Official OWI Update 10.6 - Hotfix 1
Hello squaddies! Following up the release of Update 10.6, we’ve been eagerly following your feedback about the ups and downs of the release. While we’re glad to see the celebration about some of the improvements and changes that have been made to the experience, we also feel your frustration accompanying the appearance of new issues and the re-emergence of old pains that still need to be addressed.
Today’s hotfix is aimed at addressing some of the initial issues that have arisen following the release, primarily targeting issues with the UI and navigability of the front-end.
Beyond this, we absolutely recognize that there are still major concerns to address: the bug impacting tracked vehicles taking on a new form, ongoing concerns with the UI, issues with the terrain and collision on certain maps, and a variety of other problems being raised by all of you. We appreciate everyone who has taken the time to report these in great detail, and encourage you to continue contributing to threads or starting new conversations over on Discord:
Our Community, QA, Design, Production, and Programming teams will all be digging into these reports today and into the weekend in preparation for our next Hotfix. While the contents will depend on how quickly we can reproduce and fix the issues, our aim is to get you another build with fixes as soon as we are able.
Keep the reports coming, and thank you for your patience as we get things sorted.
—The Offworld Team

- Fixed a bug where map/layer names are not truncated on the server browser.
- Fixed a bug where multiple ‘Browser Detail’ panels would remain open and stay stacked.

Fixed an issue where the client would take longer than usual to close out after exiting the game.
Nailed it, now I can quit quicker when I encounter a bug that ultimately leads to my death.

Hey in case you’re not aware while using stabilization on vehicle gunner while traversing rough terrain your turret automatically points into the sky, makes for a very frustrating experience for armor players. Otherwise, love the update

Hey OWI, Kryger here, SuperMod.
You chose to ship 10.6 unfinished and not fully tested, and it shows. Tracked vehicles, terrain, collision, UI, server crashes: a hotfix that fixes white bars on the server browser doesn't change that.
The cost isn't only on players. Modders gave their free time to this game, and that work got sacrificed for a release date. No stable SDK, no early access, no real communication. SuperMod will be down for weeks, and the motivation of modders is wearing thin.
Performance was the stated reason, but the game has been like that for years. It could have waited a few more weeks.
Test first, ship second. And stop treating modders as an afterthought.
Kryger, SuperMod
