Hello Squaddies!

Welcome to Update 10.5.3!

We've released Hotfix 10.5.3. This hotfix is aimed at addressing a few game client crashes with mods installed, and to ensure compatibility with mods for Update 10.5. 

Some info behind the issues:

Our transition to Unreal Engine 5 introduced a new storage format that caused checksum calculation errors to go undetected. This issue prevented the game from detecting outdated Steam mods, resulting in "Network object failure" errors and frequent server disconnects.

Additionally, we have resolved a bug in which signature verification rules were incorrectly applied to mods, causing crashes in mods that contain PSO cache files. All fixes for these checksum and signature issues are now live in update 10.5.3, restoring stability and mod compatibility.

We would like to thank all Squaddies for their continued bug reports, feedback, and support as we continue developing Squad.
