI (likely due to low AI count settings).

• Friendly Fire: Suicide may still be incorrectly counted as killing a friendly unit, resulting in money loss.

• Language Switching: Switching language mid-match may cause UI elements (like kill feeds) to stop updating.

• Machine Guns: Interacting with MGs may occasionally make them unusable or, in rare cases, teleport the player to an abandoned tank position.

• Visuals: Sniper scope movement may still feel unstable, and character IK may rarely display "surrender-like" hand poses.

📅 The Battle Continues

The playtest runs through January 4, so there is plenty of time to check out these fixes.

Please continue to report anything you find. Your feedback is helping us squash these bugs in real-time.

See you on the battlefield!
