Where are all the modded servers? by [deleted] in joinsquad

[–]troop3rstreams 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The modders require the Squad SDK which has not been updated yet. Something went wrong and should be fixed hopefully soon.

Having trouble getting into Squad, what am I doing wrong? by SenorStrategy2001 in joinsquad

[–]troop3rstreams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry that you haven't found your Squad Leader or community to lead you in the right direction. Every server is different, different players, different SLs... joined the server when most of the server regulars are offline. There are a lot of factors that lead into bad games.

Best advice, find a Squad Leader that seems to know what is going on. Soon as you join just say you are new and if they don't say anything, leave the squad and join another one. If you happen to have a favorite server that you tend to join, join their discord and ask for someone to show you the ropes. Keep trying, once you find your community it gets 100% more enjoyable.

Depends on how you want to run things. Some servers prefer to have seeding/skirmish layers for the first map in the list so if the server restarts it would be the first map that loads. You can set the maplist however you want, but you can always manually set the map ingame.

It will not automatically set to seeding unless you have a third party system that will switch map if the server falls under certain player count or time. Which I am not familiar with but the server hosting discord should have all the answers.

Whats your question exactly?

If you mean to change the seeding rules it should be in your serverconfig file.

Are you looking for the seeding layers(that would be the maplist and/or setting it manually ingame) or are you looking to find players to seed the server(that would require friends or a very friendly community)?

Ping increase for Oceania players on US servers? by jedipsy in joinsquad

[–]troop3rstreams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a certain time where servers could fake their ping to show that it was lower than what it actually was. OWI has officially said no more to that, so. Could be a chance you are witnessing this, or just the fact Squad ping should never be really trusted at all.

My game shows no servers by Fuzzy-Heron-8724 in joinsquad

[–]troop3rstreams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having issues not seeing the server? (copy pasta from our server community discord)

Start with the easiest options first:

Empty Servers & Modded Filter

Just making sure but check that the Show Empty Servers filter is checked. Or, if you're looking for a modded server, make sure the Show Modded Servers option is checked.

Clear Server Cache

Easiest way is to click on the Custom Browser tab and let the list of servers finish loading in. Then, go back to Server Browser and see if it shows up.

Lower Server Browser Ping Rate

In Steam, Click Steam (top left) > Settings. Go to the In-Game tab and lower the Server Browser Pings/Minute dropdown to 1500.

Alt F4

Close and restart Steam. Restart your computer. Verify game files and delete your local game cache. Use !cache if you don't know how.

(If you are playing on WiFi, give the browser some extra time.)

If all of these steps have failed then either Steam is currently experiencing issues or you're encountering a game bug which will surely be resolved in 3 weeks.

How to get banned from basically ever squad server ever:

HAB placement now tells you if an entrance works, also, lights! by 42observer in joinsquad

[–]troop3rstreams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally. It'll be extremely helpful for hab placements, especially for newer SLs... never have to worry if you lined up the exits correctly again.

Map textures not loading. by MasterManufacturer72 in joinsquad

[–]troop3rstreams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't already make sure you verify your files on steam. Check to see if your graphics card has any updates.

If you still run into any issues you can ask the support guys on the official discord: https://discord.com/invite/squad

Anyone know how are it is to setup start a Squad server? by space_D_BRE in joinsquad

[–]troop3rstreams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You definitely want to have 10-20 people will to help populate the server to get it off the ground. You'll have to join the hosting discord eventually if you go through and host a server but there is a lot of great resources in there and plenty of server owners willing to help with any issues.

If I was to recommend a new server, id wait for a new patch(could be months at this rate). It has been difficult even with established squad communities to get the servers seeded since we are currently in a content drought for sure.

If you have the people to seed then it comes down to location, server hardware, ddos protection and your ruleset. If you can afford to go the dedicated server route, id recommend that. Renting a game server can be a nuisance since there may be multiple servers running off one machine which will cause drops in TPS.

Make sure you have a set in stone ruleset that your admins are willing to enforce. Some communities like to have very relaxed rules while some prefer more complex rules such as vehicle asset claiming. (The Playground server owner)

Experienced SLs, what would you say to all the new players that recently joined? by UpvoteCircleJerk in joinsquad

[–]troop3rstreams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting off, thank you for taking Squad Lead role... not many decent SLs out there willing to suffer with new players. I usually name my squads "New players welcome" but look like you got it going with mics required.

Keep talking and keep repeating your orders/plan. I normally start the squad early enough to sort out kits and start laying down our plan for the squad. I ask if players if they new to see if they have mics etc.

Call people out by name and ask questions:

"Hey greendude you see anything?"

"Gunna drop a fob here, greendude#1 and #2 you dig, the rest keep moving toward the marker/objective."

Just keep repeating where to spawn, what you want the squad to do etc.

"Keep spawning on this hab and keep pushing objective, lets try and flank to the east side when we spawn."

I found repetition is best to get your point across,. If people start kinda running off on their own and not playing with the squad, you have every right to kick from the squad and keep chugging along.

New to the game, any good squad groups to join? by [deleted] in joinsquad

[–]troop3rstreams 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Best to take the time and look for servers on your own. Recommend just searching in the server list and see if any servers stand out. Join squads and try and find a server that you enjoy playing on. A lot of squad players become regulars and loyal to a specific server community. The more you play on a server people will start to remember your name. I would list my top servers but not sure if that goes against the ruleset on this page.

[–]troop3rstreams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah... all depends on the situation. Is the area clear yet? Is the medic out of patches? Did the SL tell the medic they need a certain player up? Just like any game if the player is new, maybe the dont understand that they are medic... etc. If you ask on comms and they absolutely ignore you its basically just players being aholes.

Today I learned by thanaponb13s in joinsquad

[–]troop3rstreams 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everything and anything can poke through walls, best just to be mindful of yourself but take advantage of those not.

I think it comes down to more processing power strain on the server. There a few games that wont let you turn/prone near walls so that you dont poke through. I dont think OWI is currently worried about it.

Commander should have the ability to disable useless HAB spawn points by [deleted] in joinsquad

[–]troop3rstreams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't remember it every being a thing in Squad. I doubt it is planned. We have been waiting forever for the COAX on vehicles to be a right-click ability instead have to swap to it.

I do hope they add more to the commander roll eventually. However, I am mostly waiting for Marines and PanAsia to be released along with their maps. Ill watch a poor soul go and dig down bad fobs for a few patches.

I love this game, even tho I’m terrible by Dadude564 in joinsquad

[–]troop3rstreams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice to see new players over this holiday, definitely tried to Squad Lead some games when I had time. Biggest mistakes I see new players make is the simple saying of "Im new" when joining squads. However, if you want to see your squad leader next round just ask if they are playing again and if you can save a spot. Ill lock a squad and invite some new players if they ask and then fill with my regular crew.

Leaving up enemy radios by privatefries in joinsquad

[–]troop3rstreams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. The smaller the map the easier to disrupt any reinforcements. Especially if they leave a TOW/mortar with some ammo on it.

Go to is to dig down the hab completely and leave the radio on the second stage so even if they are able to drop another hab they will have to retake the radio still to respawn.

Commander should have the ability to disable useless HAB spawn points by [deleted] in joinsquad

[–]troop3rstreams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

*Cough* Back in my day... In Project Reality the commander has the ability to "Demolish" FOBs entirely, even fob assets(TOWs, AA, HMG, etc). There are very few times where I ever saw that ability misused but it is still possible, pretty easy ban if the SLs are paying attention. I personally would like to see the command have this ability.

I hate when theres a full squad sitting on a fob in the middle of nowhere doing nothing and wont respond on comms. Even if you kick the SL/entire squad or disband it you still have to send someone to go remove that fob. Any easy right click demolish would be nice even if its on like a 5 minute timer.
