Squad 10.4 Hotfix 1 Patch Notes (4th May 2026)

PiP scopes were crashing people out of Squad, and Offworld Industries didn't sit on it. Hotfix 1 for Update 10.4 dropped on 4th May, and it's a client-side patch, so you just need to restart your client rather than wait on a server update.

The crash fixes cover three separate issues: PiP scopes, the server browser, and a freeze that could occur when clearing the cache. That last one is particularly annoying since cache clears are often a first step in troubleshooting other problems, so having the fix itself crash you was a rough loop to be stuck in. Offworld also patched missing skin textures on the WPMC and CRF M4 and M16 Wormpool rifles.

A couple of known issues remain: broken textures on the Desert M4 Skin for the USMC, an occasional crash on exit, and a client crash when using TSR Upscaling with a PiP scope. That last one overlaps with what this hotfix was already targeting, so it's clearly a persistent problem they haven't fully nailed down yet. Small patch, but the right priorities. The complete notes are below.
