All Hood Warfare 2 patch notes
Newest first, summarized from the developer's posts on Steam. The developer numbered the first patch 1.0.10 and the second 1.0.1.4, and we use the names from each post.
Patch 1.0.1.4: private matches (October 13, 2026, US time)
- Private matches: create a lobby that only opens with a password and play with your friends.
- Anti-cheat: fixed players being kicked by mistake.
- No audio: fixed. Open the settings and select an audio output device.
- Stability: fixed various problems joining games, and crashes.
Patch 1.0.10: voice chat, anti-cheat and spawns (October 12, 2026)
- Voice chat: talk to the whole lobby or just your team. Push-to-talk is on T by default, and you can switch to open mic in the settings.
- Anti-cheat: added an anti-cheat system and a Report button in the pause menu. The developer says it reviews reports and bans players it finds cheating.
- Spawns: moved, with spawn protection added. On very small maps like Supermarket, fights still end quickly.
- 10+ bug fixes: loadout presets not saving, progress sometimes not showing at the end of a match, your character choice not saving, and the wrong ping in the join match screen.
- Drive By: changed where the Drive By killstreak happens on some maps.
Launch (October 8, 2026)

Hood Warfare 2 not working? Fixes for common problems
The two patches above fixed most of the early problems, so first check that you're on version 1.0.1.4.
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| Crashing, or can't join games | Update to 1.0.1.4, which fixed various join problems and crashes. If it still crashes, verify the game files in Steam: right-click Hood Warfare 2 in your library, then Properties, Installed Files, Verify integrity of game files. |
| No sound | Open the game's settings and select an audio output device. That's the fix from patch 1.0.1.4. |
| Kicked by anti-cheat | Patch 1.0.1.4 fixed false kicks, so update first. |
| Progress, level or loadouts look reset | Patch 1.0.10 fixed loadout presets not saving and progress sometimes not showing at the end of a match. Update, and if it still happens, report it to the developer (see below). |
| Won't start at all | The game needs Windows 10 64-bit or Windows 11 with DirectX 12. It doesn't run on Mac, and Steam Deck is untested. Check your PC with our system requirements checker. |
| Lag and rubber-banding | Players report that matches run on another player's PC and can switch hosts mid-game, which causes lag spikes. A stable, wired connection helps on your side, but the hosting itself is up to the developer. |
How to report bugs and cheaters
- Cheaters: use Report in the pause menu, added in patch 1.0.10.
- Bugs: the developer asks players to report bugs in its Discord. You can also post in the game's Steam discussions or email trapstargames@protonmail.com, the support address on the Steam page.
