- 0.10.8 Changelog - 5 August 2026
Hey there, we've got some fun things for you all to try! The first is the long-awaited HUD Customizer worked on by Natan and Tom. You can activate the customizer by clicking the in-game TAB menu icon allowing you to completely change the locations, fonts, colors and more of the HUD! The lovely Pace has made a wonderful video on how it works here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI9mNxF1_zQ Speaking of HUD components, the commonly-requested Energy Speedometer has been added back into Momentum! This displays your total mechanical energy (kinetic + potential) as the height you could reach above your last jump, and has found a foothold in the Surf community in the past couple years. We're excited to have it back for those who use it! Panzer, with some help from Mac, has been getting BSPConvert cleaned up for its 1.0.0 release! 0.10.8 brings a ton of compatibility and general fixes to defrag…
- 0.10.7 Changelog - 12 May 2026
Featured Maps (1) We've added a new experiment to the map selector called "Featured Map Lobbies". Every hour, three maps are selected for each gamemode which are displayed at the top of the map selector. The idea is to give players looking to play with others a small set of maps to gravitate towards, much like the dedicated servers on other Source games. In the future, we are hoping to have extra incentives or social features for these maps to ensure they are a reliable multiplayer hotspot. Please leave suggestions or other feedback for this feature in Discord! Added (8) Added "Meet Your Maker" achievement unlock logic Added +ducktap bind for HLBhop. Use this bind to duck automatically when touching the ground. Added GetWindowDimensions to Panorama GameInterfaceAPI Added `SetSvgTextureSize( width, height )` to Panorama ImagePanel class to allow resizing SVG images Added `slopescale` pro…

Hey there, we have a bunch of big things in the works, but in the meantime we wanted to push out more fixes and minor additions we've done.

- 0.10.1 Changelog - 9 October 2025
Hey there! We're really glad you all have been enjoying the public release. We're hard at work fixing a lot of bugs, some of which (related to lobbies) are taking a bit longer than expected with finding the problems exactly.

- 0.10.0 Nearing Completion - Stress Testing In Progress... - 14 September 2025
Hey all, exciting times are ahead!We're nearing 0.10.0's completion and need your help. We're going to be doing a couple things:The default branch is now on the 0.10.0-pre codebase in order to get some stress testing done for our public 0.10.0 release coming by the end of the month.We've removed the 0.10.0-pre branch to remove redundancy.You can access the old 0.9.X code via the "0.9.X" beta branch found in Game Properties -> Betas. This is a temporary branch until we are well into the 0.10.X release cycle. You can use this to see locally saved replays, but online (leaderboards) connectivity will no longer work for it, as the backend used for 0.9.X is being decommissioned in favor of our 0.10.X production deploy.Our old 0.9.X dashboard will be taken down, but we have our new frontpage at https://momentum-mod.org and our new dashboard (temporarily) at https://staging.momentum-mod.org, so…
- 0.10.0 Nearing Completion - "Game Executable Not Found" Fix - 13 August 2025
Hey all!We're approaching our 0.10.0 update pretty soon here and accidentally broke the 0.9.X (main) branch with one of our changes (changing from chaos.exe to "momentum.exe"). Since Steam doesn't let us do branch-specific launch configurations, when we applied this change it broke the boot for 0.9.X. The fix is simple: simply opt-in to the "0.10.0pre" Steam branch for the playtest, found inside Properties -> Betas for the game.Though you may have some questions:Q: What if I still want to play on 0.9.X?Simply rename the chaos.exe executable inside bin/win64/ to be momentum.exeQ: Why didn't you just make the 0.10.0pre branch the default with this change?We're currently doing a LOT of breaking changes (obviously, hence this post) and didn't want to ruin an otherwise relatively stable build of Momentum while we finish up. We're still not fully set up on our end to make it the default branc…
