Vanguard Exiles Update Addresses Online Desync and Victory Point Bugs

Vanguard Exiles receives a bug-fixing update that resolves online desyncs, unexpected victory point shifts, and carried-over map modifiers. The patch also adjusts ready timers and reclassifies the Hall Hound.

A new update for Vanguard Exiles fixes several issues affecting online matches, lobby modifiers, and game balance. The patch is live.

Online and Lobby Fixes

Online matches no longer suffer from a desync bug that caused players to see different versions of the same game. Weekly map modifiers stay confined to their intended modes instead of carrying over unexpectedly. Multiplayer ready timers are longer, with extra time added during later Skirmishes.

Gameplay and Match Rules

High Stakes and Low Stakes no longer change the victory point target repeatedly every time they are played. The Bears and More Bears modifiers generate bears at a higher frequency. The Hall Hound is reclassified as a Beast, and stability is improved overall. Older replays are no longer compatible with this version.

Why this patch matters

This patch cleans up persistent lobby bugs and rule scaling errors that disrupted matches, making online sessions more reliable.
