Unmentioned changes, incomplete patch-note descriptions, unexplained behavior shifts, and hidden implementation details that materially affect play.
TL No matching pages, sections, or mechanics.
Patch intelligence
The OTL tracks changes that official notes omit, describe incompletely, or leave unexplained. Entries remain in the archive after they are resolved, so older patches stay useful as a technical record.
Unmentioned changes, incomplete patch-note descriptions, unexplained behavior shifts, and hidden implementation details that materially affect play.
Each entry records whether its findings come from game-data comparison, controlled live verification, or both, and unresolved parts stay labeled as unresolved.
Investigation archive
Entries are organized by release. Resolved and unresolved findings remain archived rather than disappearing when a patch gets old.
Game version
Version 7.1.0 released alongside the Ironclad Democracy Warbond. The patch also changed several mission-generation profiles and mission-related data records.
Four personal weapons, two throwables, and two Blunt-Force Mitigation armour sets were added to the Warbond. The accompanying Superstore adds the BFM-77 Reformer with the same passive. The armour passive is fully resolved to +25 Armor Rating, 30% less impact/collision damage, and Rock Solid-equivalent knockdown resistance.
