Rising Storm 2: Vietnam Hotfix 1.7.3 Patches Two VOIP Bugs
Tripwire Interactive's Rising Storm 2: Vietnam received hotfix 1.7.3 on August 10, 2026, addressing a pair of issues with the game's in-game VOIP system.
What changed
- The speaker icon that should appear above allied players while they talk was failing to display — this has been corrected.
- Players were being disconnected from the Vivox voice server on map change; they should now remain connected through transitions.
Both bugs sat squarely in the communication layer, meaning squads could lose situational awareness mid-match — either unable to see who was speaking, or silently dropped from voice entirely after a map switch. The fix is narrow in scope but addresses functionality that, in a team-oriented tactical shooter, matters more than its patch-note footprint suggests.
