I can't speak much to the design because the lag of the beta is absolutely unbearable. It's making the site borderline unusable. Are other people experiencing this? Is it a known issue being worked on? I never have lag on websites, this is bizarre.

I'm not a fan of the changes, mostly because they perform horribly at the moment. I get major stuttering/lag on Firefox while scrolling the home/search pages in the Beta layout when the current layout functions smoothly. Design wise, the inclusion of the game title on the home page is just clutter, everyone knows to just look at the top bar if for some insane reason they forget what page they're on. Same with changing the design of the tabs for New/Updated mods, keep them consistent with the ones shown on the actual mod pages.

A lot of these changes smack of someone just needing something to do. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I agree with others: a lot of wasted space trying to adapt the modern "mobile" look and feel. Don't get me wrong, it looks alright (minus the wasted space), but I don't think it's necessary or apropos for a PC mod website. Additionally, the new interface is very resource intensive, causing lots of lag and stuttering while scrolling. Had to revert to classic for the time being.

I love the new look and the search filter page. I'm experiencing a lot of lag while scrolling? Is this a known thing? Will it get better?

We've made some changes that may help you in regards to the lag all of you were experiencing. 
Please let us know if it helps.

Additionally, are you using the Adult content blur setting on the site?

Update -  Game and Images Quick Search

You may have seen the teaser of Coming Soon quick search results. We're happy to say it's ready. The new quick search now includes games and images in the beta. Please give it a go and see what you think. 

All Content Search:

All of the Content, all in one place. Please give it a try and tell us what you think.

User search: 

We have introduced user search that searches users directly, rather than displaying mods uploaded by a user. Let us know what you think!

We have still been working hard on various tweaks, bug fixes and improvements based on the feedback we have received across multiple channels and the site data we are looking at. This includes some nice quality of life updates like keyboard navigation and more work on performance improvements. 

Thanks for staying involved and giving your feedback throughout our process of updating these pages!

Another day, another update for you all. 

Quick Search - Favourite games

When you open the new quick search, you'll be prompted with a list of games to make it easier for you to go directly to the game page that interests you. 

If you have set a game as one of your favourites, it will be listed before typing in the search.

Any users that have not set favourites or not signed in will see a list of some of the most popular games on the site.

The Mod Browsing Beta will be closing on 10th March. Thank you for all your feedback over both the open and closed betas, which we have run across the last few months!
We will begin to push those changes live on the website. To ensure that this does not cause issues that disrupt your use of the site, we will be rolling out the various changes over the next few weeks. 

What is changing?

Are we stopping work on mod browsing once the rollout is complete?

No. We still have some work left to do, including further improvements to the search experience and any performance improvements we deem necessary. We'll also be very carefully considering your feedback from additional HotJar surveys, the Forums and Discord. 

 

How have we been assessing your feedback?

We have been using various locations to gather feedback across the forums, feedback pop-ups, Discord, other community locations, and site usage data. 

Here is an overview of the feedback we have received from the pop-ups. 

Game listing pages scored 4.4/5 (113 responses)
Mod listing pages scored 4.3/5 (756 responses)
Game home pages scored 4.0/5 (1,219 responses)


We carefully evaluated all the feedback and made some difficult decisions about which changes to implement. In the end, our design reflects the collective input of the wider community, prioritising the features and adjustments that the majority of users wanted.
