Some players have been reporting issues lately, so here's a fool-proof guide in case it can help some of them play their favorite "dead game" :

Experiencing crashes or getting kicked from the server with no crash log?

One of your mods is likely corrupted or outdated.
Follow every step in order, as skipping one may allow the issue to persist :

1. Close the game

2. Unsubscribe from ALL Squad 44 mods

Do this directly through the Steam Workshop

3. Clear your cache

Press Windows + R, paste:

%localappdata%\PostScriptum\Saved\Config\

Then delete the WindowsNoEditor folder

4. Verify your game files

Steam Library → Right-click Squad 44 → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files

5. Manually subscribe to the required mods from the Steam Workshop

Open the Workshop page for each mod you want to install and click Subscribe. Be careful which mods you subscribe to, as some may interfere with your game even when playing on vanilla servers

6. Wait for Steam to finish downloading everything

Do not launch the game until all downloads are complete

7. ALWAYS install mods through the Steam Workshop

NEVER use the built-in mod downloader. It is unreliable and may fail to install or auto-update mods correctly

⚠️ Experiencing critically low FPS ?

The mods runs at acceptable performance levels for most players. However, a small minority may experience critically low FPS that modders cannot realistically resolve without spending a lot of time chasing marginal gains. Most are constantly working toward incremental performance improvements, but for a modding team left without proper dev monitoring tools, meaningful optimization on this game is a long-term process involving months of testing, trial and error.

You are still encouraged to report critically low FPS, as knowing how many players are affected and under what circumstances helps modders identify potential causes. However, given our limited resources, we cannot guarantee that every issue can be fixed or that performance will magically improve overnight.

Why?
