[News] Next Update Schedule and the Next Development Process

Hello everyone, this is Troubleshooter development team.

Thanks to your consideration, all the members of the development team returned to work after a vacation.

The next update will be on Friday, September 17th.

The schedule has been delayed a lot due to our vacation. As the schedule is delayed, the development team will do its best to introduce more new content.

Below is the sharing of the schedule that the development team is developing or planning.



[h4]1. White Lion and Black Witch DLC[/h4]

It has been 10 months since the update of White Lion and Black Witch began.

Regarding this DLC, two Scenario Missions and one Violent Case will be updated in the future.

Considering the development cycle so far, the development of this DLC will continue until October.

It has been delayed too much than expected, and there is no doubt that the main cause of this situation is the development team.

However, there seems to be no other way than to do our best. Please trust the development team a little more.



[h4]2. The Joint Training[/h4]

The development team is developing Joint Training as well as DLC. ( PvP & PvE )

Through the system, you can train with the police units or other trouble shooter companies.

This content is a system that fights with units of the same size as my unit, not a few to many battles that we've experienced a lot in the Scenario Missions and the Violent Cases of the game.

The system will be available to users who use offline mode through NPC, and users who use online mode will be able to apply for Joint Training directly from the Shooter Street to other users.

Joint Training was originally designed exclusively for online mode.

However, since the official launch of the game, the actual number of players has not been so many and the player-to-player battle may not be active.

Therefore, we design it as a system that can be used alone in online mode and can be compensated accordingly. Based on this, we are also making it available in offline mode.

Joint Training will be subject to improvement and further updates even after DLC development is completed.

For example, we are also planning to update the Beast Match or Drone Match that is using your own beasts and drones.

The development team knows that the scenario missions and the violent case are more attractive than this kind of content for many people.

Nevertheless, the development team decided to challenge the possibility of online mode rather than abandon online content.

We will continue to improve and manage this challenge to produce good results.



[h4]3. The Next DLC[/h4]

The development team is thinking about whether we can develop the next season "Troubleshooter: Banished Children", as DLC, which is currently under development, enters the completion stage.

In particular, the biggest concern is whether to continue the story in the form of an expansion pack like MMO or make it a new game.

And most of all, we can afford to maintain the current situation, but we are very vulnerable to new challenges in terms of finance.

After consideration, we are considering developing additional DLCs that add new scenario missions, enemies, and systems after completing "White Lion and Black Witch" DLC.

It's sad news for those who are looking forward to the next season, but we will continue to talk about "Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children" by developing a new DLC and improving the game itself.

If we can lay the foundation for a new challenge through this process, we will definitely develop "Troubleshooter: Banished Children".

I'm sure many of you don't like this decision, but we'll do our best to repay you with fun content.

Thank you.

[Notice] The Development Team Is Going On Vacation.



Hello everyone, this is Troubleshooter development team.

Everyone is having a hard time due to the changes in the many external environments surrounding us. Are you all doing well?

The development team is going to take turns from this week to next week to have a summer vacation.

Due to this, the next update schedule was inevitably postponed to early September.

The update rate of the dev team has slowed down significantly this year, making you wait for a long time. I would like to apologize for this.

Members of the development team will take time to recharge and use it as a stepping stone to a greater leap forward.

We will inform you separately as soon as the next update schedule is confirmed.

Thank you for always understanding and supporting the development team.

We'll see you soon.

[Notice] Information of a fixed bug



Hello everyone, this is Troubleshooter development team.

The dev team received a report that one's account could be linked to another player's account on online mode.

In the process of finding a cause of it, we found that this bug was caused by judging similar Steam ID as the same Steam ID due to the inconsistency of the data in recognizing and converting Steam ID.

This bug has been fixed at 3 p.m.(GMT + 9) today.

This problem was caused by the poor performance of the development team. We're sorry for showing our inexperience in online mode operation.


As a result of the development team's identification of the accounts that could have been affected by the above bug, it has been confirmed that there have been about 60 cases in the past two and a half years.

Typical case that can be caused by this bug include:
  • There is a company in the company list that I did not create.
  • On the login screen, the company I didn't use is selected.
  • The company that I was using until yesterday disappeared.


If you have experienced something similar to the above, please let the development team know through the link below.

Once again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience you've experienced.

Thank you.
