Expression Games announced the release of the hotfix for Update 19 this morning via their Discord. I didn’t see mention of it on their Steam page or their website. At least not at a glance. Sorry, Solider, you’ll just have to take my word for it on these orders, and read the notes below. (The link to the message would be via our Discord server, which is locked to members only by default. This dawned on me after a bit of linking previous Discord messages later on in the process. I ‘thought’ it linked back to the original message, but alas, I was mistaken.)
The hotfix mostly addresses issues brought up with Update 19 for Consoles, which might explain why it didn’t get a lot of announcements via other platforms. I mean I suspect each Console likely announced the update as well to be fair.
Stay safe out there, Soldiers!

Hotfix Live Now
We have just released a follow-up hotfix this morning, addressing the recent visual issues on console
We have also added an additional fix, which was issue where the Commander ability Artillery Resupply was missing for the DAK faction
Info on the Fix
With Smolensk being one of the most ambitious and technically demanding maps we have created for Hell Let Loose, getting it to run smoothly on console required a number of optimisations. Alongside improvements to the level and the game as a whole, some changes were made to render settings on both Xbox and PS5. On PS5 in particular, a small number of these changes had unintended side effects on visual quality. These settings have now been reverted, restoring visual quality to how it was previously, as well as work done to continue optimising performance on console, which will continue into 2026. Thank you all @HLL News. The Hell Let Loose team hopes that you all have a wonderful festive break
Please note, as normal XBOX & WinStore may take a bit longer to receive the update due to Microsoft’s update queue
