PATCH NOTES 0.8.15.68a

2025 April 21

Happy Easter, Hierarchists! The latest patch is here, featuring a couple balance fixes and a workaround for the dreaded Error Code badger_contempt_poltroon. Read on and savor:

CLIENT AND SERVER

• Quality-of-life: HIERARCH installer now prompts user before converting their hard drive to HTFS, HIERARCH’s proprietary file system.

• Login issue workaround: Until hotfix is released, please enter your password in the username field and vice versa. 2FA is currently affected, so for additional security cover your screen with a free hand or piece of paper.

GAMEPLAY FIXES

RANKED Skirmish (5v5)

• Player hitboxes now finite.

• Corrected issue where “Headshot” VO played instead of reload SFX.

• Spawn points for both teams have been moved to above the map.

• Blood decals now fade after 1.5 seconds instead of 1.5 years.

• Blood decals can no longer be picked up and hurled like a discus.

• Blood decals no longer inflict the Decapitated status effect.

• Known issue: We have received many reports of matches where there are multiple instances of the same player(s). Until hotfix is released, please do not respawn until after you have been killed.
