Black Ice Patch Notes — March 2, 2026
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
This hotfix is mainly to fix 2 experience-breaking bugs.
Regenerating Fix
Regenerating enemies were increasing their max health when regenerating at full health. This made for some impossible hacks. Sorry, it's now been fixed! I had noticed Regenerating was very hard in my testing but didn't realize why. Shout out to the players isolating the cause on the Steam forum.
Proxy Fix
While I had added improved waypointing and HUD prompting for the boss fight events that used proxy points, I had missed a line of code in the normal servers' Proxy security. This made those servers unbeatable since the proxy point would never be dismissed. Fixed!
Plus a few other fixes...
0.9.226 - Hotfix (3/2/26)
Fixed bug where Regenerating enemies' max health was also increasing.
Fixed missing HUD indicators and bugs for Proxy security.
Added HUD text alerts for ambushes, lockout, and proxy.
Made damage numbers and pickup text more visible on screen.
Fixed bug when looking at the info terminal for the Overkill shop in the Arcade.
Fixed some but not all powerup pickup notifications.
Only Startup Valley servers are hacked at the end of the demo, making for a brighter world.
