***Official Squad Thread***

V8 is awesome! Got some serious FPS gains so I'm now getting above 60 most of the time. Got back on TS last night with the FFO boys and had a good laugh :) Think I'm hooked again.

Only thing that I can't work out is how to get reshade working. Game crashes everytime. Was working fine in V7.

Known issue. It's working for some but not for others. We've asked EAC to look into it.
 
Just bear in mind that the free weekend will be full of people not really understanding or wanting to do what will help the team in the long run. It will be a totally different experience to how things normally play out!
 
3.9GB update. Must be some new maps or or super high res textures or something going in. Not complaining as im on a 1Gbps connection but its still pretty meaty for an update
 
We are now pushing the a-8.1 hotfix.

  • Attempted fix for a rare memory related server side crash.
  • Fix for players being able to see through walls when prone.
  • Fix an issue where players would be given very large or very small scores.
  • Fix for reserve slots not functioning properly.
  • Fix for the EAC shield not showing up properly.
  • Fix for Ambient Occlusion not being able to be turned off.
  • Fix for the Backblast effect not shooting backwards.
  • Fix for healing sounds incorrectly overlapping each other until the sound fully completes.
  • Fix for empty servers incorrectly showing up as having poor health.
  • Fix for smoke trail effects not cleaning up properly in certain cases.
  • Fix for suppression effects being disabled on low quality settings.
  • Clean Razorwire has been reduced from 100 to 25 construction points.
  • Militia and Insurgent Heavy Machine Gun deployables are now limited to 2 unshielded and 2 shielded DShKs instead of unlimited shielded DShKs.
  • Reduced linear recoil pattern on HMMWV .50 and all emplaced weapons. They should be slightly more effective at long range engagements.
  • Fix for interior engine sounds not beeing affected by effects slider.
  • Fix for issue with KPVT 3p fire sounds dropping out.
  • Adjustment of sound muffling when incapacited.
  • Removed a UB32 technical from Chora INS.
  • Added ambient sounds to Yehorivka.
  • Updated Yehorivka AASv2 with the correct Militia Urals and removed guardrails from main roads.
  • Fix for Yehorivka AASv2 Logi Supply Point uncappable state once capped.
  • Fix for fences on Gorodok.
  • Extended the draw distance of trees on Fool's Road.
  • Fix for red and blue colored GP25s at various LODs.

Xcept1 any chance you could fix SweetFX? I've tried installing the latest version with OPENGL as a setting and can join a server but then get kicked out - Server closed connection. Apparently Roy is looking into this? I can't live without SweetFX!
 

I figured out a workaround. Remove the files from D:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Squad\Squad\Binaries\Win64 except Squad.exe

If you have reshade already installed, open mediator and remove the Squad profile. Re add it and select Open GL, press update and then permanent push to application. Check D:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Squad\Squad\Binaries\Win64 and your folder should have opengl32.dll and OPENGL32.log
 
Xcept1 - now that we're GPU limited, what's the likelihood of crossfire/sli support any time soon?

I'm not sure if this makes any sense to you SLI guys:

Ok, it seems I found a solution for my problem. I used the SLI bits 0x088000F5 (Unigine: Heaven 4.0 demo, Shogun2.....) and selected Borderless (on Fullscreen I was having terrible bad performance, with and without SLI activated).

Now I'm getting 70+ to 110 fps on full 72 players Servers.

Anyone else get a fatal error after the new patch?

edit - It appeared it was Reshade as above too. Fixed after downloading the 8.1 fix - https://www.reddit.com/r/joinsquad/comments/5b6tkf/sweetfx_squad_v81_fix/

How do you enable it / disable it now in game? Pressing Scroll lock used to turn it on/off but no longer works and does not enable it by default

edit2 - gotit working by copying my old reshade folder over the new one.

The problem now is there are no servers in custom servers or server browser. I find that pretty hard to believe
Restarted and servers are now appearing

Make sure you're not running Steam/Squad as admin.
 
Have you tried clicking Clear Cached User Data in the Game Settings Window? This will clear some files and reset them to default then restart your game.



I still use it for the sharpening it has. It's pretty strange how it's working now. My old preset was working fine. I heard other people using it saying that after a complete reinstall it no longer worked so after I reinstalled I was getting a fatal error.

I'm now using the latest ReShade 3.0.4 using OpenGL mode which works fine for me but for not for the majority of others!

Thanks for your reply. i had already done this after fresh install of windows and re downloading game. res would be good in the menu and all settings correct. everything looks good in loading screen and then when i get into server the menu resoloution looks off and the mouse doesnt react orthe pointer is off.

i cant click to the left or right of my screen or select spawn.

ill try and record what is going on.
