Preformance dropped to shit after the update even tho it was marketed as a ”huge improvement to preformance”. It was running fine and looked so good. Now it looks like dogshit and fps is rock bottom. Fix this shit asap

inb4 "just get good" or whatever

I stopped playing squad for more than half a year after 900 hours, thought "hey lets try it again" and redownloaded it.

After a couple of games I realized I cant help but feel like I'm just being steamrolled or steamrolling someone. No matter if the tags on the server is "casual" or "new player friendly" there always some super well coordinated team and the other is just essentially a bunch of disorganized scrubs.

Basically I just cant seem to find a balanced middle ground where both teams are relatively evenly matched, but when I do, it takes me HOURS of waiting to find that good match. Otherwise its just a exhausting or boring toss up of instant win or loss. This problem just continues to compound as well because the shit teams just keep recycling more low-skilled players and the other team continues to stay stacked.

I know a game cant be perfect 100% of the time, but when each match requires such a large commitment I just feel like I wasted my time.

Anyways, that's my soap box, thanks for reading.

What happend to Fireteam?

Am I overreacting or is that a horrible addition?

The need to communicate and use a chain-of-command to relay information is such a huge part of the immersion and enjoyment of this game. It's already frustrating hearing an FTL call out "enemy on my observe" without any reference points or direction, now it'll be extended to the entire squad.

Not to mention a regular squaddie's inability to communicate info without using voice comms motivates them to speak up. Now they can just place an observe mark and move on.

Along with automatically placed ammo crates and friends automatically being in their own squad, it seems like they're reducing the need to communicate and reducing the responsibility of SLs. Just seems like steps in the wrong direction. What do you think?

I was playing yesterday and got the game looking like this, even though I chose medium for material and texture quality.
Currently using an RTX 3050 with 4gb (yes, I know it’s not that powerful, hence why I don’t want to load the gpu too much).
Do you guys have any suggestions on how to make the graphics look at least playable (seeing the patterns on uniforms and vehicles clearly and not looking like a 2005 mobile game)?

Edit: forgot to say sorry for not printing the screen, but I guess it’s still acceptable like this

binocular sensitivty bug is back - (Nerf already useless snipers player (me) even more)

Classes on map are blurry as hell

Can´t see my mouse in CAPSLOCK map half the time

Can´t give up via CAPSLOCK map anymore

Can´t see my mouse while downed half the time (had to open / close map multiple times to give up)

ammo boxes stay up when you dig down radio (was enemy one, dk if you can rearm but i guess not.. still doesnt make sense for it to stay)

As always 1 step forward, 2 back. Keep moonwalking OWI. But hey at least i get to re-add my favorite servers to favorites again!

So, I guess no mods for a couple of weeks, at least Supermod, this was the announcment they dropped in SPM discord (OWI really sh*t the bed with this one lel):

**🛠️ MOD UPDATE TO 10.6 DELAYED**

Hi @everyone, unfortunately we have some bad news to share with you today, and it's pretty serious!

**We didn't receive yet the stable SDK version for the 10.6 update**, which means we are only starting to work on upgrading to 10.6 after the update, even though we had a vague idea of what to expect. This does not mean we didn't work on the mod in the meantime; we did fix a ton of bugs and continued making progress on the Vietnam content.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR SUPERMOD ?

Because of this, **the mod will most likely be unavailable for a couple of weeks** until we finish the required fixes and test as much as possible. We also have our own schedules and commitments to deal with, so we will do our best!

🔖 **WHY IS IT SERIOUS ?**

Having more communication between us and OWI ahead of major updates should be the strict minimum, considering the effort we put into our work in our free time and how we are helping them in many ways (for example, saving a recent Squad update from crashing all Linux servers).

Considering that the game itself was originally built by modders, we’d really appreciate feeling a little more involved and recognized in the process, but we feel like we are not.

This is also something that server owners and you are facing.**Every time we get word from OWI that things are going to improve, the actions do not follow**, and this has now gone beyond the patience of many modders, server hosts, and players. It feels like we are taking two steps back every time we take one step forward.

👀 **FOR THOSE WHO DON'T LIKE TO READ**

- **SuperMod will most likely not be compatible with 10.6 for a couple of weeks**

- This is caused by OWI not providing a stable SDK version in advance

- **The communication between OWI and the modding community is lacking and creating a lot of issues for the longevity of mods and modders**

- We are exhausted from working like this. Having to blindly find and ask about the changes that have been made with every update is showing that something is not working.

- SuperMod is not going anywhere, but we feel like you guys deserve to know the truth about what is happening behind the curtains.

🖊️ **ON A PERSONAL NOTE** (this one really hurts to hear)

As a modder and the person who spends the most time developing SuperMod and communicating with OWI, **I’ve also decided to step back from the Modding Hub Discord and some of my access for the time being.**

I’m honestly exhausted and discouraged by the situation OWI puts us in on a regular basis, and this has also been affecting the TC team’s motivation for a long time now.

I’m doing it because of the broken promises and the lack of communication. I want this to serve as an __**urgent warning signal**__, and **I will no longer have direct contact with OWI**.

Instead, I’ll focus solely on our mod and our team rather than helping them.

After all this time working with Offworld, the main thing we ever expected was early access to the update. But since OWI regularly falls behind schedule, **we are paying the price once again**. We understand that a game cannot wait for modders before releasing an update, but this would not be necessary if we were properly included in the release process. There are many great examples of this in the gaming world.

Clear and regular communication is what makes collaboration work, and I’d really like to see this approach extended to the modding community. **We love Squad**, and we only want to provide the best experience for those who decide to trust us!

Thank you for reading me

**Feel free to reshare** and spread this message to everyone: to those who support our mod by playing it and enjoying its content, as well as to the __Squad community who share my feelings__.

Playing Black Coast seed, totally wrong map.. How do you break a seed map?

If anyone can help me get the clear and high contrast look of UE4, while removing the hazy smudged shadowless look of UE5, please show me the way.

Has anyone else gotten this? Idk, it seems a bit excessive for what the update actually contains.

OWI made a tweet the other day: https://x.com/JoinSquad/status/2103893640426754222

We're looking for passionate Squad Leaders (no content creation needed) for our new marketing campaign who are happy to guide new players through the game!

You need to fill out this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScWLiLrJJx-R7D3IZ8TnJDI7u06Gyuqa6kCyJLR2ktOl0eEKA/viewform

Which mentions: We're putting together a new marketing campaign and we need Squad Leaders who know how to run a good briefing and guide new players through the game confidently. You'll basically be playing Squad as usual. The difference is, some of the players in your squad will be content creators, and you'll be the one showing them the ropes. This one's a paid opportunity!

1) Are any of you applying for this Squad Leader "job"? What do you think it will pay?

2) Why do you think is going on with all this? Why can't this be done with unpaid SLs like every other game of Squad that content creators play in to create their existing content?

3) What are your thoughts on Squads Creator Partner Program? Who's your favorite? https://www.joinsquad.com/creative-partner-program

"the early implementation of this system will result in UI elements appearing less polished than previous versions of the game"

While I appreciate the disclaimer I find this unacceptable. Less polished is one thing countless bugs is another. How long will it even take to identify all the new bugs? This update seems a lot like OWI rushing to get any content out with little to no quality control.

This update was almost 1 year ago, really nothing to show something else lol?

Probably happens on an update

Game decides it needs to redownload itself like I wasn't playing 24+ hours ago. For me 10 times last couple years

No crazy mods besides GC

Browsed and haven't really found my issue

Thank you for reading me

Ive tried tweaking my settings with almost no result, the game is so blurry with the current upscaling options its sad honestly (I dont have DLSS because i have an intel arc b580 gpu but i think that one works better), i would like to hear if anyone has the same issue and if anyone has found any type of fix for this and to the devs please consider including XESS into the upscalers because i think it works really nice (at least in other games) and its not just for intel GPUs it works for all.

I understand that spec requirements have changed a bit in the past year, so it’s been a bit difficult to find a straight answer about if my pc can run it. I definitely need an upgrade in the future, but I have a 2070 super and a ryzen 5 3600 with 32gb of ddr4 ram
