Keys won't work until the 15th
Boooo
Day of work monday would have been sweet..I can wait extra day..
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

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
Hey all i had never even noticed this until right now !
It sounds brilliant , i better confess i bought Arma 3 ( played the previous Armas a good bit ) on release and never made it online with it ever as i just didn't find the time.
Is this as Hardcore as Arma would you say ? I loved the Arma style of playing but i just couldn't commit to a big game like that due to family.
This year coming things should be easier.
I don't have loads of cash to spend on games i don't play but i loved that video and as i say i usually love a good tactical shooter - sim style , much more so than BF or COD etc
Those who have had their hand on this what do you think ?
Cheers all

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!
Thanks a lot for the reply , im excited by this and i will buy it i think!
I have a TrackIR from my Arma days, i assume i can use it for this as well ?
Mic is no problem i have that also. I'm liking the sound of this and i've promised myself more game time than i have had this year so i think this will be my purchase !
From what i have played on the steam alpha up till now i have not found separate head movement/tracking sadly, nothing like holding alt in Arma.
Hopefully it gets put in as i keep finding myself looking around and forgetting its not tracking me.
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.
