What this dispatch changes
Patch notes are most useful when they are translated into a checkable operator response. Save, mission-entry, input, and control fixes affect whether a firing workflow can be completed at all; visual or localization fixes affect how confidently the same workflow can be read and transferred.
Key changes in the official notes
- Czech localization errors that broke mission intel.
- French localization errors that broke mission intel.
- Cat drop tooltip not disappearing when dropping it if the player looks at other interactables.
- Issue with the interaction with the coffee machine when trying to return to the main menu.
- Issue with the submit button not responding in certain scenarios in the pause menu.
Operator actions
- Confirm Steam has installed the newest available build before reproducing an older issue.
- Retry the affected mission or station with the same steps, then record what still fails instead of changing several variables at once.
- Rebuild any firing card whose range, charge selection, control state, or mission data may have changed after the update.

DAY ONE FRONTLINE REPORT
The opening hours of IRON NEST have been nothing short of extraordinary. Thousands of you have reported for duty, taken your stations, sent in field reports, and filled the Steam front with your reviews.
We’ve been reading your reports, and Nick is already working through them.
Today’s update is the first reinforcement to reach the front, shaped directly by your feedback. Thank you for every dispatch from the field, Operators. Please keep them coming through our dedicated 🔻 HUB // Reports, Feedback & Localization 🔻 thread here on Steam Community Hub. Every contribution helps.
As promised, launch was only the beginning! High Command is here for the long campaign, with frequent updates, patches and reinforcements ahead...

The support you showed us before launch already went far beyond our wildest expectations. But what happened after release is something we can barely put into words. We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: if games were judged by the strength of the community standing behind them, IRON NEST would be unmatched anywhere in the world.
Thank you for being here with us, Operators.
GLORY TO THE OPERATORS!
Nick & Dominik
