There will be a playtest for the a9.1 hotfix which includes an attempted fix for the EAC disconnects on Wednesday 19:00 UTC. To test it, we need to play several rounds on a full server. In our internal testing there has been an occasional 'Corrupted packet' error message, but we have not yet found the cause of it. Anyone who gets this error or any other issue is kindly requested to contact QA staff on discord. Password and patchnotes will be released in advance.

I was getting this error! I seemed to fix it by deleting the old shortcut that i was using then going to the game directory and sending the squad launcher shortcut to the desktop and used that. Problem solved, well for me anyway

I've been looking at this for quite some time and think i might take the plunge and pick it up.

Is there a regular bunch who play this? Been looking to get some decent team action on the go for ages but i've only got 2 pc gaming mates who are casual players. I used to love clan gaming back in the day with desert combat mod for BF1942 and really keen on playing team based games again.

What's the state of vehicles regarding Heli's and planes? Also i see on the Squad website you can have 50v50 matches which sounds awesome, is this implemented yet?

Looking forward to jamming on this with some of you, i'm about all night tonight so would be cool to meet some of you and learn the ropes :)

yeah wouldn't mind playing with someone. Tried to play a few times and the learning curve is immense. Truthfully seems to be quite a few people just milling around. maybe have a couple "training" servers or at least a guide map to get people involved at a basic level?

I'd join you sports brah but i dont have a clue whats happening either. Just played an hour and the sound is incredible.

I died many MANY times yet never even saw anyone. I was hoping this was a bit more towards the old BF style of things but it appears more ARMA. Tried to speak to a few people but mostly got ignored when i said i was a newbie.

EDIT: Just got it refunded. I'll dip my toe back in when its fully released. I always want to like these games but jeez its hard. The sound though was brilliant, although often gunshots sound way closer than they actually are.

Tried squad on some truely prehistoric hardware and it works quite well, think they optimised it and stuff. I havent been playing much but nice APC rolling up and all sorts. Come a long way pretty fast.
I'd say it looks better then Arma 3 though I not played that recently either but lighting in the dawn hours of the map was nice to see progress

Any update on when we might get the new walking animations and free look ? I saw the video showcasing both but was wondering how far off it is ? weeks, months, year ?

No set date but probably another couple of months as v10 is going to be a massive game change with lots of changes coming in.

Any modders here? SDK A-9 is uploading as we speak. Usually takes overnight to update and then the rest of day for epic to push it. Possibly released in approx 24 hours! Get ready! It's all happening!
