🧪 BETA — for testing. You can go back to the normal version at any time: Settings → Updates → Go back to stable. Nobody gets this unless they turned Try beta releases on.
This one is a big one: you can now watch your own matches back, and there is a proper way to tell us about a bug.
🎬 Watch your matches — My Matches
A new page in the launcher. Every match you play shows up with when it was, which mode, how you placed and who else was in it — and when the server that hosted it was recording, there is a Watch button.
- The match plays in its own window, so a game you are already in is never interrupted. Close that window and you are back — nothing else changes.
- The whole HUD is on the launcher side, next to the picture: who the camera is on, their health, stamina, fame, perk level, pods, what they are holding and carrying, and everybody in the match in a grid you can click to follow somebody else.
- Controls: play / pause, −10s / +10s, 0.5× / 1× / 2×, drag the timeline to any moment, and a free camera you fly yourself with WASD.
- Sound comes through, with a mute button, and it keeps playing when you click away to something else.
- Report straight from the replay: the player on camera, at the moment you are looking at, goes onto the report form for you.
Not every match has a recording — a server only records if its host turned it on, and the recording is kept for a few days (longer if somebody reported that match).
🐞 Bug reports — Submit a Ticket → Bug report
The ticket form now has a third kind, for when something is wrong with the game or the launcher rather than with a person.
- Clip links (YouTube, Streamable, Medal, Twitch, Kick…) like a report.
- Filed from a match you were just in? It carries the match with it.
- Send your logs with it: tick the box for the tail of your launcher log, press Collect my log files and the launcher gathers the ones it knows about itself, or attach a file (a
.log, or a.zipof them). They are checked before they are sent and again when they arrive — log files only. - The ticket says Log files sent with this once they are there, so you know they arrived.
🩹 Also fixed
- Jumping around a replay no longer takes the replay down. Dragging the timeline a few times, or jumping twice in a row, used to kill the replay window. It holds now, however fast you scrub — the controls simply grey out for a second while the match is rebuilt from that point.
- The replay window keeps playing (and keeps its sound) when it is not the window you are clicking in.
- A match you watch opens on the right player instead of on the island.
- The log the launcher writes now starts a new day with a date line, and says which time zone its times are in — which makes a log you send us far easier to read.
- My account vs Report on the ticket form no longer borrow each other's options.
- The launcher repairs a broken game display setting before starting the game, instead of the game coming up on a black screen.
Found something? Use the new Bug report ticket (and tick the log box — that is exactly what it is for). Thanks for testing.
