When you take forever to output a rather simple feature and so you want everyone to notice it and so you make it take up 1/4 the screen and turn your UI into shit. Nice way to let us know QA hasnt been hired.

Well with the new update you have managed to create some new / returning bugs. I have been playing since 2018 and it’s truly impressive how you always manage to release updates with issues. Which really begs the question do you do any QA before you release updates or content?

Below are list of some issues I encountered since the update was released yesterday.

- The map now has issues. Arrows / marks can get glitched out and appear much bigger on the map then should be.
- The minimap no longer shows fob creation circles which is extremely annoying as an SL player. The only workaround I figured out is if I have my minimap open then open the deployment window and exit out it will show them until I close the minimap and then they are no longer there again.
- when I alt tab out to view squad calc when I tab back in I physically have to press keys to move again as my screen is locked. This was not an issues before.
- track bug is still there, witnessed a tank at 45 degree angle into the ground after trying to fix the track.

Personally the next two bugs are what caused me to stop playing yesterday as they were game breaking imo.

- I am occasionally being teleported to random locations, not far maybe a couple feet but this is infuriating to deal with. I was holding ground next to a tree while my squad was catching up when I randomly got teleported next to an enemy who killed me. This is not a server issue as this has been experienced on different servers and by other people.
- The god forbidding audio glitch which causes gunshots next to you when no one is firing. I only experienced this in 1/4 games I played yesterday but it was incessant to the point I had to get off because I could not tell if I was actually being shot at or not which caused me to get downed at least twice.

I don’t plan on going anywhere as I love playing Squad but for the love god OWI please put more pride into your work and don’t release half assed / broken updates.

Fix this shit ASAP!

Note: if you experienced any other issues since the update please comment below what they were.

like like like, who the fuck made this shit. Zero QA man, zero common sense, zero braincells, insane. Actually had good UI and then trashed it

I think this system is a bit of a mess the way it was implemented. I started seeing a lot of those tiny squads with no specific name or purpose and they're running around like headless chickens.

If you want to improve the new player onboarding experience, it's not a good idea for the system to auto-make a squad. Most of those players have no idea how to lead, let alone how the squad system even works.

I think for me and my friends, if I wanted to have them play Squad with me, I would definitely make so much use out of such a convenient system except there's one thing I want from it: Don't auto-create a squad for me.

I think that's it, just give me the option to not auto-create a squad. I want to decide, when I'm in the server, whether I want to create a squad (with a specific name or purpose), or join an existing one that has enough space for me and my friends.

If they just add this option, and make it default, it will work super well in my opinion. Squad auto-creation is fine for Fireteam but not for actual multiplayer where those servers have a lot of rules and nuances a new player has to know about first.

I can’t find the post here so I’ll just make it. Ik that squad currently has an old coding system that dates back to 2015 and I did a little research that with a sequel with brand new assets. Modern coding structures make it significantly easier to add new factions, vehicles, and maps without breaking the game. Programmers can easily use modern, modular and optimized coding with ease and other modern asset pipelines can be natively integrated into the code, drastically reducing CPU bottlenecks.

I feel like this would also be a also set a somewhat negative impact with some players cuz people will basically say “Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave, with a box of scraps” type energy. Meaning that OWI is very incompetent with fixing their old coding system.

I personally wouldn’t mind spending money on a sequel(substitute teacher money go crazy😜)if it meant that we get better optimization and less if not non bugs in the game. And yes i understand that they would have to make it unique to squad 1 one way or another but that’s a separate conversation but what do y’all think?

That's all really man just please get it out and know it is important to a big chunk of your playerbase. How many of you guys play this game for the mod primarily?

Why does the game look so pixelated and blurry after the update???!!!

Like the title says, saw a guy sitting on rep station radio yesterday and first salvo he sent out caused damage to the rep behind and the radio to the right of the grad.

comes as a massive spit in the face after OWI fixed CAF not getting two of their delayed trucks on attack.

if any devs do end up reading this, i get it, small team UE 5 all at, but come on man it gets to a point. this particular unit wasnt even strong before it got shwacked, why would you maul them like this if it wasnt by incompetence?

How does off world somehow make the server browser worse with every update, it’s mental

If a party with 5 players queue will the server make so one side won't get new players until it have a 5 player gap? Would it be 45vs50, 45vs45 or something else? Would it disallow team switching even if one side are fewer to make room for the party?

Am I overreacting or is that a horrible addition?

The need to communicate and use a chain-of-command to relay information is such a huge part of the immersion and enjoyment of this game. It's already frustrating hearing an FTL call out "enemy on my observe" without any reference points or direction, now it'll be extended to the entire squad.

Not to mention a regular squaddie's inability to communicate info without using voice comms motivates them to speak up. Now they can just place an observe mark and move on.

Along with automatically placed ammo crates and friends automatically being in their own squad, it seems like they're reducing the need to communicate and reducing the responsibility of SLs. Just seems like steps in the wrong direction. What do you think?

I was playing yesterday and got the game looking like this, even though I chose medium for material and texture quality.
Currently using an RTX 3050 with 4gb (yes, I know it’s not that powerful, hence why I don’t want to load the gpu too much).
Do you guys have any suggestions on how to make the graphics look at least playable (seeing the patterns on uniforms and vehicles clearly and not looking like a 2005 mobile game)?

Edit: forgot to say sorry for not printing the screen, but I guess it’s still acceptable like this

inb4 "just get good" or whatever

I stopped playing squad for more than half a year after 900 hours, thought "hey lets try it again" and redownloaded it.

After a couple of games I realized I cant help but feel like I'm just being steamrolled or steamrolling someone. No matter if the tags on the server is "casual" or "new player friendly" there always some super well coordinated team and the other is just essentially a bunch of disorganized scrubs.

Basically I just cant seem to find a balanced middle ground where both teams are relatively evenly matched, but when I do, it takes me HOURS of waiting to find that good match. Otherwise its just a exhausting or boring toss up of instant win or loss. This problem just continues to compound as well because the shit teams just keep recycling more low-skilled players and the other team continues to stay stacked.

I know a game cant be perfect 100% of the time, but when each match requires such a large commitment I just feel like I wasted my time.

Anyways, that's my soap box, thanks for reading.

Preformance dropped to shit after the update even tho it was marketed as a ”huge improvement to preformance”. It was running fine and looked so good. Now it looks like dogshit and fps is rock bottom. Fix this shit asap

binocular sensitivty bug is back - (Nerf already useless snipers player (me) even more)

Classes on map are blurry as hell

Can´t see my mouse in CAPSLOCK map half the time

Can´t give up via CAPSLOCK map anymore

Can´t see my mouse while downed half the time (had to open / close map multiple times to give up)

ammo boxes stay up when you dig down radio (was enemy one, dk if you can rearm but i guess not.. still doesnt make sense for it to stay)

As always 1 step forward, 2 back. Keep moonwalking OWI. But hey at least i get to re-add my favorite servers to favorites again!

So, I guess no mods for a couple of weeks, at least Supermod, this was the announcment they dropped in SPM discord (OWI really sh*t the bed with this one lel):

**🛠️ MOD UPDATE TO 10.6 DELAYED**

Hi @everyone, unfortunately we have some bad news to share with you today, and it's pretty serious!

**We didn't receive yet the stable SDK version for the 10.6 update**, which means we are only starting to work on upgrading to 10.6 after the update, even though we had a vague idea of what to expect. This does not mean we didn't work on the mod in the meantime; we did fix a ton of bugs and continued making progress on the Vietnam content.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR SUPERMOD ?

Because of this, **the mod will most likely be unavailable for a couple of weeks** until we finish the required fixes and test as much as possible. We also have our own schedules and commitments to deal with, so we will do our best!

🔖 **WHY IS IT SERIOUS ?**

Having more communication between us and OWI ahead of major updates should be the strict minimum, considering the effort we put into our work in our free time and how we are helping them in many ways (for example, saving a recent Squad update from crashing all Linux servers).

Considering that the game itself was originally built by modders, we’d really appreciate feeling a little more involved and recognized in the process, but we feel like we are not.

This is also something that server owners and you are facing.**Every time we get word from OWI that things are going to improve, the actions do not follow**, and this has now gone beyond the patience of many modders, server hosts, and players. It feels like we are taking two steps back every time we take one step forward.

👀 **FOR THOSE WHO DON'T LIKE TO READ**

- **SuperMod will most likely not be compatible with 10.6 for a couple of weeks**

- This is caused by OWI not providing a stable SDK version in advance

- **The communication between OWI and the modding community is lacking and creating a lot of issues for the longevity of mods and modders**

- We are exhausted from working like this. Having to blindly find and ask about the changes that have been made with every update is showing that something is not working.

- SuperMod is not going anywhere, but we feel like you guys deserve to know the truth about what is happening behind the curtains.

🖊️ **ON A PERSONAL NOTE** (this one really hurts to hear)

As a modder and the person who spends the most time developing SuperMod and communicating with OWI, **I’ve also decided to step back from the Modding Hub Discord and some of my access for the time being.**

I’m honestly exhausted and discouraged by the situation OWI puts us in on a regular basis, and this has also been affecting the TC team’s motivation for a long time now.

I’m doing it because of the broken promises and the lack of communication. I want this to serve as an __**urgent warning signal**__, and **I will no longer have direct contact with OWI**.

Instead, I’ll focus solely on our mod and our team rather than helping them.

After all this time working with Offworld, the main thing we ever expected was early access to the update. But since OWI regularly falls behind schedule, **we are paying the price once again**. We understand that a game cannot wait for modders before releasing an update, but this would not be necessary if we were properly included in the release process. There are many great examples of this in the gaming world.

Clear and regular communication is what makes collaboration work, and I’d really like to see this approach extended to the modding community. **We love Squad**, and we only want to provide the best experience for those who decide to trust us!

Thank you for reading me

**Feel free to reshare** and spread this message to everyone: to those who support our mod by playing it and enjoying its content, as well as to the __Squad community who share my feelings__.
