Rescuing Your Roster and Progress
Nothing's worse for a dispatcher than a hero vanishing from the map entirely. A nasty bug with Malevola's "Portal Ritual" power was doing just that, but has now been resolved. Your redeemed villains will now correctly return from their portal trips, ready for the next crisis.
More importantly for story progress, patch 1.0.16338 addresses scenarios in Episode 8 shifts that would fail to advance after assigning a hero. This was a hard wall for many players, and getting it fixed means you can finally see the next chapter of the Z-Team's dysfunctional story. The team also fixed an issue with using the Phoenix Up item to revive downed heroes during these missions, removing another potential roadblock.
What about the 'H4ck3d by R0b3rt' achievement?
Achievement hunters can finally breathe a sigh of relief. The "H4ck3d by R0b3rt" achievement, which was failing to unlock for some players, is now working as intended. Time to get back in there and earn that completion.
Alongside these major gameplay fixes, the patch includes a host of smaller but welcome tweaks, including updates to localization, analytics, audio, voice-over, and minor hero art. It’s a solid quality-of-life update that smooths out the experience of managing LA's most unlikely heroes.
