***Official Squad Thread***

Yup, we're over the amount what we predicted we would need to get all the features into the game that we wanted. Future is looking good, gents!
 
I have put in 39 hours into Squad now, more than every other game in my Steam collection and possibly more than BF2! Quite a lot to say I have only had it a month or so.

Here's what I would like so see fixed with the game.

Anti aliasing - It doesnt work after the patch, menu or forced in Nvidia console
In game server browser - It has hardly any functionality, unable to even favourite a server. I tried the Steam broswer and it is not accurate (number of players)

Map - Since the patch there is a glitch where if you press Enter or M it opens then closes straight away. You have to wait for a few seconds then press enter or m again.

Some more control info / general info in controls for things like building and commanders. I never select commander because I have no idea what the controls even are!

Keep up the good work. I can't wait for vehicles :)
 
AA has been broken for ages in some shape I form. I just use SweetFX for AA now.

Server browser will get more work but there's so many other higher priority things that need doing before that gets more work.

I believe the map bug is fixed for next patch.

Commander? You mean Squad Leader? Hold T, says in the map loading screen :P
 
Thanks
SweetFX? Sorry, I havent really played games in years except this and GTA V.
Good stuff re the map bug.
The server browser I can live with - I only really go on Redcoats, Rusty in places or Skunkdogz. If I can't get on I normally just don't play
Sorry, too used to commander in bf2. Are, didnt notice that will give it a try on a map or just watch some youtube videos on Squad leader tactics
 
Quote from the SweetFX page:

SweetFX Shader Suite (or just SweetFX) is a collection of post-processing shader effects for your games. You may have tried another shader injection mod before (InjectFXAA, InjectSMAA, FXAATool ...). SweetFX improves upon all of these.

Add SMAA anti-aliasing, sharpening, tweak the color, gamma, exposure and more. The purpose of this shader collection is for you to adjust the appearance, look and mood of your favorite games to your own liking. Using SMAA antialiasing over MSAA or similar techniques may even make the game run faster.

I use it pretty much for the SMAA and a bit of colour tweaking for Squad. If you're interested let me know and I'll send you over my config for it. Only issue is you have to run the game in borderless mode. I get the same performance in borderless as I do in fullscreen but results may vary.

Please, that would be great. email in trust

If it dips fps too low I can always just run without / re-download the game. (I have a GTX 780 Ti)
 
OK. 4 hours playtime....and I like it.

Biggest worry was the online comms side of things and offensive players that I've read about...didn't have any. Everyone was funny/nice/helpful/patient.

Keep it up devs...great game.
 
Thansk Xcept1. Now using SweetFx and it looks a lot nicer. Performance hit it only a few fps.

Here's pictures showing FPS with and without SweetFx for anyone anyone wondering

First load up Squad and set it to borderless mode then save and exit the game.

Extract all the files into \Steam\SteamApps\common\Squad\Squad\Binaries\Win64\

then run the game. That's it! Scroll lock turns the effect on and off.
 
Is there anything i can use to just have some form of Anti Aliasing ? Chora looks a bit hideous at the mo. Im happy with everything else, just anti aliasing to remove the jaggies.
 
Everything on epic apart from AA/MSAA set to off and shadows which are on high/meduim 2048. Running SweetFX for SMAA AA.

Do the settings now have an effect on fps? In the version before the patch I would change things like shadows and the fps would stay exactly the same :confused:

Im sure in the new patch the view distance has been reduced by quite a lot. I used to get 45fps on the training map on the roof looking down the range but now I get 90fps+ (85 with SweetFX) I also notice pop in on things such as rocks

edit - Settings do change fps now, high > epic shadows drops about 5fps

Shadows are a big killer in the game at the minute and there's not a massive difference in-between the settings if you knock it down one or two.

Looking forward to having a session tonight after work if anyone is about?
 
I loaded this up for the first time since a lot of the updates last night and I was absolutely hopeless :D
I can not make out if players are friendly or not with the new uniforms, I was calling to team mates if I should be able to see tags if they are friendly and the answer was yes, if you don't see a tag shoot them.....bang....team kill :(

I was an absolute liability..... it took me so long to id enemies that I just got shot even if I got the jump on them

I'm pretty sure we were getting shot at by other friendlies as well but you cant tell if some TK's you only if you TK them is that right?

Its going to take a while to get used to this, damn sneaky enemies wearing similar uniforms to us!
