Every update we do includes cleanup, sometimes we catch them before, sometimes it goes live and we need to tackle them. Stay patient through this process because important cleaning is taking place and we are reducing technical debt that has been sitting in the project for awhile.

This hotfix targets key issues reported by players and/or affecting game play. We'd like to thank you all for those effective reports and for providing the team with the necessary grace to assemble this patch.

Since the launch of WWII Online, Spawn Camping has persisted and has driven players away and caused a lot of frustration. This update represents the single greatest effort to improve that experience by providing initial spawn-in protection from campers. Players will have a brief few moments to take cover, despawn, or eliminate the threat if possible.

Truck drivers now have the full mobile spawn deployment suite across all trucks and haulers (armed/unarmed) as well as SPAAs (including the heavier ones). We want to keep mobile spawns easily deployable, do your part to keep the battle going!

Version 1.38.2.0 - January 2026

Introducing "Spawn Protection Mode," providing global player protection upon spawn in. This update also dramatically improves quality of life for our truck drivers and logistics operations, enabling all mobile spawns across all trucks and haulers (armed or unarmed), and self-propelled anti-aircraft weapons.

• Spawn Protection Mode for air, land and sea units.

• Fallbacks for moveable brigades now survive server restarts.

• Trucks, Haulers (armed or unarmed) and SPAAs can now deploy all mobile spawn types.
