Bodycam V0.8 #3 Patches Host-Triggered Crash Exploit, Revisits Economy

ReissadStudio has released Bodycam patch V0.8 #3, addressing two distinct problems that surfaced around the same time: a network-level security exploit and a progression economy players had grown frustrated with.

What changed

• Crash exploit patched: A method allowing a session host to crash other players' games — by spawning hundreds of entities — has been fixed. Players identified as abusing the exploit have been banned.
• Scope of the exploit: The studio states the only confirmed use was crashing games within a session. Investigation found no evidence the exploit was used to access personal data or for any other purpose.
• Economy adjustments: The patch also addresses the in-game economy. Weapon attachments were considered too expensive and currency too slow to earn — conditions the studio acknowledges had already driven players toward farming and exploits before the security incident surfaced.

On the communication delay, ReissadStudio explained it spent the day contacting affected players, reviewing network code, and investigating reports before making a public statement — and apologized for not confirming the investigation was underway sooner.

The studio also noted that increased visibility following the game's strong performance has attracted coordinated attempts to spread unverified claims and encourage review bombing, though it did not detail what specific misinformation was circulating.

The economy patch note appears to have been cut off in available source material, so the full scope of those changes remains unclear — but the direction is toward cheaper attachments and faster currency gain.
