Diff - known issues - SAND: Raiders of Sophie Wiki

11 The developers of SAND: Raiders of Sophie publish a known-issues list with every numbered update and keep a longer one on the publisher's support hub. This page reproduces the state of those lists as of September 10, 2026, the date of the tenth update and of the support hub's last revision. It is a dated snapshot: a fault listed here may already be fixed by the time you read it, and the lists change with each patch. For how updates have unfolded since launch, see Early Access and Servers and Online.

13-Two items from the September 1, 2026 list did not survive to the tenth update: a brief freeze when closing the players list, which set in after it had been opened four or more times, was fixed on September 10, 2026, and the broken turret and steering-wheel animations after an orbital strike were reported fixed the same day. Everything else on the ninth update's list was carried forward unchanged, and the tenth added the note about Intel graphics processors.

1515 Anti-Cheat and Kicks

1616

1717 Suspicious-activity kicks are a separate category, handled by an automated system the developers say they are still tuning. Lag spikes, a character flung by a Trampler collision, unusual ladder use and software that blocks the anti-cheat from starting can all trigger one, and being kicked a few times leads to a matchmaking cooldown of roughly an hour. Those rules, and the difference between a kick and a BattlEye ban, are on Servers and Online. Hardware-specific problems, including the Intel processor crash advisory, are on System Requirements.
