Dystopia 1.5.7
Okay, I made some screwups with the 1.5.6 release. Translation changes broke objective captured messages and notifications, so thats fixed. I found some bits that weren't translated, so 100% of the game should be translated in a ton of languages? Let me know if thats not the case.

Also per-team crosshairs is a thing now, since the community was asking for it.
Objective Fix & Translations
Capturing an objective shows its message and plays its sound again.
End Round screen shows up again - Same cause as above.
The Options → Keyboard bind names, the team-select Points and class Teammates counts, the scoreboard Spectators / Dead readouts and the class column, the voice-comm chat tags (Team / Global, and the TEAM: dead-chat prefix), and the BOT / CPU Player labels are all properly translatable/translated.
The team names are translated too. Punks and Corps now read in your language across the team menu, scoreboard, spectator list, join messages and the win banner. I tried to translate with the intended feeling of what Punk and Corp mean in English in all 31 languages, but let me know if its wrong.
Per-team crosshairs
You can now set a separate crosshair for Punk and Corp, color, style and size each per team. If you like the same for both, then dont change the toggle (Options → Interface.)
Damage Number Visibility
Floating damage numbers now stay where you last saw a target instead of trailing them through a wall. This was funny because you know I love my GL, and I was using it to see if people peeked from corners, so, yeah, not good.
Interface
Changed main menu / no-team HUD color. The reason I'm going this way is to get Dystopia to be more color-blind friendly, but I may take a different approach. Also, main menu hovers look plain if its all white/gray.
The in-game M menu (team / class / loadout) buttons are fully opaque so you can see them easier when in a new game, and the Corp hover color is a corp blue instead of the red it had???
Credits changes based on emails I'm getting.
Thanks to everyone testing 1.5.6 and sending reports.

Dystopia 1.5.6
This update is mostly about overdue changes.
First, a feature that's been in other games for ages; Damage Indicators, to go alongside our first-in-class hitbeep system.
The Half-Life 2-era Pickup Indcators have been re-positioned, re-colored and animated.
Importantly, with a month before Dystopia's 21st anniversary, we've added credits screen. And, most overdue of all: Dystopia now speaks your language, translated into 30+ tongues that follow your Steam setting automatically.
Of course, a nice pile of fixes for broken stuff from ages ago (or recently.)
Now in your language
Dystopia is translated into 30+ languages. The whole interface, menus, HUD, scoreboard, options, the cyberspace hacking programs, dialogs, the in-world map screens, and the mission briefings, now follows your Steam language automatically.
Languages: Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Spanish (Spain & Latin America), Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Portugal & Brazil), Romanian, Russian, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, plus English (duh.)
Damage numbers
Floating damage numbers, on by default, switchable off in the options menu. Every hit puts a number where it landed, then slide clear of the body, then sweep up and gather above the head into a total that fades when you stop.
Enemy numbers match your IFF color; friendly fire is flat grey so it doesn't look like scoring.
Kills fold their damage into the "+N frag" text to see killing damage that you did over the last few seconds.
Distance-aware. Numbers shrink and fade the farther the target is, to prevent clutter, and scoped zoom is accounted for.
Customisable per client. The defaults are tuned, but every part is a cvar available in the options menu:
Visibility: dys_damagenumbers (0/1), dys_damagenumbers_alpha (0-255 opacity), dys_damagenumbers_friendly (0/1, show friendly-fire hits).
Motion: dys_damagenumbers_gather_time (spread out), dys_damagenumbers_rest_time (hold), dys_damagenumbers_rise_time (sweep up), dys_damagenumbers_spread (distance off the body, px), dys_damagenumbers_headroom (height above the head, px), dys_damagenumbers_merge_time, dys_damagenumbers_lifetime, dys_damagenumbers_rise (fade drift).
Distance: dys_damagenumbers_dist_near / dys_damagenumbers_dist_far (full-size and faded-out ranges, units), dys_damagenumbers_far_scale (size at the far edge, fraction of near), dys_damagenumbers_zoom_comp (0/1, scope awareness).
Credits
A credits window on the main menu: everyone who has worked on Dystopia, 215 people over the years. This is long, long overdue for these great people.
Missing or listed wrongly? There's a punyhuman.com/contact link at the top of the window.
Dying and respawning
The HUD fades out when you die instead of vanishing in a single frame.
Swapping weapons on the spawn pad no longer replays the whole spawn effect. Changing class still does because that's a new body.
The deploy panel no longer reappears when you open the loadout menu while alive.
Interface
A new Interface tab, and the old Advanced Multiplayer button is gone. Now everything is immediately apparent, split into scrollable lists: HUD and visual settings on Interface, gameplay and input on Multiplayer.
Crosshair color is now a color picker button that opens a full picker for any color, instead of three RGB sliders.
Corps IFF on turrets is no longer grey when using per-team IFF colors (red punks / blue corps). A mangled color key in the scheme (since 2019) meant corps turrets were always gray.
The same typo had also caused the corps TAC-scan radar blip end early, which was fixed.
IFF overlays no longer get cut off on ultrawide monitors, and kill scores no longer clip near the right edge on ordinary widescreen either. (reported and tested by Falldog)
Chat wraps while you type instead of scrolling the start of your message out of view. The box is narrower and the font now follows your resolution properly.
The team/class/loadout menu (M) is properly centered at every resolution, and colored for your team while you're in-game.
Punk's ammo icon no longer turns corp blue while reloading.
Boltgun bolts trail are your team's color, so red instead of blue for punks.
While in a server, the menu leads with a big RESUME GAME where PLAY NOW usually sits, but with DISCONNECT just below it.
The ammo dispenser animates properly again, mostly: spin up, loop while dispensing, wind down.
The Options > Keyboard tab has its buttons back. Enlarging the scrollable box in 1.5.5 messed that up, sorry.
The pickup feed is redesigned. No more flat-yellow Half-Life 2 stack climbing into the radar. Pickups now slide in along the bottom next to your ammo, team-colored, and your whole loadout (grenades included, finally) flies in when you spawn.
The server browser is now "Browse Servers" (was "Search Servers"), matching the button that opens it.
Spectating
A round restart no longer freezes spectators. Restarting the round (or a map_restart) used to leave anyone already spectating stuck on a frozen camera, unable to change spectate modes. Spectators now carry on normally across the restart.
Third-person spectate no longer tilts sideways. Chasing a decker as they came out of cyberspace left the camera rolled over on its side; it now stays level (while still keeping the intended tilt during actual cyberspace flight).
A quieter console
The developer console is now much, much cleaner.
Tickrate and net rates
New tickrate command: Servers report the tickrate actually in effect; players see the server's tickrate next to their own effective rates, so a 128-tick server no longer looks like a 64-tick one from the client.
-tickrate on the command line is now all a high-tick server needs: Rate bounds are derived from it and reported at map load. Setting them by hand while the derivation is active warns instead of doing nothing (sv_rate_bounds_follow_tickrate 0 to opt out. Thanks D3ST)
New players start at updaterate/cmdrate 128 and rate 196608: clamped by the server, so it costs nothing on a 66-tick server and just works on a high-tick one. Existing configs keep their values; sv_minrate is the server-side lever for dialup-era rates.
Stability
Fixed two potential server crashes involving turrets taking damage from map hazards or without an attacking player.
Fixed the music player logging an FMOD error every time a track ended.
Thanks to everyone playing 1.5.5 this past week. Keep the reports coming.

Dystopia 1.5.5 Released!
A big community-driven update. Huge thanks to the players who reported bugs, dug into deep problems, and even sent fixes: bauxite, SnoopKirby, mv, vizzys, cartesianBear, Johnny, and xx . A couple of changes below are marked (experiment.) They're live and we want your feedback on
A big community-driven update. Huge thanks to the players who reported bugs, dug into deep problems, and even sent fixes: bauxite, SnoopKirby, mv, vizzys, cartesianBear, Johnny, and xx. A couple of changes below are marked (experiment.) They're live and we want your feedback on how they feel. WEAPONS & BALANCE
SmartLock pistols reworked (experiment).
Trackers are now painted on: hold right-click to enter tracking mode (amber crosshair + scan tone), and a tracker fires automatically when your crosshair passes a valid enemy.
Right-click is purely for locking and always acquires, with both guns locked on, your oldest lock jumps to the new target, alternating guns.
Locking needs line of sight (768-unit range, 2 seconds of grace after losing it), and a cloaked enemy can only be locked with thermal vision, while an active Cold Suit defeats locks it.
Lost locks are re-acquirable without reloading, with an audio cue when one drops.
A small dot appears in the center of the screen while both guns are locked on, so you can tell at a glance that you're fully committed and can still take a new target if you want one.
To keep painting fair, the scan tone others hear is directional: you only hear someone painting while their pistols are actually pointed your way. A Sound Suppressor silences it; the SWT implant is the counter and hears it anyway.
Server-togglable back to classic behavior.
SmartLocks hit softer and fire at a fixed rate.
Damage and rate of fire go from 8 per shot every 75ms to 6.434 every 78.125ms - about 20% less DPS, to offset how much easier the new locking is. The interval is a whole number of server ticks at every tickrate, so the guns now behave identically on every server instead of quietly varying with the host. (SnoopKirby)
Boltgun: bolts now embed in doors and other moving brushes on direct hits. They ride along and stay right-click detonatable, and ricochet on shallow hits instead of vanishing. (vizzys)
Boltgun damage lowered from 85 to 82. Just enough that a headshot no longer one-shots a full-armor Light. Body shots still two-shot every class.
Assault Rifle secondary fire works with a partial burst instead of refusing to fire, scaling damage to the ammo you have. (bauxite)
Minigun knockback halved (experiment). It was the only gun with a 3x knockback boost; it's now server-tunable from "same as every other gun" up to the old shove.
BUG FIXES
Movement: fixed "stuck on object" prediction errors and rubber-banding on ramps and against props and movers - the client now predicts against the same obstacle positions the server uses.
Lag compensation: fixed a rollback bug that shoved players out of position. (bauxite, SnoopKirby)
Movement: a standing jump now lands flush to the ground instantly instead of resting a hair above it until you move. No change to bhop, wallrun or jump height. (SnoopKirby)
Stealth: weapon world models (a Light's katana, say) no longer stay invisible to everyone after their owner stealths and unstealths. (Johnny, xx)
TAC Scanner no longer breaks on busy servers - it was dropping results past ~24 scanned players.
Rounds now restart when both teams first fill up, so the first players in don't play out a lopsided round that was already running.
Voting: mp_rounds votes apply the instant they pass, not at end of round.
CYBERSPACE
Fixed players (most visibly deckers) sometimes turning permanently invisible after a respawn.
Fixed a server crash when a decker died or jacked out in the first half-second of decking in.
Fixed the spectator camera staying tilted after decking out or dying while decked in (a 1.5.0-era regression).
Hardened the whole deck-in/deck-out flow: no more ghost meat bodies left at jack-in points, no more getting stuck half-decked. Dying while decked always removes your meatsack.
NETCODE
High-tickrate servers, up to 256 tick. The old hardcoded caps are gone, so operators can run high-tickrate servers for sharper hit registration and lower latency. Done properly in the official build - the client is told the real tickrate - so it's VAC-safe with no binary hacks. (engine research: SnoopKirby)
Rates follow the server automatically. Net defaults are modernised for 2026 connections, and a 128/256-tick server now gives you full-rate updates without ever touching cl_updaterate - before, you were silently capped. Your own settings are still respected. (SnoopKirby)
High-tick correctness pass, all found testing at 256: fast automatic doors no longer move faster at higher tickrates; melee viewmodel animations (most visibly the katana's block) no longer skip partway through; and servers keep a full second of delta history so high-ping players see fewer forced full updates. (SnoopKirby)
LINUX
Updated SDL: alt-tab and modern window/input handling now work; no more manual library swapping. (mv)
Raw mouse input on by default, matching Windows. (SnoopKirby)
Fixed the game failing to launch on modern Linux, and the console spam at the end of every round for players with stat logging on.
Custom maps just work now. Maps authored on Windows often reference assets with the wrong capitalization, which Linux's case-sensitive filesystem wouldn't load - you'd get ERROR models and missing sounds. Those now resolve automatically, so no more running the game under Wine to dodge it. (cartesianBear)
Achievements register properly again on Linux, in both Steam and the stats site, and a related server crash on unlock is fixed.
MENU & INTERFACE
The main menu is rebuilt. Far fewer entries: PLAY NOW up top in bigger type, then TUTORIAL / SEARCH / HOST on one line and STATS / ACHIEVEMENTS on the next - each word is its own button - then OPTIONS, DISCORD and QUIT GAME. Find Servers and Create Server are now SEARCH and HOST, the music player moved into Options, and the menu text is larger and no longer bold.
New PLAY button - one click finds and joins the best server for you: real players on it, lowest ping, maps you already have, never a passworded one or a version you can't join.
The main menu now crossfades through all of the background art instead of one fixed image.
The menus look like Dystopia now. The server browser, options, achievements and prompts are restyled from stock grey Source to the game's own palette - and each time you launch, it's a coin flip whether you get corp blue or punk red, instead of always leaning corp. Opening a dialog no longer dims the whole menu behind it either.
Dialogs say what you clicked: "Search Servers", "Host Server", "Options and Configuration".
The Options window is much bigger (it was tiny on modern displays), with the key bindings list using the extra room. On the Mouse tab, the two gamepad look-speed boxes actually work now - they'd been sitting off the edge of the window, wired to nothing, for years.
The server browser hides servers you can't join (wrong game version) instead of letting you try and bounce off.
Version mismatches explain themselves in plain language instead of "Server uses different class tables".
The Stats Page button opens your profile on the current stats site again.
Menus (vote / plugin menus) read the number keys directly, so they work even if you've rebound your weapon-slot keys.
The chat window is bigger (30% taller, 10% wider) with slightly smaller text, so more history fits.
First launch now picks your native resolution and borderless windowed.
MUSIC
Music plays past the first song again - playback used to stop after one track and stay silent.
"Silence audio in the background" now silences the music too. It only ever muted the game's own sounds; the music player runs on a separate backend that carried on regardless.
Music no longer restarts every time you change servers or drop back to the menu. Whatever's playing carries through the transition.
STATS
New stats backend. The game now talks to dystopia-stats.com over authenticated HTTP, replacing the old custom daemon.
Global awards are back on the scoreboard - the icons beside your name for the weapons and implants you hold the record for.
FOR SERVER OPERATORS & MAPPERS
New convars: dys_smartlock_paint_mode, the dys_smartlock_scan_* family, dys_minigun_knockback_scale, dys_spawntime_per_player (population-scaled respawn waves, off by default), and dys_min_client_version.
Live stats control: dys_stats_enabled applies instantly, plus a new dys_stats_restart.
Turrets: new "respawntime" keyvalue on npc_turret_ceiling, exposed in Hammer. (bauxite)
SECURITY
Fixed a remote server-crash exploit in chat handling - a malformed say command could crash any server. (reported by bauxite)
Thanks again to everyone for helping with testing. Keep the reports coming.

The old site served us since 2009. Though, parts of it had died over time. Awards hadn't
updated since 2009, and rank charts stopped this spring. The new site fixes all of
that, keeps every stat we gathered (when the stats website was working) over 17 years of play: 23,000+ players, over a million kills and adds some things the old one never could:
Live Feed: Kills and captures from every server, as they happen: https://dystopia-stats.com/feed
Round pages: Full scoreboard, objective captures, and the who-killed-who matrix for every round
Report tab: See where you rank among all players (top X% and your recent form)
Rivalry map: Find your nemesis, then click through to theirs
Faster everywhere, works on your phone (most of them anyway,) and links unfurl properly in Discord
An Early Warning for Server Owners!
Dystopia has updates coming over the next few months: we're targeting macOS support, better Linux
and Steam Deck support, and optimizations to the game and engine.
Once those updates start rolling out, your server will need a stats token to keep reporting to dystopia-stats.com. Without one, your server's matches won't be recorded, and players on your server won't see their in-game icons or global rank. Tokens are self-service and take about a minute:
Log in at https://dystopia-stats.com/servers
with your Puny Human forum account
Click Generate token (one per server) and copy the value it's shown once
Add it to your server's config: `dys_stat_token ""`
Nothing is broken today (I think, hah.) Your server keeps reporting through our old stats system, as-is until the game update arrives. But grab your token now so you're ready. Tokens are revocable from the same page if one ever leaks.
Found something broken or missing on the new site? Tell us in the Dystopia Discord
Changelog
New: live activity feed · rounds browser · player Report tab (percentiles + recent form) ·
rivalry map · player compare · class pages · self-service server tokens · Discord link previews ·
in-game rank/badge from the new system
Fixed: awards update again (frozen since 2009) · rank history charts alive again · players-online chart works
Improved: stats appear in real time · ~10x faster pages · mobile layout · Steam avatars
Removed: DGL league pages (defunct), signature images, QR codes
Leaderboards, full profiles, heatmaps, kill matrices, awards, achievements, and all data back to 2009 made it over as well.

We're releasing a very small hotfix to Dystopia 1.5.4 today. Nothing critical, but we jumped the gun on releasing a feature a tad early. With this update, Discord Rich Presence is fully supported, with all of its features fully utilized. Additionally, we explored small network console variable changes that should help for those that host servers. Happy graffing! Changelog

Added in a complete Discord Rich Presence
Rich Presence will display the current map, round timer, and player class
Players can invite each other by clicking + next to chat messages on Discord, or request to join within a user's profile

Tweaked rate console variable to improve network responsiveness. If your server has made a change to this historically, it will not be overwritten by the new value
Small versioning changes so that version properly reflects the client and server version. This will also prevent players from connecting to outdated servers.
