Patch Notes - October 12 to 21, 2025

Updates for every patch are posted here: https://shipofheroes.com/forum/patch-notes/

GENERAL

Staying inactive at the login screen or in the character creator while an update to SoH or the Steam client was available could cause a crash when attempting to play a mission. This has now been fixed. If you stay inactive at the login screen or for longer than 15 minutes, it will automatically exit the game.

EVENTS

Improved the code which calculates the average player level inside of area wide events, so that it will handle full area instances better when players are straggling into an area wide event instance.

Halloween Event

· Improved Halloween enemies in the science park.

· Added a notification of where to go when defeating a Lord of Pumpkins

· The Trick or Treat door at the Lights Out entrance has been removed to avoid players getting a Warlord or other boss spawn when trying to enter the mission.

· Fixed a tooltip on icon for hidden door in the office mission.

· Fixed Halloween city effect transitions.

Raid - Winter Raid

· Fixed an issue with the King of Winter falling through terrain on spawn in some cases.

· Increased the Queen of Winter's resistance to crowd control.

· Standard NPCs in the Winter League raid will now hit harder.
