As we welcome 2025, we want to take a moment to thank our amazing community for all the support throughout the past year. Our community has once again grown massively in size, and we couldn't be more excited to see new players join the fun. A massive thank you to all the talented mappers, testers, developers, content creators, and artists whove poured their time and creativity into making DDNet better with every update. Our deepest gratitude also goes to all moderators who keep our servers in check and welcoming for everyone. And lastly, we also want to express our heartfelt appreciation to those who have generously supported our project through donations. As DDNet continues to grow, so do our server costs. Last year's donations weren't enough to fully cover last years expenses, but we remain committed to improving and growing DDNet. If youre able to contribute, no matter the amount, it would mean the world to us and help us continue building a vibrant and exciting future for DDNet. Were also kicking off the year with the annual DDNet Photoshoot event! Join us and the community to capture your tee on this year's map. There are plenty of spots for everyone, so bring your friends and take part in the fun! (Pssst, there may even be some secrets hidden around for those who want a cooler shot.)

According to player reports and verified by Jupeyy the new AMD Radeon Beta driver 22.7.1 is currently crashing in DDNet client when using OpenGL. So far we have no solution and have reported this problem to AMD. As a workaround you can downgrade the GPU driver to a stable version again, or alternatively use the Vulkan backend in DDNet as per these instructions provided by Jupeyy: [quote author=Jupeyy]Right click DDNet in Steam, add "gfx_backend Vulkan" to the start parameters inside Steam (notice you HAVE to include the )[/quote] For non-Steam version you can edit the %appdata%\DDNet\settings_ddnet.cfg or %appdata%\Teeworlds\settings_ddnet.cfg and add a line with gfx_backend Vulkan, then start client.

I'm happy to present you our first DDNet Tournament since the Steam release, the Insane () map "Not Naufrage 4" by SickCunt & Feuerfaust Ace:
The Tournament will be played on Sunday, August 30 at 18:00 CEST on special Tournament servers in every DDNet location. No one has seen the map yet and the first team to finish wins! The map is really hard and faily, so if you're not a pro yet you might want to check out of the livestreams someone will surely be running! Stay tuned for more information! Thanks to Ravie for testing the map!
