Warhounds has received its first hotfix, addressing several technical issues identified since the game's recent launch. The update specifically targets stability problems that may have hindered players transitioning from the title's playtest phase to the full release.
Confirmed Changes
The following fixes are included in the latest update:
- Save Compatibility: Fixed a bug preventing barracks construction caused by crew shortages in older playtest save files.
- Mission Logic: Resolved a script freeze that occurred when the final soldier died within an evacuation zone.
- Combat Mechanics: Corrected the barrel explosion radius and fixed a bug where movement debuffs would stack repeatedly while carrying a prisoner.
- UI and Audio: Fixed a lip-sync issue in the tutorial and corrected a voice line trigger error for character Julia during individual evacuations.
- Economy: Addressed a bug that prevented exiting a mission when soldiers were promoted while the player had low funds.
New Steam Bundles
In addition to the technical updates, the developer has introduced two new bundles on Steam, each offering a 10% discount for those interested in strategy titles:
- Turn-Based Tactics Bundle: Pairs Warhounds with Future War Tactics: SOF vs Alien Invasion.
- Warhounds x Diplomacy is Not an Option: Combines the tactical squad gameplay of Warhounds with the base-building mechanics of Diplomacy is Not an Option.
Players do not need to take any manual action to apply these changes, as the update will be handled automatically through the Steam client.
