Squad Hotfix 10.5.6 is now available for download, with changes aimed at client stability, custom lobby password handling, replay-file crashes, and broader crash protection. Players should relaunch the game to download the latest build and sync with the updated servers, according to the official Hotfix 10.5.6 announcement.

The replay fix covers crashes that could occur when the game generated a replay file. That includes automatic multiplayer recording, replay creation after a match, and replay generation through a console command.

Hotfix 10.5.6 follows the 10.5.5 announcement, which did not confirm that the earlier hotfix had gone live. The new build provides a confirmed downloadable release while also tightening how lobby passwords are handled behind the scenes.
