- Fixed bunker collisions and material assignments

Troop transports are not that far away at all.
It's that time again!
These weeks are flying by way too quickly! The last Sunday night gang-bang before we go into Early Access. Lets make this a great one guys!
"All forum dwellers, mods, admins, devs, are encouraged to turn up."
Server: Paris, France #1. If any of you clan boys want to "donate" your server for the night let me know. Will make it easier for map restarts/changes.
If we can all start joining around 1945hrs GMT for a bit of a mess around followed by a map change/restart at 2000hrs GMT when we shall start the evenings shenanigans.
Hope to see you all there!

I'm sure we'll have a round of insurgency at some point during the evening. It's not that popular currently compared to AAS.
We put a new build up on Steam this morning and this will be the build we release on steam for Early Access.
Alpha 3.5
If nothing else changes before release then it's 3.4gb.
Alpha 3.5
- Updated Fools Road. Added a new flag and a new log trench
- Fixed an issue where View Distance set to Low would cause the ironsights on some weapons to not be displayed
- Updated the description on Radios to explain the ticket loss when they are destroyed
- Fixed a few cases where ammo crates would tell you the wrong key if you wanted to interact with them
- Updated Militia on Forest
- Renamed Chora to Chora AAS
- Added Fools Road Skirmish
- Fixed an issue where all markers on Chora would end up at 0,0,0.
- Added Sumari Insurgency
- Updated all Insurgency maps to give 30 tickets to the destroying team upon completion of their objective. Up from 10.
- Fixed an issues where Kohat AAS was not showing up correctly in the server browser
- Added Text Chat keybindings to the keybinding menu
- Removed Turn Left and Turn Right from the default arrow keys. This allows other keys to be bound to them
- Made a small optimization pass to the Animation System. You should see some FPS gains with multiple animating characters on the screen
- Updated the Militia textures
- Unified all fire-select weapons default to single-fire.
- Made a pass on the lattice for Logar PAAS and reduced the ticket count
- Fixed the russian backpack from being too shiney
- Removed the SL2 variant of the Russian SL model. He'll be back pending a material fix
- Fixed a number of animation distortions across multiple animations
- The full scoreboard will now be shown when in observer cam
- Updated the textures of the classic AKs
If nothing else changes before release then it's 3.4gb.
Oh...completely missed this thread
Anyone know where I can get a key or anyone who has a spare?
We're releasing Squad on Steam tomorrow mate
Yeah, a mate of mine mentioned it - is there anyway I can pre-load as my BB is crap and judging by the facts it's using UE4, it's going to be a considerable size and will take me the day to download
No pre-load unfortunately. The download will be (as long as there's no other changes) 3.4.gb.
You'll be fine. There's only really 2 major issues at the minute. The first is the animation system which needs an overhaul. All player animation info is sent to all other players regardless if they are being drawn on your screen or not which has some performance hit. I doubt your system will struggle with it though. In this mornings patch we made a small pass of the animation system so those that do struggle with this should hopefully get some frames back. Once we get emplacements and vehicles into the game, the plan is to rip out the anim system as do it all again.
The other issue is Unreal Engine 4 currently really does not like AMD cpus. The next engine update apparently is going to remedy *some* of this. Nothing much we can do our side, needs to be fixed by Epic. Luckily you're not running an AMD cpu so you'll be fine!
You can just jump in a server, join a squad and you'll find tremendous amounts of team play. You won't find all the milsim talk in game either. Just jump in and have fun. I recommend jumping in as the plain rifleman to begin with. Tell your squad leader you're new and the majority will help you. Stick on the SL's rear like glue and you'll soon learn what's going on. I'll be running some "new guy friendly" squads come tomorrow so feel free to join if you see me on in the evenings.
To get the most out of the game though you really, really need a mic!
No TrackIR support out of the box yet. It's on the wish list but there's too many more important things we need to spend time on first.
Once we get in free look in game then that will hopefully change.
The majority of maps are certainly big enough. Just name your custom squad when you create it and make sure any randoms that join are told what you wish to do. You can use the G key to VoIP to only all squad leaders and inform them of enemy activity. They can then inform the rest of their squad.
Hot off the press!
