- Dystopia 1.5.7 Released! - 23 August 2026
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 & TranslationsCapturing 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 langua…
- Dystopia 1.5.6 Released! - 15 August 2026
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),…
- Dystopia 1.5.5 Released! - 3 August 2026
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 reloadi…

The stats website has been rebuilt from the ground up at https://dystopia-stats.com The old site served us since 2009. Though, parts of it had died over time.
