Void Future: Hacking Protocol Patch 1.0.1 Clears Blockers and Rough Edges

Void Future: Hacking Protocol has received its first patch since launch, with developer rvlinteractive targeting a broad sweep of bugs reported by the community across gameplay, interface, audio, visuals, and localization.

What changed

Gameplay

  • Fixed several progression blockers that could prevent players from completing specific missions or chapters
  • Clarified objectives in the "Evading Detection" hacking minigame
  • Fixed a hacking minigame that could become unresponsive
  • Fixed hot dog purchases failing to correctly deduct Crypto
  • Prevented multiple eating animations from triggering simultaneously

User Interface

  • Fixed incorrect gate status indicators after unlocking doors
  • Fixed scanner UI alignment and menu scaling on ultrawide and high-resolution displays
  • Removed a "Lorem Ipsum" placeholder objective text visible in one section
  • Added missing item pickup notifications
  • Fixed missing objective text and interaction names across multiple chapters

Audio

  • Fixed a bug that could reset music volume settings after collecting an Audio CD
  • Corrected music playback behavior in Chapter 6

Visuals & Level Design

  • Improved lighting in several areas
  • Fixed missing geometry, visual holes, LOD popping, and out-of-bounds visibility
  • Added missing NPC collisions
  • Fixed weather inconsistencies in Chapter 3

Localization

  • Improved English and Polish localization, including text formatting, clipping, and translation fixes

The patch note closes with a note that more updates are already in development — which, given the breadth of issues addressed here, will matter most to players who hit a hard stop before the credits.
