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

What OS do you use Melbo? Don't think SweetFx works on Windows 10 unless someone has it working :)

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!

I'm new to the game as well, started a round yesterday, saw a guy with no tag above his head and boom. First kill was a TK :(
Check the map as well to make sure there's no team mates in the direction of fire first was my first lesson.

I'm finding the iron sights really tricky to use as an insurgent. they seem to completely cover the area you're trying to fire at. Apparently I need to learn to use the zoom properly.

I used to be the same, if they didn't have a nice green or blue tag above their head then they would get shot. But that didn't work as sometimes it wouldn't appear for example if you looked through a hole in the wall or a door. Not I check uniform and map.

If I was a Squad developer I would completely remove the tag and introduce a spy role which wore the same uniform as the team but looked different on the face model.

In real war you don't get a green/blue tag above friendly soldiers! (if there was there would be a lot less deaths!)

In real war you don't get to respawn...

Nah, the whole ADS is crap. They use a **** poor excuse as to why they wont change it.

ADS should default to a FOV of 70'. Gameplay should always trump reality.
 
Picked this game up recently and am totally addicted. Started to get the hang of things after about (i thought i had played about 50, but turns out I'm at 83). Finding a good squad lead is key but you can also have fun with guys who a bit more causal.

I've been following reddit and the squad forums a lot and it appears that vehicles are coming soon. I hope they do it right as I'm really enjoying the game right now. Another thing I read is that UT 4 will be patching DX12 in April. Apparently the Squad team will need time to test and custimize the game but hopefully we should be seeing DX support in the next 3-4 months.

Some good info here. Devs sound like cool cats.

I was all set for a night of Squad yesterday but came home from work to find out the niece and nephew were staying over.

Same tonight.

FML!
 
Is it pretty easy to join another squad? Or do most people tend to play in the same groups all the time?

Still pondering over this.

Thanks to those that answered my previous questions by the way.

It's very easy. I tend to play with the same SL's who I enjoy playing with.
 
Out of curiosity, what sli compatibility bits are people using for 980ti sli. Currently using batman:arkham origins/heaven benchmark as per some googling. But they've updated a lot of things recently so not sure if this is still the best.

Some maps get 120+ fps..... Then one or two maps only around the 50-80 mark.

This is at 1440p with most things set rather high.

Also any settings which just cripple performance with little to no visual effect? As there are loads of options now. Summer of they fixed the aa too


Been having some good rounds on there though. Find a decent server that doesn't lag and semi decent teams and is a hell of a laugh :D

Being a squad leader is annoying as hell though... Or was last night. The other squad leaders and my squad chat just wouldn't shut up so I couldn't hear anything that was being said by anybody xD
