Hotfix — April 11, 2026

By wacko

We are now in the live production environment and introducing the Alpha Program.

General

We are now using our live production servers. This required an account wipe. Here’s what existing playtesters will have in their accounts post-wipe.
75k SLVR for each unlocked tank (excluding the starting 4)
4 Pilot boosters for each level 20 tank (which will get you back to level 20+)

You’ll notice that our in-development tanks are now marked with an Alpha Program symbol; what is that?
With this move to production servers, we’re going to start letting more new players in from our growing waitlist, and we want to make sure they get a good experience by focusing them on the tanks that have already had a full art pass. At the same time, feedback from you early playtesters has been instrumental in helping us improve our in-development tanks, and we want to make sure we can hit that high level of iteration going forward. That’s where the Alpha Program comes in.

In-development tanks will be marked as Alpha-Program-only
Players in the Alpha Program will be able to use Alpha Program tanks in Standard, Custom, and Sandbox games, but not in Ranked modes
All existing playtesters as of our last playtest are grandfathered into the Alpha Program. If you played Tyr on or at any point before March 28th 2026, you should see no difference in experience except that you now instantly have access to those Alpha tanks instead of needing to unlock them.
New players can join the Alpha Program by clicking the Alpha Program button in the tanks menu
In order to join, players must first have unlocked 10 tanks and then join the Tyr Discord server by linking their Discord account
This is an opt-in program with the expectation that players joining the alpha program will help us by providing feedback on our in-development content
As a heads-up, we will cycle tanks in and out of the Alpha Program as new ones enter development and others are completed and added to the main roster.
Muzzle Damp, Sidescrape Gear, and Precision Overcharger were previously unlocked on Alpha Program tanks. Since we want the Alpha Program to be completely optional, we have pulled unique components from their loadouts for now and will be re-add those components over time as we graduate tanks into the official roster.

Fixed an issue where sometimes the duration bars would not properly show up in the UI for things like ability duration or capturing
Fixed an issue where you could re-queue your party while party members were in a match, and this would cause you to get pulled into the new match while playing the current match.
Fixed an issue where player progression would sometimes not properly show on the home page, and you could see the default texture and XP values.
Fixed an issue where your vehicle would show as LVL19 even though it was LVL20.
