Expression Games posted another Server and Stability announcement for Update 18 on their Steam page and Discord today. It looks like Hotfix 2 will be rolling out tomorrow based on a quick glance at the announcement. You can take a peek for yourself on their Steam page, here.

It looks like some of these server and stability issues has really caused some real turmoil in the HLL community. Expression Games appears to be working hard to track down and resolve the issues.

The news of the hotfix does sound promising!

Stay safe out there soldiers! -Hobbit

Hotfix 2 Live Tomorrow – Server and Stability Update – Mon 27th October

We’re pleased to announce that Hotfix 2 for Update 18 will release tomorrow for all platforms.

We understand that the past few weeks since Update 18 have been challenging and we recognise how much this has impacted the community. We take full responsibility for this and want to reassure you that we’ve taken important lessons away from the experience.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing our plans to strengthen communication and feedback opportunities with the community. If you have any suggestions of things you’d like to see, be sure to let us know in the comments below.

We’ve also listened closely to your feedback and have made the decision to delay the release of Update 19. This will give us additional time to ensure that it launches in the best possible state. We’ll share the new release date soon.

We’d like to extend a special thank-you to server owners, community testers, and players who supported the team throughout the investigation and testing of Hotfix 2. Your cooperation and feedback were instrumental in helping us identify the issue and verify the fix.

Following the rollout of Hotfix 2, we’ll continue to post regular updates as we move toward the release of Update 19. For those who want to see the technical details, please be sure to read the blog post from Friday 24 October where Kieran, Studio Technical Director at Expression Games, goes into detail on the reason behind the crash and what’s been done to resolve this.

We remain fully committed to making Hell Let Loose the best experience it can be for all players, and we’re excited to share more about Update 19 and our plans for 2026 in the near future.

Thank you again for your patience and support over the past few weeks. Your feedback continues to shape the future of Hell Let Loose, and we’re grateful for everyone who has shared their thoughts with us. We’re looking forward to finishing 2025 strong with you, including the release of the brand-new Smolensk map.
