There’s definitely room for improvement on the communities side, aka learning all the controls, specifically the communication controls.

But I thought it was realllly good, didn’t notice any memorable bugs (I’m sure others have), the only real problem I noticed was the lack of communication, and I HEAVILY believe it’s because of the clunky system of changing chat channels, you don’t really want “was it down down and left for command chat, or down down and right…” moments in the middle of a armor gunfight trying to call for help.

I’ll probably get rekt for this but I’m thoroughly enjoying it, and the communication issue is something that’ll be flushed out as people learn the game.

The pilot crash landed and killed everybody, 10/10 game

How is it for everybody so far

I’ve seen many people saying that the PC community is angry because the game is coming to consoles. But our dissatisfaction isn't about the game moving to consoles; it’s about OWI neglecting the current state of the game. We, the PC players, were hoping that the next big announcement would be a massive update—new game modes, new factions, new maps, major fixes for long-standing bugs, and a complete overhaul and improvement of the UI. Instead, they’ve poured resources into prioritizing a console launch rather than fixing the PC version, which has been going from bad to worse—plagued by known bugs and issues, a lack of tutorials (such as for the Squad Leader role), poor optimization, and a shortage of content.

We are justified in complaining about this. It’s not just "whining"—it’s genuine indignation.

If they want to bring the game to consoles, fine—but they need to ensure their core player base remains well-supported and stable. It was the PC community that helped this game grow, creating mods that added features and fixed issues that OWI itself never addressed.

Anybody know how to fix this?

Hello everybody, as the title says I am a beginner to Squad. Being a PS5 user i decided to try out the console beta or whatever it is. I really like the game so far and I only have a couple questions. 1. How do you figure the range when using a marksman kit? 2. Does the game keep track of the kills you get or no? And 3. Does anyone wanna play the console version with me and sorta show me the ropes?

Overall the game seems to be running pretty smooth and feels great.

The Good:
- Same great sound design
- Love that they didn’t botch the aiming like Hell Let Loose did. It feels like you can tune it for console and not feel floaty like PC
- Didn’t experience too much rubber banding

Needs Work:
- Obviously porting a game like SQUAD to a controller even with paddles is going to be a cluster so they need to polish it some especially in the area of vehicle seat switching.

- I would actually see them bury the text chat option for a smoother voice comms switching system on console, but i understand with PC cross play things can get jank.

- Tutorial needs some better handholding as most people aren’t even remotely tuned in to how to make HABs or FOBs.

Overall, I know there is a lot of negativity around PC, and I get it because it’s valid. But I am hoping their one SQUAD vision helps smooth it out.

Considering the dumpster fire that Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is and the jank that comes with ARMA, I think SQUAD has a real window here to build a player base before Wardogs drops.

A trocação na favela é complicado.

It's just how it's setup. We have hundreds of games now that make it work, and still OWI looks at it and thinks. How can i make a version that's mine but worse.

Why thought.

Brain did a kickflip when I saw this shit. 😆

Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky are great examples of a rebirth.

Everon from Arma reforger? Or Yehorivka from Squad?

Both vehicles are now super annoying to drive.

Hello all,

I played Squad on PC a few years ago, but my computer has never been good. I’ve never been a PC player, so I had many issues with the game and that’s why I uninstalled it long ago.

None of that really matters, what matters is that when going onto the website to enlist, I keep getting an error that reads “Something went wrong. Try again later.” What specifically could it be? And how can I fix it? Is anyone else having trouble? I am in the US, so it can’t be a regional issue. Any help would be appreciated.

As per title, anyone know how to invert the look view on the new Ps5 version of squad?

I had to check it out.

Menus are buggy; and navigating the tac map is also buggy or just lacking the feature to fully navigate it. Coming from PC, the controls also feel foreign and will take getting used to.

However, my first impressions are that it runs surprisingly well, especially in comparison to HLL: Vietnam. The movement feels good and while the gunplay will take getting used to with a controller, it generally seems consistent with PC.

My Squad had no clue what was going on. There were no HABs, no logi, etc. I managed to corral the squad as SL and get us to a decent spot for a Rally. Players seemed to be using both Squad and proximity chat and having fun.

While I will certainly still prefer this type of experience on PC, I’m genuinely surprised at how good it felt my first time interacting with it. Chilling on the couch with this type of game felt nice. There is a fun experience here for people on console, I think.

Cue the Doomer responses here, but I’m optimistic.

EDIT: playing on PS5.

EDIT2: I’ll also add that I too have been frustrated with the odd development choices on PC lately. I do hope they can clean that up.

FINAL EDIT: I also think this experience feels MUCH better than Arma Reforger on console (and HLL: Vietnam, as I mentioned).

Wrong flags, some factions are shown twice and there is also a wierd ZDY faction with no flag

After reading the console announcement and FAQ, some players have mixed feelings about where Squad is heading.

A lot of PC players already suspect that OWI has been diverting resources toward the console port while PC development has been neglected. Considering the disastrous initial launch of 10.6 and the community backlash, I can understand why people are frustrated. We don’t know how much console development actually affected the PC team, but OWI’s track record with updates and roadmaps certainly doesn’t inspire confidence.

That said, bringing Squad to consoles makes perfect business sense. It’s a new market with potentially significant revenue, and if successful, it could mean more resources for Squad’s development.

However, a few things in the FAQ concern:

Crossplay and aim assist: Console players will have aim assist, while PC players can join console-ruleset community servers. What’s stopping people from using XIM-style mouse-and-keyboard adapters to exploit aim assist? I hope OWI has considered this.

Limited content: The console version launches with only 6 maps and 8 factions. Since crossplay servers have to use the console ruleset, PC veterans would effectively be giving up a significant amount of content just to play with console players. That’s a pretty big downside.

Official servers: Consoles are getting official servers while PC remains entirely community-hosted. Given the long-standing problems with community server management, that’s an interesting decision.

I’m not against Squad coming to consoles. I just hope OWI can actually deliver on its One Squad promises without further slowing down PC development.

And one last thing: Why do the British soldiers in the announcement trailer keep teamkilling their own teammates lmao?

It generally makes sense now. All those bugs and mew bad patches were because they weren't focused on us for the last month !

Do you agree and disagree and why I would love to hear your opinions and personal experience?

My lovely wife found a solution. Have the PS App on your phone and logged in. Go to the alpha website. Click download on the website. It will now bring you to the app instead of the PS Website. You can download it from the PS App.

I don't know why it isn't showing up anywhere else on the store, but this roundabout method worked for me

I'm starting to get sick of the neglect for this game. The bugs just keep piling up with no fixes insight. Some bugs have been around for years and just ignored. Now they want to release it on console while the game still feels like its in alpha. Yikes.

If you have any bugs thats not in this video, please list them below, just make a full list of all the shit that needs to be fixed.
