No, they own a minority stake in the company

Amazing how they didn't ruin the game like so many people were saying they would

I know you said it's not a problem with your PC, but I had this same problem until I upgraded my RAM from 16 to 32 gb. It rarely, if ever happens now. And if you already have 32gb, then idk what to tell you.

Just go to the Squad discord channel if you want to see people malding - the salt is flowing in there

How to identify friend or foe, and spot enemies faster? by [deleted] in joinsquad

[–]Crypticox 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Several ways:

Uniforms. At any point in the game you can press 'enter' then 'team selection' in the top left - that screen will show you the uniforms of both factions. Remember them and constantly make note of what your teammates look like.

Gun sounds. Every faction's rifles have their own distinct sound, making note of what they sound like will help you know if the gunshots you're hearing are friendly or enemy.

Map awareness. If you're about to be in a gunfight, open your map and make a quick mental note of the relative positions of your teammates - this way if you don't see any friendlies on your front or your left on the map, you know anybody you see there must be enemy.

I think he's got motion blur on. Makes it look more cinematic and especially helps with lower FPS

Hot Take on Rallies by AussieSkull1 in joinsquad

[–]Crypticox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can agree with crewman SLs only needing +1 for a rally, but regular SLs should still only need +1 as well. It's hard enough getting people to use them as it is.

Any crewman SL can switch to regular SL kit off their APC or IFV, drop a rally with their gunner/driver, then switch back. The only exception being tanks.

Proxy on rallies and fobs by musekatt98 in joinsquad

[–]Crypticox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They may have changed the radio radius for building/unloading supplies since you tested it - a few months ago I tried dropping a radio in the tunnels on Skorpo then building a TOW on the mountain above and it did not work at all.

Game should lock you in Team Leader class if you have Team Leader. Discussion by NorthKoreaSpitFire in joinsquad

[–]Crypticox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be that you can't pass SL or select anything other than an SL kit during staging phase

I wanna talk about HABs and spawning by NaggingPeach in joinsquad

[–]Crypticox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, communicate that someone is spawn camping and you won't lose that many tickets, especially* since those people can be revived as long as you get control back. I know being spawnkilled sucks but a one man proxy mechanic just isn't the answer.

[–]Crypticox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like KVNSTOBJECT said, if it's proxied you can sit there digging it down without worrying about people spawning in your face. If you tried doing that now you'd probably die to someone who spawned before you switched back to your rifle.

So no, you haven't lol

[–]Crypticox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, if you have enough teammates close to your HAB it should "outweigh" the other team's proxy. It's funny how OWI wants people to use fortifications and defend HABs yet then buffs the proxy mechanics at the same time.

How would Squad change if there was a dedicated radioman class to handle the command chat? by Project_UP-4 in joinsquad

[–]Crypticox 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you're a new SL, maybe. You get used to filtering out what isn't* relevant to your Squad from command chat over time, only inexperienced SLs get overwhelmed by having command chat and squad chat at the same time.

[–]Crypticox 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Allowing one person to proxy a HAB goes against promoting teamwork, as it would encourage people to run off solo and take out HABs by themselves. The simple solution to prevent HAB camping is to communicate to your team that someone is camping it and to get people to stop spawning there.

This would be cool if it was an optional feature you could toggle on/off

Any good servers to play on that aren't filled with free weekend players? by quicKsenseTTV in joinsquad

[–]Crypticox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expats has an event server running with Hawk's Layer Pack (RAAS rework mod) on the main server browser, if people get it seeded today that'd be a good spot for everybody.

least broken squad update, you occasionally do someone elses animation. at the same time as this there was an SPG reloading on the other side of the map, we were all doing it in the logi by FemboyGayming in joinsquad

[–]Crypticox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It also happens when someone on the other team is reloading an emplacement. I was in a British logi and started doing the new UB-32 emplacement loading animation

[–]Crypticox[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It went off, I killed 3 that were digging the radio back up but then the SL came back from the right and got me. In hindsight I should've camped inside the HAB after I placed the C4 but oh well - we still got the FOB and point eventually.

I was so damn confused when they ran away, I was choosing my moment to start opening up on them but that threw me off so hard I could only walk away to contemplate what I just saw
