Known issues from the launch post

The 2 Nov announcement lists hitching in heavy combat, join failures that need a fresh host session, and localization gaps. Those items are expanded on troubleshooting. They are launch notes, not a patch.

I am not opening a patch-note article until the studio publishes one. The launch post is linked above so you can read the known issues in their words.

FAQ

Is there a post-launch patch?

Not as of 3 Nov 2026. The news index on Steam runs through the launch post. When a patch note appears, it should get its own dated page.

Where is the roadmap?

The FAQ answers that a roadmap is planned. No image with dates was on the studio site or the Steam news hub on 3 Nov 2026.

What did Demo Patch 1 change?

On 14 Oct it called out stability, clearer Build Kit information, and a fix so two turrets cannot share one node.

What is planned for Early Access?

The FAQ and launch post name more Gravhounds, jobs, worlds, enemies, weapons, upgrades, progression, plus balance, performance, and co-op work, over about six months.
