Hood Warfare 2 Patch Notes and Current Status

Current status at a glance

The current build is 1.0.1.4, released at 01:03 on October 14, 2026. Hood Warfare 2 launched on October 8, so two patches have shipped inside the first week. Both are published by the developer on Steam.

Patch timeline

Every official post published for Hood Warfare 2 so far, in order. The wording below is drawn from the developer's own announcements.

Two details from those notes are worth pulling out, because they explain a lot of what players were reporting in the first week.

• Voice chat is push-to-talk by default. The 1.0.10 notes state push-to-talk is on by default on the T key, with the option to switch to an open microphone in settings.
• Spawn protection arrived with the first patch. The developer acknowledged the spawn complaints directly and noted that some maps are inherently small, so time-to-kill stays short on maps such as Supermarket.

Fixed, partly fixed, unchanged

The most useful way to read these notes is as a checklist against the complaints that dominated the launch week. The table separates what the developer says it has addressed from what it has not.

How to check your build

The version number appears in the bottom-right corner of the main menu. The developer's 1.0.1.4 note adds a practical step: if the patch does not appear, exit Steam completely — from the Steam menu, choose Exit Steam — and relaunch, which forces the client to pick the update up.

If you are running an older build, most of the problems described in the table above may simply be the version you are on rather than a fault with the game. Updating first avoids chasing a bug that has already been fixed. The troubleshooting guide picks up from there.

What is still open

Two things are not resolved, and it is worth being precise about the difference between "not fixed" and "not acknowledged".

• Cheating. The 1.0.10 notes say an anti-cheat was implemented "to hopefully prevent some of it", and point players to the report option in the pause menu. That is a mitigation, not a claim that cheating is gone.
• How matches are hosted. Players in the official Steam discussions describe the game as peer-to-peer and raise concerns about what that means for security. Other players in the same threads dispute that framing. There is no developer statement on the network model in either patch note, so the description stays attributed to players rather than stated as fact.

The developer also points players to a Discord server for bug reports, which is referenced in the 1.0.10 notes. No public support web page is listed on the store page; the contact address published there is an email address.
