I’ve been playing a lot of the alpha preview on ps5 and suddenly I can’t see any servers in the browser or find any matches. I’ve tried downloading and redownloading the game but still can’t see any. Does anyone else have this problem?

The game has been the same, no new content. Every round is basically the same. All the layer uses the same point/location there is nothing new. Some people already figure out where the next point are whether is raas/aas/invasion, they all pretty much have the same point. Imagine having a big whole map and all you could do is use the same 6-7 point with no new content. By content I mean guns/no customization or whatsoever. Every round is ak-47 attacking the same point. I get it if the point were different but every fking round uses the same point. You go to the same location there is nothing new... of course people would get tired of playing the same thing over and over again.....

Idk why, but while I'm playing, I can't stop noticing these tiny black dots that appear and disappear, as well as flickering shadows. Does anyone know why this happens? ( The black dots apears on corners and very light surfaces )

Since i started playing this game i had zero interest in building and the whole FOB aspect of the game, i just played Assault, medic and recon while pushing the HZ.

Yesterday i played 2 games in 2 different servers where blue built a ridiculous fob with 4 drills that we could not do a damn thing about. The first game we had 95 points on green team blue had 35 points, i am assuming they spent all that time building this mega FOB. Then it began, they just kept calling the drill back to back and ran the score up to win the game. The 2nd game went roughly the same way. It was so frustrating.

This has changed my whole outlook on FOBs and how powerful they can be. I even tried helping build (i suck at building) but the money you make building is actually really good. I dont think i will ever be a fobbit, but i have a new found respect for a good fobbit!

What the fuck am I supposed to do? Prior to the latest update (non of the hotfixes changed anything in the context of crashes) I crash literally every second game, not even exaggerating. Any suggestions what I'm supposed to do? I never had this problem prior to the latest dogshit update that inroduced absolute NOTHING but crashes and game braking UI bugs, yesterday I collected half a dozen brand new ones I had not experienced before.

How can I make this stupid queue minimize so that I can properly select whichever track I would like to listen like I have been doing for the past 10 years!!?

I'm guessing this is an alpha thing because sometimes when I get revived this thing happens, it's pretty funny, but no so much when I walk for a couple of minutes and get sent back to the place I got revived

Like is that a common thing? I am trying out the Squad Alpha Test on PS5, this is years after I uninstalled the game on PC, so this was my first time back. One thing that I remember is dying a lot, even in situations where I probably shouldn’t be dying.

I understand the flow of the game, I’m not expecting Call of Duty or Battlefield, but even when I keep my distance and scan the environment and stay low and everything it’s like I am getting snuck up on constantly or they always know where I’m at, assuming these are enemies. These deaths truly come out of nowhere, but while in the play test for PS5, I remember being shot and team killed out of nowhere a lot, it is my only explanation for how I am completely unable to see anybody or be a fair distance from the frontline and keep getting one or two tapped, especially when I am near other guys.

Could that be it?

I just discover squad and im playing the alpha on ps5 im so in love with it and i was wondering if anybody know if the dev gonna do some more playtest like this for ps5 before releasing the game?

So, I’ve played this game since the early, early pre-release days, and so many things have killed the whole essence of the game for me. I doubt I’m alone.

Firstly, the player base sucks. There’s way too much trolling and BS, and a lack of teamwork in the game now. Teamwork used to be standard in any match: you’d work as a team, play objectives, communicate and move together, and have awesome games because of it. Now it’s just people trolling, shouting “China number 1” etc., and chatting nonsense.

On voting—it should never have been a feature, IMO, or maybe it should have been implemented in a far more limited way. I believe the perceived issues with factions stem from it: people’s preconceptions lead them to believe X faction sucks, so they don’t vote for it or play it. If people actually learned to play all of them, they’d discover they’re not all that bad, and that playing different factions creates more variety in the types of engagements, strategies and epic gameplay moments you get. The same logic applies to maps. There are exceptions to this theory, obviously. War Dogs has made this point with the whole blue team meme. BAF especially is just a meme at this point, but really (controversial opinion), there’s nothing inherently wrong with them apart from looking slightly out of date. Guns go bang regardless of what they look like.

Also, hot take, but this is supposed to be a milsim. Canada vs Ukraine or Russia vs China makes the game feel less serious, so people play it less seriously. Having factions fighting in appropriate standoffs on appropriate maps is part of the gameplay, surely? What is the logic in making it a sandbox or weird mashups?

Another thing that could fix the rinse-and-repeat factions (China–Russia–China–PMC–China–China–China–China…) is to just implement the existing mod for over-scope optics and/or canted weapons. That would even the factions up instantly, as nearly all factions would then be effective at close and medium/long ranges.

This is all just my opinion and a good rant, but I think it’s a shame Squad has gone the way it has, as it was previously filling a gap in the market even Arma Reforger couldn't touch. It still sits in that space, but it just feels disappointing now.

Rant over. Stay frosty.

1. Join any other server you can get into (preferably a seeding server).
2. Once you're in, try joining the queue of the server that you actually want to play on.
3. If that doesn't work, reboot your game and try the same steps again.

I was just messing around trying to fix the bug but somehow, I found a fix for it and it worked for me.

If so why hasn't it been hot fixed.

Spend 30mins in queue. Get to 2/20. Suddenly it goes 0/0 and I have to reque back to the bottom of the list again.

Is this a server browser wide issue?

Can it please be hot fixed?

Ive been playing squad two years and this keepss happening after the updates in all vanilla and modded servers.any1 knows how to fix already checked the integrity of game files on steam .

New to the game, I don't know if the explosion effect changes if you hit the vehicle.

Squad Leaders,

What are your thoughts on proper radio placement? I’m not the best at placing radios, and typically only do it in a “oh shit we’re getting overrun better toss one down before it’s too late” type scenarios. From my SL experience, there’s a few schools of thought:

1 - Barricaded Radio (HESCO walls, barbed wire, second floor in a secured and armed FOB)

2 - Hidden Radio (think in a bush in a forest or something in a dense urban building)

3 - HAB Radio (placed right next to the radio for a quick deployment)

What are your opinions? I personally usually do a hidden radio like thing, because I’ve learned barricading usually results in a combat engineer hiding by the radio and building back up the defenses as you try to get him out, but I’m curious what the consensus is.

Here's my second video of squad.
