For Tech & Platform Users: Hardware optimizations, Steam Deck Proton updates, and controller aim-assist adjustments will be routed to our Rogue Core platform and device support status page

How We Verify Rogue Core Updates and Patch Notes
To ensure our Rogue Core updates and version history remain authoritative, we strictly enforce evidence labeling:
🟢 Official Confirmed: Data pulled directly from Steam News, Ghost Ship Games press kits, or in-game patch notes. 🟡 Community-Tested: Reports of stealth nerfs, undocumented mechanical interactions, or bug workarounds sourced from Reddit or Steam Discussions. We do not treat these as official patch notes. 🔴 Video-Informed: Values observed from official trailers or authorized creator gameplay. Valid for tracking, but marked [Pending Verification] for exact database numbers. ⚫ Unknown / Datamined: Unannounced future content. We label this [Tracking] and do not publish it as confirmed roadmap material.

If you are experiencing a game-breaking bug, a black screen on startup, or an "EOS matchmaking failed" error, do not look for a fix in the general patch notes here.
👉 Check current Rogue Core known issues and safe workarounds
Our Updates Hub tracks whether an official patch has been deployed to fix a bug. The exact troubleshooting steps, community workarounds, and server status tracking reside exclusively in the Known Issues tracker to prevent you from using unsafe, unverified system fixes.
