Mines there too.

Preloaded on Origin, not seen much about this so unsure if I will play much but "free" on Play Pro so will give it a try.

Is this limited to 5v5, I can image 32 or 64+ pvp being fun, massive battles, 5v5 seems meh

Really hyped for this.

Just a shame it's come out in the same year as Flight Sim. Not a HOTAS to be found at a reasonable price anywhere.

Came here to say that, but I see everyone already on it. I can't wait to play this now.

I believe in fleet battles there are AI ship on both sides also. Think of the 5 on each side as the Aces and the rest as fodder pilots.

Scored a cheap flight stick for a tenner (inc postage) from that big second-hand junk shop.
Nothing fancy; a MadCatz V.1 B-Grade. But it'll do. Can't wait for my VR headset to arrive now. Hearing really good things about this game in VR.

From my reading you get 10hrs with play, however with play pro it's unlimited.

That's what I thought about Jedi Fallen Order last year but it turned out it wasn't part of the 10 hour trial.

I was so close to buying this until I watched the actual gameplay footage

... Put this back to back with Star Wars Battlefront 2 and it looks dated, dare I say dull!

I'll wait until we get some fair reviews of it's multiplayer gameplay.

Psssst...I can play the game, VPN into time zone after midnight.

I have to wait until tomorrow anyway. Saw a youtube vid of the campaign, and it looks great.

It's just gone live. Of course it crashes immediately:

Windows Version: 10.0 (Build 19041)
Error Code: 10011

Just remember the base Fortnite got poor reviews when it first released but the multiplayer turned out to be a hit.
I'm downloading Squadrons now. Just hope it works with my trusty Microsoft Sidewinder FF2 flight stick.

Latest drivers?

baldmonk · 1 Oct 2020 at 23:43

no crashes here in 45 mins I've played absolutely love it cant wait to sink some time into it tomorrow

Jim Jervis · 1 Oct 2020 at 23:59

Dusted off the hotas, rift s standing by.

Played the first couple of missions and really like it!

The mouse sensitivity was way off for me so had to reduce it down to 15 - no chance in a dogfight on the standard settings. I guess an XBOX controller would be better for a game like this, rather than M/KB?

Running 160+ FPS for me on a 2070S on Acer X34P UW 1440p

It must be awesome in VR!
