Hell Let Loose Patch 17.1: Great Quality of Life optimization

Performance boost thanks to DirectX 12

With the new support for DirectX 12, you can now enjoy better frame rates and more stable gameplay - especially on modern PCs. If you prefer to play it safe, you can switch back to DX11 at any time. Ideal for intense battles!

Medics will be more useful than ever

An often criticized aspect has been completely revised: Medics gain more XP, now heal you twice as fast (2 seconds for revives and bandages), and with the "Call & Response" system, you can now call for help yourself as a wounded person - medics will then see you more clearly on the map.

Bipods 2.0 - More precise and flexible

The annoying bugs with MG tripods are history! Patch 17.1 gives you a stable, flexible bipod system. Deployment is more reliable, positioning adapts to terrain and cover - ideal for long firefights.

Dynamic weather for more immersion

Whether it's rain in Kharkov or sandstorms in Africa: weather effects are now also available on older maps. This not only increases realism, but also brings tactical variety - because sight and sound change drastically.

Explore mode & new VOIP options

Explore the maps offline in Explore mode - perfect for new players or training sessions. You can also continue talking to your squad after the match or mute all voices using the "Mute All" button.

More features & fixes

• More RCON commands for server admins

• Visual overhauls on maps like Tobruk & Foy

• Improved UI and more stable environment effects

• Various bug fixes and quality of life adjustments

Conclusion

An update you can feel. Patch 17.1 addresses exactly where the community has called for improvements: more performance, smarter medics, more realistic gameplay. If you regularly go to war, this update is a must - for a better overview, more dynamics and an immersive experience.
