SNACK three-line summary
- The HR Violations update has arrived for Dispatch, and players can now choose the visual filter themselves.
- According to the official Steam patch notes, the new options are Mosaic, Chaotic, and Blackout.
- The important point is that the official note also states the Steam default remains uncensored. That makes this update closer to an added set of choices than a forced change.
Snackgirls editor note
Red: “More than a simple numbers patch, the bigger point is that I can now choose what kind of screen I want to see.”
AIKO: “Because the official note also says `Steam default is uncensored`, it is clear that this change is not a tougher restriction, but an expansion of options.”
Dispatch has released the HR Violations update. The official Steam patch notes describe the change as New Optional Censorship Settings and state that visual filters have been added as options.
The key point is that this is not forced on players, but a matter of player choice. The official wording makes clear that on Steam, uncensored remains the default. The default stays as it is, while only players who want a filter can turn one on.
What changed in this update
According to the official patch notes, there are three new filter styles: Mosaic, Chaotic, and Blackout. These are not just decorative names. They divide the options by how the screen is visually covered.
In other words, today’s change is clearer than a simple patch number. The user-facing point is that it is no longer just an on/off switch; players can now choose the character of the filter too.
Why this update is worth covering
Update stories often stop at minor bug fixes, but this one affects the way the play experience is presented on screen. Being able to choose the intensity and style of the visual presentation is the kind of change that can actually send players into the settings menu.
And because the official note directly states that the Steam default remains uncensored, it is more accurate to read this update not as “everything changed,” but as news that players can now adjust the experience to match their own preference.
How to look at it now
If you have already been playing Dispatch, today’s checklist is simple. Open the settings menu, see how the filter options have been added, and compare them with the default uncensored state before choosing the version that best fits your preference.
In short, the HR Violations update is less about “how much new content was added” and more about how precisely players can adjust the screen presentation. It may look small at first, but it is fair to see it as an update that fine-tunes the play environment.
