Patch Highlights and Full patch notes are below!
Update Highlights 👍🏻
Aim Down Sights (ADS) 2.0
Overhauled the way the game adjusts the weapon's Field Of View (FOV) while using ADS. This greatly improves the sight picture and usability of all optics.
Network Optimization/Network Drop Fix
We’ve done a massive amount of work to reduce network traffic (from hundreds of thousands of messages to ~60,000 at peak). This will help with slower connections, but more importantly, it should prevent players from getting dropped from parties as the network was too overloaded to make the transition!
Server Browser and Mid Mission Joining
We’ve added a server browser so players can see who is currently playing Rogue Point and join them. This includes changes to default settings to make it easier for players to connect.
The game’s join system was also massively overhauled to allow mid-mission joining. This will allow players to spectate during a mission in progress, then join the fight on the next mission!
Known Issue: The UI or HUD may break when joining a mission. We have most, if not all, of these fixed internally, but they will be part of a future update.
Overhauled Party Management
Changed party management to be a pop-out slider. This not only looks nicer, but is hopefully less confusing for players. We also fixed a bug where parties were getting set to “Unlisted“ unintentionally.
Vastly Improved Performance on Default (DX11)
We enabled the RHI Thread for the default launch option. This improves FPS by 20-80 frames on an RTX 5070 Ti.
Campaign Modifiers
The game now lets you adjust settings and sliders to create a customized campaign. Let us know what settings you like best. We can use some additional feedback to make difficulty presets in the future.
Weapons and Stash Room Updates 💥
4x Combat Scope
In addition to ADS 2.0, players can now unlock the 4x Combat Scope. This has the highest zoom of all optics and is ideal for long-range combat.
Tear Gas Grenades
A grenade that releases irritating gas that can do damage over time. Used primarily for area denial.
Hunter 44
A firearm with real stopping power but limited attachments. Great as a high-powered backup weapon, just be mindful of its reload times.
Thunder Bolt Action Rifle
A bolt-action rifle built for range. As distance increases, damage goes up.
RIOT-12
A distinctive shotgun known for its rugged design and adaptability. This versatile weapon excels in breaching and close-quarters combat, making it ideal when facing Unforeseen Consequences.
RC90
Developed during the Cold War, this is an extremely unorthodox bullpup SMG. Its small size, 50-round horizontal magazine, and exceptional rate of fire are perfect for sustained close-range engagements. Designed specifically to be equipped with armor-piercing rounds, this blends the benefits of a compact SMG and a full-powered rifle.
Proximity Mines
A motion-sensing device that detonates instantly when triggered.
Improved and Expanded Stash Rooms
Stash rooms are now shown on the planning screen, have clearer in-world icons, and can support Armor, Cash, and Weapons (though weapons have not yet been added to the maps)
Artificial Intelligence Updates 🧠
New Enemy Cosmetics
As the mission difficulty progresses, the AI will take on new looks. Soldiers will also increase their armor to help scale the difficulty throughout the campaign.
BOS Hog
Added new attacks, responses, and phases to the boss.
Charge attack
Hook attack
Improved grenade throwing
Damage states per phase
Increase health values
Door Traps
Doors now have a chance to be trapped. Players will have to peek or optiwand doors to know exactly what is on the other side.
New Cosmetics
SAS Outfit
Cowboy Cosmetics

Known Issues
A bunch of small bugs and QOL things we are looking into, but some noticeable ones include:
Players at the Loadout screen occasionally stand on top of one another. We've been trying to figure out what creates this, and have been flummoxed by it.
Occasionally, sounds like countdown timers or music will carry over from mission complete or campaign complete. Investigating.
Sometimes AI will continue to fire at players at mission end. Usually, this is a Heavy during their stand-up animation, but recently we saw it with a soldier at mission fail, so we will look into that.
The AI likes to get stuck at the Control Room Rooftop extraction stairwell. We're not sure what is holding them up, but we are looking at it.
