Completionists and strategists can breathe a sigh of relief—the latest update for Dispatch has arrived to clean up some lingering issues. Patch 1.0.16409 dropped on November 19, 2025, targeting specific achievement bugs that were blocking 100% completion runs, while also smoothing out the narrative logic in the game's intense final acts.
Achievement Hunters Rejoice
Nothing is more frustrating in a strategy game than executing a perfect run and not getting the badge for it. This patch specifically addresses the "H4ck3d by R0b3rt" and "Min Max" achievements. Previously, players were reporting that these wouldn't unlock despite meeting the difficult criteria. Whether you were mastering the hacking minigames or perfectly optimizing your Z-Team deployments, the game should now properly recognize your efforts.
How does the update affect story choices?
Managing the Z-Team—a group of former supervillains—is a delicate balancing act for Robert. One wrong move can send your "heroes" back to their villainous ways or cause internal strife. This update includes tuning for conditional outcomes in Episodes 7 and 8. This is crucial because these late-game episodes are where your relationship investments usually pay off (or blow up in your face). The adjustments aim to balance character relationships, ensuring that the consequences of your leadership decisions feel fair and logical within the narrative context.
Stability and Save Protection
Beyond gameplay tweaks, AdHoc Studio implemented critical stability fixes. If you were experiencing "Fatal Error" crashes on launch or issues during Hacking levels caused by antivirus interference, those should be resolved. Perhaps most importantly, safeguards have been added to prevent save data from being overwritten or failing to load—essential for a game where every choice defines your path and there are no do-overs.
Here is the breakdown of the key fixes in version 1.0.16409:
- Achievements: Fixed unlock triggers for "H4ck3d by R0b3rt" and "Min Max."
- Narrative: Tuned relationship conditions in Episodes 7 & 8 to better reflect player choices.
- Crashes: Resolved low-level fatal errors and antivirus-related crashes in Hacking levels.
- Progression: Fixed softlocks preventing completion of Episode 8.
- Saves: Added safeguards against data loss and load failures.
