Co-op version checklist: upgrades & saves
Compare installed versions, preserve the historical upgrade/save rules and record 1.0.5 loading or performance symptoms.
The official 1.0.3 notes say the crew uses the host’s upgrade matrix and a purchase by any crew member upgrades the crew. That is a specific upgrade rule, not proof that every vehicle, save or kind of progress is shared.
Before the next group session
Checks stay in this page’s memory. Nothing is sent or saved.
This preparation list helps establish the group’s version and save context; it does not guarantee a successful connection or repair.
A historical requirement is not a downgrade instruction
The 1.0.3 notes required every crew member to be on 1.0.3 to play together at that time. That is a dated patch statement, not a current instruction to install or return to 1.0.3. Compare the versions everyone is actually running and consult the current official notes.
The 1.0.4 notes separately state that saves from that version cannot be opened by older versions. Record both the installed version and the save’s originating version if known; do not assume matching lobby versions also proves save compatibility.
Loading or performance trouble in 1.0.5
The developer reports fixing a reproducible freeze in some worlds around 30 seconds after loading, affecting both DirectX 11 and DirectX 12. This is not a statement that every Not Responding message or loading delay has been eliminated.
The notes also report reduced garbage-collection stutter in large bases and fixes for memory leaks associated with leaving a world or removing structures. No measured frame-rate percentage is given. We have not benchmarked these changes.
If trouble remains, record your installed version, graphics API if known, approximate time after loading, solo/host/guest role and the visible symptom. Do not assume switching APIs, starting a new world or overwriting saves is a validated fix from this guide.
Before making a crew public
In 1.0.5, creating a public session or making an existing crew public requires confirmation. The developer says the warning explains other players’ access and points to kick/ban controls in the Esc menu’s crew area. Read that warning before confirming; version checks do not replace an access decision.
