Patch 2026-06-10 June 10, 2026

## What changed **Character previews** — fixed previews not updating correctly **Tanker Suit** — now appears correctly for the Artillery unit **DX12 crashes** — temporarily reverted frontend to Update 19 version to resolve crashing; Update 20 frontend will be restored once the issue is fully fixed **Newsfeed** — improvements following its introduction in Update 20 **Juno Beach** — fixed floating objects, terrain seams, and water rendering issues **Canadian Forces content** — fixes for Canadian Transport Truck wreckage behavior ## Overall This hotfix addresses frontend crashes and display issues while temporarily rolling back to a previous frontend version to stabilize the game.
  • Fixes for several front-end and DLC-related issues, including character previews not updating correctly and the Tanker Suit not appearing for the Artillery unit.
  • Improvements to the Newsfeed following it’s introduction in Update 20.
  • To address the DX12 crashes, we have temporarily reverted the game's previous frontend version from Update 19 as part of this Hotfix. This change allows us to resolve the crashing issue while we continue work on the full frontend implementation introduced in Update 20. Once the underlying issue has been fully resolved, we intend to restore the Update 20 frontend in a future update.
  • Fixes for a number of visual and environmental issues on Juno Beach, including floating objects, terrain seams, and water rendering issues.
  • Fixes for Canadian Forces content, including the Canadian Transport Truck wreckage behaviour.
