Knife hit registration has been improved, with further improvements planned to address remaining edge cases.
Non-headshot kills now correctly contribute toward the Longest Kill statistic.
Image stability on console has been improved, with a particular focus on areas in shadow, and further optimisations are in the works.
Various keybinding issues have been resolved, with further fixes planned.
This is only a selection of the 500+ fixes and improvements currently included in Patch 1.2. We’ll have much more to share, including the comprehensive patch notes and release information, soon.
16 August: Hotfix 1 is live now
Our first Hotfix for Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is live now on all platforms.
Since launch, we’ve been closely monitoring your reports and feedback, and Hotfix 1 addresses several of the key issues raised by the community over the first few days.
This includes improvements to AMD GPU stability, server stability and availability, the Server Browser, and audio issues affecting players on PlayStation 5.
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to report issues and share feedback with us. This is just the first of our post-launch updates, and the team is continuing to work through the issues and improvements we’ve been tracking since launch.
Hotfix 1 Includes:
AMD GPU Stability: Further stability improvements have been implemented for players using AMD GPUs.
Additional Official Servers: We’re continuing to roll out additional Official Servers across all regions to help meet player demand.
Server Stability: Further server stability fixes have been implemented.
Server Browser Improvements: We’ve made several changes to make it easier to identify and join servers with available spaces:
The Server Browser will now refresh automatically more frequently to better reflect currently available slots.
Full servers will now be hidden from the default server list. You can still find these servers by adjusting your Server Browser filters.
The Server Browser algorithm has been updated to prioritize low-ping servers with 80 or fewer players, helping players find servers with available space.
Server Crashes: Fixed server crashes that could occur when broadcasting a message via RCON or when using NVA Tunnels.
PlayStation 5 Audio: Resolved an issue that could cause audio to cut out for a period of time on PlayStation 5.
What’s Next?
Hotfix 1 is only the first step. Our development team is continuing to investigate and address the other issues you’ve been reporting, and are actively working on more patches that will be releasing in the coming weeks.
We’ll continue to keep this thread updated with the latest information from the development team, including details on upcoming fixes and improvements as they progress.

Tips on How To Win More
With thousands of new players deploying into Vietnam, we also wanted to share some advice to help you and your team make an impact on the battlefield.
Our very own War Correspondent SmithersCast has put together some of his top tips for securing victory in Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, particularly when fighting as the US Forces.
Here are some of the key things to remember:
Communication is key. Encourage your squad and teammates to communicate and work together.
Get those helicopters in the air. Encourage players to take on the Pilot and Co-Pilot roles and use helicopters to quickly move troops around the battlefield.
Build Nodes. Supplies are now available at HQ at the beginning of a match, giving Engineers what they need to start building Nodes early.
Build Garrisons. Don’t just build on the frontline. Establish backup Garrisons to give your team options if the battle starts moving against you.
Defense first, offense follows. Securing what you already control can give your team the foundation it needs to push forward.
Establish a strong Garrison network. Use helicopters to move troops and supplies quickly, helping your team establish positions across the battlefield.
Hunt down Tunnel Networks. Finding and destroying NVA Tunnel Networks can disrupt enemy reinforcements and make it harder for them to maintain pressure.
Use Flares. Recon teams & co-pilots in helis can help identify where NVA troops are moving from, giving your team valuable information about enemy positions.

14 August: 24-Hour Update
We want to once again thank everyone who has jumped into Hell Let Loose: Vietnam since launch. We continue to closely follow your feedback and reports, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences with us.
Since launch we have loved seeing the hundreds of thousands of people that have joined us in Vietnam and some of the incredible videos, livestreams and moments that have already been had.
That said, we have heard you, and there have been a number of points brought up by the community that we are actively working to address. These include, but aren’t limited to:
Game and server crashes
Overall stability, especially for AMD users
Tutorial bugs
Server frustration
Audio cut-outs on PS5
Distorted voice, caused by EOS
Directional audio
Visual quality, especially on console
Settings resetting or saving issues
Cross play & aim assist
Our development team is already hard at work on the first patch for the game, which will address a broader range of fixes and improvements, but we’ve also identified several issues we want to address sooner. We’re therefore aiming to release our first Hotfix by the end of this weekend, targeting some of the most pressing issues affecting players since launch.
Hotfix 1: Coming This Weekend
The key issues that we’re looking to resolve in this first Hotfix include:
Stability improvements for AMD GPU users
While we’re aware of known Windows driver issues affecting some players using AMD GPUs, we also identified several fixes and launch parameters that helped reduce these issues for a number of affected players. We’re incorporating these changes into the main game as part of this hotfix so they can be applied across the wider player base.
Server updates & improvements
Continued rollout of additional Official Servers across all territories
Server stability fixes
Updates to the default Server Menu to make available servers easier to identify:
The server list will now refresh automatically more frequently to better reflect currently available slots.
Full servers will be hidden from the default server list. These servers can still be found by adjusting the server filter options in the menu.
Server Menu Algorithm has been updated to prioritise low ping servers with a player count lower than or up to 80. This should improve the ability for players to find servers with space to join.
We were delighted to see so many players jumping into the game at launch, and we had to bring additional servers online throughout the night to make sure there was room for everyone.
With the weekend approaching, and even more players expected to take their first steps into the Jungle, we’ve worked with our server providers to bring additional servers online across all regions.
We’ve also heard your feedback that some players have been struggling to find servers with available space, or that servers showing open slots were already full by the time they attempted to join. The combination of additional servers and improvements to the server browser, including more frequent automatic refreshes, hiding full servers by default and an improved algorithm to prioritise lower population servers with low ping, should help make it quicker and easier to find a server with room to play.
Finally we identified a number of cases were players experienced server crashes when broadcasting a message via RCON or using NVA tunnels. These issues have been fixed.
Audio Improvements
Resolved an issue where Audio could drop out for a period of time on PS5
Good comms are a major pillar of Hell Let Loose and can be a huge factor in your enjoyment of the game. While we continue to work with our partners on the robotic voice issue that can occur in proximity chat we did identify an issue affecting PS5 users where audio could drop out for extended periods of time. This fix addresses the issues and will be included in the Hotfix.
Other Topics
Crossplay & Aim Assist Discussion
Since launch, we’ve seen a lot of discussion around Aim Assist, particularly after the first introduction of crossplay to the Hell Let Loose franchise. We wanted to provide some clarity on how Aim Assist currently works in Hell Let Loose: Vietnam.
Aim Assist is available to all players using a gamepad across both PC and console, and uses the same values previously used in Hell Let Loose. Players can set Aim Assist to High, Medium, Low, or Disabled, with High being the default setting. There is also no difference in Aim Assist values between PC and console players.
In Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, Aim Assist is only active while aiming down sights (ADS). There is no “snap-to” behaviour when transitioning into ADS, nor does Aim Assist cause your aim to “stick” to or track another player’s movement.
Instead, Aim Assist provides a subtle reduction in aiming input speed when your aim is moving toward an enemy, helping gamepad users line up shots more precisely with an analogue stick. This assistance is limited at range and is disabled when an enemy is occluded, meaning Aim Assist will not provide assistance toward enemies who are obscured from view.
We’ll continue to assess the impact and balance of Aim Assist as more of you play the game. For now, we wanted to provide some additional clarity on how the system works and what players can expect when using a gamepad.
Issues Under Investigation
We’re also aware of a number of other issues affecting the gameplay experience, including audio and VOIP issues, visual quality and foliage issues, settings not saving correctly, keybind problems and persistent HUD elements. Our development team is actively investigating these reports, and we’ll continue to prioritise fixes for the issues having the greatest impact on players, and will keep you updated on our progress.
Tips for New Players
We also wanted to give a shoutout to some of the incredible videos that have been produced since Hell Let Loose: Vietnam launched. If you are a new player to Hell Let Loose, or are looking to get to grips with the new game, check out a couple of our favourites below:

大家提交的问题报告能够帮助开发团队更快地定位、复现问题，并确定后续更新的修复优先级，对我们非常重要。
提高胜率的小技巧
随着数千名新玩家加入《人间地狱：越南》，我们也准备了一些实用技巧，帮助你和队友更好地发挥作用、提高获胜机会。
我们整理了一些《人间地狱：越南》的实用获胜技巧，尤其适合使用美军时参考。
以下几点值得牢记：
保持沟通。 沟通是获胜的关键。积极与小队成员和其他队友交流，保持团队协作。
让直升机飞起来。 鼓励队友选择飞行员和副驾驶角色，利用直升机快速转移部队，提高整体机动能力。
建造资源节点。 现在比赛开始时总部 (HQ) 就会提供补给，让工兵可以尽早开始建设资源节点，为队伍提供资源支持。
建造驻军点。 不要只盯着前线建设驻军点。提前建立备用驻军点，一旦战局对己方不利，也能为队伍留下其他部署和反击的选择。
先守稳，再进攻。 在发动下一轮进攻之前，先确保已经控制的区域足够稳固。守住现有阵地，才能为之后的推进打好基础。
建立完善的驻军点网络。 充分利用直升机快速运输部队和补给，在游戏内建立多个关键阵地和驻军点。
搜寻并摧毁隧道网络。 找到并摧毁NVA的隧道网络，可以干扰敌方增援，让对方更难持续向己方施压。
善用照明弹。 侦察小队和直升机副驾驶可以利用照明弹判断NVA部队的行动方向，为队伍提供重要的敌方位置信息。
8月15日：上线24小时情况更新
再次感谢所有在《人间地狱：越南》上线后进入游戏的玩家！我们一直在密切关注大家提交的反馈和问题报告，也非常感谢每一位愿意花时间与我们分享游戏体验的玩家。
游戏上线以来，已经有数十万玩家加入《人间地狱：越南》，我们也看到了大量精彩的视频、直播以及各种令人印象深刻的游戏瞬间。
与此同时，社区反馈的各种问题我们也都听到了。目前团队正在积极处理的问题包括但不限于：
游戏及服务器崩溃
整体稳定性问题，尤其是AMD用户遇到的问题
教程Bug
服务器相关体验问题
PS5音频中断
EOS导致的语音失真
方向音频问题
画面质量问题，尤其是主机平台
设置重置或无法正常保存
跨平台联机 & 辅助瞄准
开发团队目前已经在全力准备游戏的首个正式补丁，其中会包含范围更广的修复和优化。不过，其中一些对玩家影响较大的问题，我们希望能够更快解决。
因此，我们计划在本周末结束前推出首个热修复补丁 (Hotfix 1)，优先解决游戏上线以来玩家遇到的一些主要问题。
计划本周末推出
首个热修复补丁将重点处理以下内容：
稳定性优化
我们已经确认，部分AMD GPU用户受到已知Windows驱动问题的影响。不过，我们同时找到了一些有效的修复方式和启动参数，可以降低部分玩家遇到这些问题的频率。
本次Hotfix会将这些调整直接整合进游戏本体，让更多玩家无需手动设置即可应用相关优化。
服务器更新 & 优化
继续为所有地区增加更多官方服务器
修复服务器稳定性问题
优化默认服务器菜单，让大家更容易找到可以直接加入的服务器：
服务器列表将更加频繁地自动刷新，让显示的剩余空位更加接近服务器当前的实际情况。
默认情况下，服务器列表将不再显示已经满员的服务器。如果仍然希望查看，可以通过服务器菜单中的筛选选项重新显示。
服务器菜单的匹配算法也已经调整，将优先显示低延迟且玩家人数不超过80人的服务器，帮助大家更容易找到仍有空位的服务器。
游戏上线后，大量玩家同时进入游戏，我们非常高兴看到大家如此热情。为了尽可能保证所有玩家都有服务器可进，我们在上线后的整个夜间都在持续增加服务器。
随着周末即将到来，预计还会有更多玩家首次进入游戏。为此，我们已经与服务器供应商合作，在所有地区进一步增加服务器数量。
我们也注意到不少玩家反馈，很难找到真正有空位的服务器：有些服务器在列表中明明显示还有位置，但等实际尝试加入时却已经满员。
为此，我们一方面会增加更多服务器，另一方面也会优化服务器浏览器，包括提高自动刷新频率、默认隐藏满员服务器，以及优先显示低延迟且人数较少的服务器。这些改动应该能帮助大家更快找到真正有空位的服务器。
此外，我们还发现了一些可能导致服务器崩溃的情况，例如通过RCON广播消息以及使用NVA隧道。这些问题目前已经修复。
音频优化
修复PS5上音频可能长时间中断的问题
团队沟通一直是《人间地狱》游戏体验中的重要组成部分。
目前，我们仍在与合作伙伴共同解决近距离语音聊天中可能出现的“机器人音”问题。同时，我们还确认了一个影响PS5玩家的问题，可能导致游戏音频长时间中断。
该问题已经完成修复，并会包含在本次Hotfix中。
其他话题
跨平台联机 & 辅助瞄准说明
游戏上线以来，社区对辅助瞄准进行了大量讨论，尤其是这次《人间地狱》系列首次加入跨平台联机，因此我们希望进一步解释《人间地狱：越南》的辅助瞄准机制究竟是如何运作的。
目前，无论PC还是主机平台，只要使用手柄，都可以使用辅助瞄准。辅助瞄准采用与此前《人间地狱》相同的参数，并提供High、Medium、Low和Disabled四档设置，其中High为默认设置。
PC和主机平台的辅助瞄准强度不存在区别。
在《人间地狱：越南》中，辅助瞄准只有在开镜瞄准 (ADS) 时才会生效。
进入开镜状态时，准星不会自动“吸”到敌人身上；辅助瞄准也不会让准星“黏住”敌人，更不会自动追踪敌人的移动。
它真正的作用是：当你的准星向敌人移动时，系统会轻微降低瞄准输入速度，帮助使用手柄摇杆的玩家更加精准地将准星停在目标上。
这种辅助在远距离下的效果有限，而且当敌人被障碍物遮挡时会直接失效。换句话说，辅助瞄准不会帮助玩家瞄准视野中看不到的敌人。
随着越来越多玩家参与游戏，我们还会继续观察辅助瞄准对实际游戏体验和平衡性的影响。目前，我们希望先通过这些说明，让大家更清楚地了解这套系统的具体机制，以及使用手柄时辅助瞄准究竟会提供哪些帮助。
其他正在调查的问题
我们还注意到了一系列影响游戏体验的问题，包括：
音频及VOIP问题
画面质量和植被显示问题
设置无法正确保存
按键绑定问题
HUD元素持续显示的问题
开发团队目前正在积极调查相关反馈。我们会继续优先处理对玩家体验影响最大的问题，并及时向大家同步修复进展。
