Update 0.7.3.61

News
1

Commanders, outdated versions of sound modifications can cause performance issues and in some cases may even lead to game crashes. Players themselves have no way of identifying that the problem lies in one of their installed sound modifications.

At the moment, we are trying to find a solution that will allow us to detect malfunctioning modifications on the client side before they can cause any issues.

Until such a solution is found, we are forced to disable sound modifications. We hope that you understand our decision.

Other changes

  • Returned the missing vehicle camouflages that disappeared with the “Hidden Threat” update.
  • Re-enabled the purchase of vehicle camouflages.

So the developers finally realized the problem with their existing sound mod system (not that I can think/make a better one)
And then they decide to (temporarily) kill off every sound mod, even the good ones … only because they didn’t bother to look at the problem in the distant past, and that it snow-balled into a big issue today

I have been busy making instructions to help Modders update their sound mods:

And then this happens right as I have just started … I really have no words

From a technical stand point, however, I know this must be done
As I technical person myself, I am well aware that it will cause a ton of issues such as crashing the client etc.
Technically, disabling sound mod is the safest and fastest way to instantly prevent those issues, I just hope they will figure it out soon

And finally, I am not one of those internet haters, so I am able to appreciate things.
The step that the developers are talking right now is very important to push the game mod support forward, and I personally appreciate this step (just not really the approach)

" and that was the last time modifications were ever seen again ".

all to say,

Work together and actually document the various changes done to sound mods and warn the actual modders through the mods dedicated discord ( or forum ) section : :x:

Remove them entirely with a mere " sorry " neglecting the fact that it destroyed countless of hours of work done by modders, and don’t even warn them what was changed after each update: :white_check_mark:

Not really true, but I cant help but feel sad about what I am seeing right now…

In a technical stand point, however, I know this must be done
It will cause a lot of issues otherwise

I am just disappointed that they only take a note of this today instead of in the past

Are select fire reworks still planned or is that canceled? And if still planned what was the issue with the changes on test server?

Thank you devs for making me auto login into enlisted on xbox one

This guide is of course super helpful, but it’s unrealistic to expect everyone to find and check the exact guide on how to update them, or more likely even that they would be able to immediately update them each and every time an update drops. Yourself and some of the other dedicated modders might indeed do so, of course, but even then this requires you to update them immediately to prevent people logging in to try out updates having issues and not understanding why, which is unfair to expect of you too.

The developer approach is trying to find a solution to detect them and some way to make this clear to players or solve the issue ourselves for the future to prevent performance issues/game crashes without players using the mods realizing why, not to remove modifications altogether.

The news says:

Not “forever”.

True, and I totally agree. This is a very big problem with people these days not having the patience to read

This is indeed the way to go, I overrall appreciate the devs finally taking the step.

No compensation for resetting condition, scale and rotation of all my camouflages?

Thanks for wasting like hour (and maybe far more than that) of my time for no good reason whatsover.

Plus I don’t even have the certainty this won’t ever happen again.

Hello, does that include console hard freeze, although I have closed my app and reopened Enlisted on Ps5 after 3 matches, haven’t had any issues as yet.

which could have been entirely prevented from simply logging changes done to sounds.

clearly stating what was changed, and what was added / removed.

and maybe, just maybe,
give a warning before playing.

hence;

  • Logs of technical changes

  • warning as soon as you boot up the game if the game detects modified files ( which already does ).

or, much like mods, warn that the current sound mods are outdated.

it’s not rocket sciense.

i refuse to believe it’s that hard in 2026.

let’s stop pretending otherwise. shall we.

instead, no.
someone opted for the laziest way out.
and remove entirely the ability to hotfix them.

regardless if someone could more or less read.

sir, that’s sarcasm.

i mean, i would hope not forever. but given the previous tracks of records for the editor such as QOL and equipment selector, i’m not so sure of.

Well you know there are people (like me) who is inert to sarcasm, and its @MajorMcDonalds 's duty to make sure nobody take the sentence’s meaning wrongly

What I find bizarre is the select fire rework has had no actual communication.

It was introduced in test server without any announcement besides patch notes

The devs didn’t give their justifications

They quietly decided not to implement it.

No justifications

And they aren’t communicating whether it’s still happening or not

Did the developers mention in more details about what those “performance issues” might be and what (in particular) might have caused them?
(I am just curious, if nothing you can tell, then ignore)
