Community12 Aug 2026Squad Up: The Clans, Scrims, and Web Overhaul UpdateLast week I shared news about Fragsurf's UI overhaul and a demo recording system coming to our next big update. This week, we're diving into the competitive update. Combat surf by nature is a very competitive experience. It's niche, hardcore, very difficult, but it's also very exciting and rewarding. Let's kick this off strong: in version 4.0, Fragsurf is getting a completely new competitive ex…
Join the Fragsurf community on Discord: Timer & Tricksurf are removed. They were both built on legacy code and content which has all been stripped out to significantly reduce Fragsurf's download size on Steam (from nearly 9gb to less than 3gb). These gamemodes may come back in the future on the new codebase & content systems. For now, our main focus is combat surf. We've published a beta branch…

This update fixes some regressions in legacy gamemodes. During our transition to a new gamemode system some old stuff has broken. In the future old gamemodes (bunnyhop & tricksurf) will be rewritten from scratch onto the new system, but in the meantime, we would like to keep them properly functional. · Fixed Tricksurf hud not displaying properly · Fixed Tricksurf whop not working · Fixed Tricks…
Thanks to everybody who joined us during the playtest. We reached about 16-17 players in a single server and noticed some users having performance issues. Our target for Fragsurf is a consistent, stable, and high number of frames per second, even on old hardware, this minor update brings us closer to that goal. Players received a promo item over the last couple days as a thank you for testing a…
Restyled the main menu · Improved footstep sound · Fixed bullet decals and impact effects · Upgraded to DX12 · Various error fixes · Various general improvements Please let me know if you have any bugs, crashes, or issues.
This update introduces improved functionality, performance, stability, open-source code, a better modding toolkit, improvements to gamemodes, new weapons, and more. Previously, Fragsurf depended on Chromium for its user-interface, which proved to be not only hard on performance, but also the cause of many crashes. OPEN SOURCE This is quite possibly one of the biggest changes in this update. The…
The Fragsurf source code is now public on Github. You're welcome to reference it, learn from it, copy it, compile it, edit it, spy on it, contribute towards development, and create issues/bug reports. I'm working on some awesome tools for mapping and if you're familiar with Unity you can clone the project and see what's new right now. The modding toolkit is included in the repository but will g…
Hello everybody! Our last update was in September of 2020, I want to post a quick update letting you know that Fragsurf is still in development. The reason it's taking a while is because this update contains a huge rewrite to many of the core systems that were written years ago. All that old code made adding new features and fixing bugs difficult, it was in desperate need of fixing. This re-wri…
This update adresses a performance and compatibility issue that existed in the UI system for far too long. If you had significant gameplay stutters or loaded into a black screen before, hopefully it's fixed/improved now. If not, please get in touch so I can work on compatibility for your hardware. 1.2.5 also introduces the Control Room. The escape menu is now the main menu, and when the game st…
Hello everybody! Patch notes weren't included with the previous update, so I'm putting it all here. There is a new way to support Fragsurf's development which you will see on the main menu. Creating a game as an indie developer is extremely difficult and expensive without selling out to a publisher. As a solo developer, basically every penny made goes into bills to keep a roof over my head whil…
Hello everybody, this week's development doesn't introduce anything too wild but rather focuses on fixing bugs as well as refactoring some netcode to improve the development workflow for anything in the future that requires networking. Some updates to combat gamemodes are in the works, but not quite ready to share yet. Patch notes: General: The Unity window can be resized again Fixed resolution…
Hello everybody, this week's development focused entirely on Tricksurf, adding a few important features as well as some new content. The most notable feature is the trick editor dashboard. Certain people will have a role (called editor) which allows them to create and edit tricks for the live servers. A few people will be chosen to be editors shortly after this update goes live, and will consis…
Hello everybody! This week's update adds a secure leaderboard system for the Tricksurf gamemode. The system is still evolving, currently it tracks top times for tricks as well as top players per map by point accumulation. It is only available on official servers, more servers are planned to go online in the future. This patch also introduces a change to the UI system to address some performance…
Hello everybody, this week focused mostly on improving combat surf. There's still a lot of work to be done, but I hope these changes make things a little more exciting and playable. This update also introduces a very rudimentary npc in the form of a zombie. This will be improved over time to start bringing in fun PvE gameplay elements and allow modders to create interesting things. · Tuned posi…
This week's development focused mainly on expanding the functionality of dedicated servers and plugins. Surf and bhop thrived for many years thanks to the ability to mod and create, and it's important to bring that functionality to Fragsurf and provide developers with the tools needed to create servers and gamemodes. This work started with Strafe Editor, and continues with the features added in…
