Unfortunately 0.9.9 introduced a couple of pretty nasty bugs that needed to fixed instantly. Also fixed some other less severe issues, that may be older or also came in the last update.
0.9.9 hotfix notes
Bug fixes:
Fixed a bug that caused sleeping enemies in night missions to have a high probability to fell out of bed so badly they fell out of the map. This caused bugging in "clear all enemies in the area" -type objectives, since they just disappeared. So, there was a high chance that the player could not finish the mission. Warehouse Wars was one of them.
Fixed a bug that caused some issues in the keybindings if using other than default keybindings.
Fixed a bug that caused the game crash when commanded Ai team to assault through a certain door(s). Found one, not sure if there were more of them, but all other similar issues should be fixed now.
Pausing the game pauses now also the smoke mortar bomb spawner in Warehouse Wars.
Fixed bugging in the Molotov flames that caused them sometimes be hidden even should be visible.
Fixed the smoke grenade to release smoke only when the grenade is on ground and not moving. Also fixed some visibility issues.
Fixed a bug that caused Dexter's C4 icon and text missing in the game controller item selection wheel. It was still possible to select C4:s from the empty slot.

Blacklist Brigade - Version 0.8.0 - New Mission Update!

Added a night vision (Default key 'N'). Not just makes screen green, but also adds some glow to characters to make them clearly visible in dark surroundings
Sleeping enemies can now be found on beds and sofas, waiting for a throwing knife to their faces (Night only)
If the player is in shadows, enemies need to see him for up to couple seconds before they detect. The required time is based on distance. Enemies are also less likely to detect dead bodies in shadows. (Night only)

Teammates can now quick commanded to move with F1-F3 keys
Fixes and improvements:
Removed the enemy health bonus from multiplayer. Was max +25% in 4 player game. It made balancing weapons etc. unnecessary complex.

Made some sound effects play with lower volume if there are sound blocking walls/floor between the player character and the sound's location.

Fixed a bug that caused player to get stuck on ladders if pressing the dash button 'Space' while climbing. It can now also used to exit ladders instead of 'E'.
Fixed a bug that allowed interacting with mission objective items through walls if they were enough close.
Fixed a bug that caused enemies potentially drop their stuff to the another side of the wall.
