If you've been stuck trying to manage the Z-Team through Episode 8 of Dispatch, a new patch is here to get you moving again. AdHoc Studio has released update 1.0.16254, which specifically targets progression-blocking bugs that were halting players' stories right in their tracks.
The primary focus of this patch is resolving issues within the game's eighth episode. Bugs that prevented players from advancing the narrative and others that interfered with the 'Hero Downed' and revive mechanics have been squashed. For a game so heavily driven by its story of redemption and office politics, hitting a technical wall is a major momentum killer, so this is a crucial fix for anyone invested in Robert Robertson's journey.
More Personality for the Z-Team
Beyond the critical fixes, the patch also implements more Hero Voice Over (VO) details across various shifts. This should bring more life and personality to the dysfunctional-but-lovable crew of former villains you're managing. It’s a small touch, but one that goes a long way in a character-focused game like Dispatch.
What else did the Dispatch patch fix?
The update also cleaned up a minor visual discrepancy related to the bouncing ball display that appears after completing certain scenarios. It's a small quality-of-life tweak alongside the more urgent progression fixes. With the path through Episode 8 now clear, it's a good time to jump back in and see where the Z-Team's path to redemption leads next.
