Update v2.3 will be available to download on July 29th at 11 AM PT. This update brings further optimization improvements, a new gamemode, two new infantry weapons, two new flamethrower tanks, and several significant bug fixes!
We have implemented a temporary fix for the HDD loading bug. However, we continue to advise players to install Squad 44 on an SSD instead of an HDD to achieve better performance while we wait for EAC support.
Before deploying, remember to clear your cache before joining a server for a smooth operation. Stay sharp out there!
If you haven't and want to chat with fellow players about Update v2.3 please join the Squad 44 Discord!
