- Update 1.6.1 - 30 April 2026
There were a few extra features we intended to include in the 1.6 Creators' Update, but they didn't quite make it. This patch adds the final few and fixes issues reported since then.New FeaturesWe've added a new Mission Browser to the editor. This replaces the previous "file picker" style popups with something friendlier. The new UI is fully controller-compatible and offers more options directly from the mission list.The browser will search common locations, but if you had previous maps in a custom folder, you will need to copy them to your game directory if they are no longer found.New missions created via the Editor will be automatically cloud-saved. This prevents you from losing your missions if you have computer issues, but also means you can seamlessly switch between desktop and Steam Deck for editing, and all your in-progress missions will be synced.There is a new Resize Map windo…

A new widget has been added to the bottom left corner to show terrain and unit info for the object currently under the cursor.The green highlighted area for movement is now a higher contrast green when playing on Ice environment missions to aid readability.Maps that defined a custom max-health for a unit can longer set this value to 0.

- Update 1.5 Now Live - Balance Changes & Campaign Refinement - 17 October 2025
Commanders!Update 1.5 has landed, and with it comes a major balance pass for Warside. This update is all about fine-tuning the battlefield: smoothing out difficulty spikes, refreshing underused strategies, and laying the groundwork for a more balanced Warside experience.Balance Update – Better Choices, Better BattlesWe’ve taken a close look at how players are approaching units and Battle Powers across all game modes, and have made a number of adjustments aimed at encouraging more diverse play. We're also aiming to make a wider variety of playstyles viable in multiplayer games.These changes aren’t intended to completely shake up the current meta, but to better steer gameplay towards our original design goals. Highlights include:Infantry-type units were generally underutilised for everything other than capture. All specialised infantry have been buffed to better encourage their use. The s…
- Bug Fixes for v1.4.1 - 2 October 2025
Fixed crash when pressing shoulder buttons for next/prev unit when there was a unit at (0, 0). Fixed the camera sometimes locking on Steam Deck when resuming from sleep. Fixed dialogue trigger if Flint is defeated during "Desert Storm" mission. Fixed shaders not always returning to the pool after using Mission Editor. This resulted in a gradual slowdown if continuing to play, which is now resolved. Audio levels have been rebalanced to further raise SFX levels relative to music. Players can still adjust volume sliders as normal if a different balance is desired. Fixed an issue in multiplayer where transport units were not correctly syncing their contents if a player lost connection and then reconnected. Fixed a number of crashes that could occur on the credits screen. Units affected by Neural Overload now correctly account for units within their minimum firing range, and will reposition…

Changes: Added Tab key bind to jump to next unused unit (controller users can already use the shoulder buttons). The game version is now displayed on the main menu to make it easier for our team to help with support issues. Updated the contrast in subtitles to make them easier to read on Steam Deck.

- Update 1.2 Now Live – New AI, Brutal Difficulty Update, and More! - 23 May 2025
Commanders, Patch 1.2 is now live. Prepare for smarter enemies, tougher decisions, and an even more brutal battlefield. Brutal Difficulty Update We've rebalanced existing campaign maps to make Brutal difficulty a true challenge worthy of its title: Enemies now start with more units (mission and difficulty dependent) and deploy them more aggressively. Maps support having extra properties based on the difficulty setting, giving the enemy increased income, and forcing you to fight harder. Our new AI system makes fewer mistakes and will punish yours. The ability to configure extra units and properties for your own maps will be coming as part of 1.3, enabling you to make Brutal Skirmish maps for others to play too. Using gameplay data from across the community, we’ve analyzed player performance and grouped difficulty levels into target skill cohorts. The campaign has been rebalanced with the…

Skirmish mode also shows any missions you have created in the Editor, so you can now configure and battle on your own maps without going through the Editor. This is just the first stage! As we continue moving through our roadmap, we'll be adding a new interface to discover maps made by our community, giving you an unlimited stream of conten…
