Recruits!
Update v2.3.1 is now available for download. This hotfix includes polishing for the conquest gamemode, further performance enhancements, and also a fix for the issue previously preventing players from joining a server that had the game installed on an HDD or an external SSD.
Before deploying, remember to clear your cache before joining a server for a smooth operation. Thank you, recruits!
If you're looking for other fellow recruits to fight alongside, we suggest joining the Squad 44 Community Discord!

Conquest
Players no longer spawn within 45 degrees in front of the Squad Lead; they will spawn behind and to the side to reduce the potential of friendly fire.
Squad Leader spawns will go inactive when enemies are within 20m (red colour).
When enemy players outnumber friendly players on a capture point, the capture point spawn becomes inactive (red colour).
Capture point spawns give players 2 seconds of spawn protection and offer more variety in where players spawn within the area to reduce the potential of spawn camping.
Players can now spawn up to 5 Mechanised or Specialised vehicles (up from 3).
Ticket bleed is now visually shown in the UI.
