Direct-Connect Option for Private Matches
Hello! I wanted to leave a quick suggestion about the proxy system in Kyber V2. I’m from South America, and even when the host is from my country, all the traffic still goes through Kyber’s servers, which makes the ping quite high for players in my region. Some time ago, BattleDash mentioned that a direct-connect or LAN-style option might be added in the future, where players could join using the host’s IP. I know he’s no longer part of the team, but that idea would help a lot for small private matches with trusted friends, where latency matters more than convenience. If the team could reconsider this feature or look into adding it at some point, it would make a big difference for players outside NA/EU. Thank you for reading, and for all the work you’re still putting into Kyber.
Official Servers GA Map Cycle
Put each map in the rotation twice to the emulate how GA works on EA servers, where each team plays both light side and dark side on a map before the map switches
Can you bring back Mixed Game Modes?
Hi Devs! 👋 I think everything is great so far, the last two updates have really made the servers much more stable, and I don't experience any lag anymore. Keep up the good work! 😉 On the other hand, I have a suggestion: Would you bring back the mixed game modes? I liked it better because it added variety to the experience, but now that everyone is playing Conquest, that's all there is and can become repetitive over time. I think it would be really good because there aren't that many players now and you often see empty servers. And anyway, it would be pointless to run 4 servers until the end of the playtest if only 1-2 are full at most. I know this because I'm a veteran player, and 85% of players play GA all the time, so I know... (for me it's 90% GA and 10% HVV). So it would be good to keep the same rotation as now (although with a slight change): 2 GA + 1 Conquest That would be perfect! What do you think? 😃
Release date for full game?
Does anyone know the full server release date not playtesting?
UI sounds in Kyber
Add sounds to UI with volume option to lower the sounds in settings. This way it feels like the battlefront menus making it more immersive.
Custom background options
Dragging and dropping a png adds it to the collection of background images to select. With a trash icon to remove nonofficial backgrounds. This makes it easy to swap backgrounds instead of finding the image again to set it as a background. (Optional)Contest idea: Make it every few months there is a contest for backgrounds and the top 10 (for example) backgrounds are added as official backgrounds for the launcher.
Official linux support
I heard that someone runed Kyber on ubuntu but it would be nice to have official version. And the fact of soon realising Steam OS on pc’s will be good example of why we should have official Kyber Linux version.
New Switch teams
I think its such an elegant way to fix one team just being better than the other since veterans don’t like one sided matches and newer players don’t like to be stomped on. Some veterans would switch sides to even the odds and the newbies would switch to not be the losing side. When playing on a server the kyber louncher shows you all the players on each team. I think that would be the perfect place to put a switch teams button. (Optional and only for official servers)To make switching always possible I suggest you have the ability to switch even when the other side is full (20 ppl) but not when its over 23 so it doesn’t get too crowded but still aloes for this kind of auto ballancing, of course you still wouldn’t be able to join went its 20 ppl on a team or (after switching) any more than that
Server Plugins
Dedicated servers have the option to add things like Battlefield camera spawn animation, gun game, etc. How about allowing plugins to work for temporary hosted servers also, so if people want to play gun game with friends they can without joining a public server.
Leveling System
Since it can be overwhelming for new players to have all heroes unlocked right away, along with all classes, all Starcards, and so on, it definitely would be cool to have a level-based system - similar to the original Battlefront 2 - where you gradually unlock heroes, Starcards, etc. This way, players would have time to properly try out and learn each individual feature. I’m not sure how feasible this would be with the existing mods or for the Kyber team to implement, but it’s definitely an idea, and I think many players would appreciate it.
Planned
19Committed and queued
Kyber work offline?
Would it be possible to make kyber have an offline mod so people could use kyber to setup offline matches for lan or just for some offline gameplay without using frosty mod manager? Or have a way to disable or enable a LAN setting so people could host servers locally?
Filter friends server only
Make a filter for the server list that shows only servers that friends created.
KYBER Tutorial
Something simple like a video or a text based walkthrough of the Launcher and it’s features upon first boot.
Kyber Credits Feature
Make it so Kyber get the EA username and if their name is in the credits as a Patreon supporter, make their name appear first so they do not have to scroll a long way to find their name. Since there are so many wonderful supporters!😀
Add sorting by player count
This would be useful to find which server has the most players rn
Faster way to navigate server pages.
Clicking where is shows the amount of pages, shows all the page numbers and clicking the number makes you go to that page. This will reduce time to find servers instead of clicking the right arrow repeatedly trying to navigate to the last few pages.
Proximity chat accessibility
Not a major change but I personally think it would be useful to add a speaker icon next to people’s health bar above their heads to indicate who is talking. It can be very confusing when you don’t know which person is talking. This icon can also be added next to your squad member’s usernames too. When a person is talking you can maybe make the icon appear and not show up when they aren’t speaking. If prox chat is disabled then the icon cannot appear. (I do understand that this may be something for a modder and not linked to kyber itself except for the prox chat system) Another thing linked to this could with you to go to the menu below (imagine a whole bunch of other people but also being able to do this when not the host) and being able to click on a speaker icon that is next to every player and that can allow you to mute their proximity chat as-well so then you can speak to some people without being disturbed by another person (This is something that actually happened to me when someone’s background was louder than my friends and the game and I couldn’t mute them.) The stock image below is what I meant by “speaker icon” in case it caused any potential confusion haha. Thank you very much for reading :D
Ability to export fb.collections with kyber instead of having to use Frosty.
It is really annoying having to remake the entire load order when you export a collection when you could just export it directly from the launcher. I think this feature would be really useful for modders that have big collections, it would really save a lot of time and pain.
Make toggle to hide or show server password
That’s just qol change but it would be nice to have, especially for hosts since while creating server you can’t see what you’re typing there too
Make it so if you click on mod name in server browser it would redirect you to mods page in mod browser
So you can read what mod does when installing it

Add party/squad matchmaking
I hear in Discord that this is likely not feasible. All the same, I think it best to gauge interest in case this helps attract developers / shape future work.
Incremental Mod Updates
I’m not sure if it is possible, but make it so if you already have one mod downloaded (Bf expanded - for example) and they update it. Could it be possible for kyber to detect the difference and update the portion that does not match instead of repeatedly redownloading the 6.1 GB file everytime?
Afk auto kick
I would love to see auto afk kick from OFFICIAL servers since its such a simple fix to seeing 3 or 4 ppl on your team afk. It works in other multiplayers and even vanilla bf2 so I don’t understand why its not in Kyber
Proximity Chat - Push-to-talk
The push-to-talk option is currently in development but not yet release-ready. We’ll have more news to share about this in our next Development Update over on the KYBER website.
"Server is full" needs better error UX
In cases like this, users do not realize why their game is crashing because they do not or can not read the error. There should be a better popup explaining that the server they tried to join is full.
Change default mod category to "all mods"
When you launch game, it always goes back to “audio” mod category, I suggest changing it to “all mods”
An entity that provides the current date and time as integers.
Purpose: Making mods that can change depending on time in real life. Examples: features that activate on April Fools day or Christmas.

Press Enter to Save Collection Name
When editing a collection, pressing enter while the title input field should click the save button. Perhaps use ctrl + enter instead.
