🔧 DIRECT CONTACT — HOTFIX V0.99.99078 UE5.7.4 : MID-GAME JOINING & HOT-JOIN FIX

Build Version: V0.99.99078 UE5.7.4 FUBAR
Release Date: July 28, 2026
Status: Live on Steam


Hotfix Highlights

  • Fixed Mid-Game Hot-Joining Spawn Bug: Resolved an issue where players joining an in-progress mission session mid-game would spawn as a camera spectator under the map due to unassigned or conflicting unit role selections.
  • Automatic Unit Role Assignment: Late-joining players now automatically claim the next available open unit slot (Assault, MG Rifle, JTAC, or Sniper) if their preferred role is occupied by a teammate.
  • Seamless In-Game Spawning: Hot-joining players now instantly load their gear, cosmetics, and weaponry for the assigned role and spawn directly into the match at a valid spawn point with their squad.
