AdHoc Studio is continuing its rapid post-launch support for Dispatch, rolling out patch 1.0.16250. This is a maintenance update, not a content drop, focused on the small but crucial details: performance optimizations and another round of subtitle fixes to polish the player experience.
The patch notes are brief, but the impact is about improving the core gameplay loop. The 'further optimizations' should lead to a smoother time managing your chaotic superhero team, reducing any stutters or hitches that can pull you out of the game's hilarious workplace drama. For a game so reliant on sharp writing and narrative choices, stable performance is key.
The subtitle fixes are also a welcome sight, especially since the previous patch also addressed some text issues. In a visual novel and text-based adventure like Dispatch, the dialogue is the gameplay. Ensuring every line of witty banter and high-stakes office politicking displays correctly is essential.
A Pattern of Quick Fixes
This update follows a series of patches released since the game’s launch in late October. AdHoc Studio has been quick to squash major bugs, including game-breaking blockers in several episodes and issues with stat tracking. With the biggest fires now put out, this latest patch signals a shift towards refinement and polish—a great sign for the game's long-term health.
What does this update change for players?
Ultimately, patch 1.0.16250 is a quality-of-life improvement. Your existing saves are safe, and the core strategy remains unchanged. What you should notice is a slightly more polished and stable experience, allowing the game's excellent writing and strategic depth to shine through without technical hiccups. It's a small update that makes a solid game just a little bit better.
