The developers have also implemented fixes for several critical bugs, some of which were actively exploited by players:

  • Resolved an issue causing game crashes when using DirectX 11.
  • Fixed a problem where players could get stuck inside the Harvester robot or amidst the debris of destroyed ARC robots.
  • Patched an exploit that allowed players to clip through walls when picking up fuel cells or field crates.

Embark Studios is continuing its preparations for the major Flashpoint update, which is scheduled for release on March 31, 2026.
