Hello everyone,

We just wanted to take a quick moment to say - thank you. Since High Above was revealed during the Future Games Show, I’ve been overwhelmed by the excitement for the game.

And here’s something amazing: I am happy to say that High Above passed over 10,000 wishlists on Steam!

I’ve been quietly building High Above for a while now, crafting rooftops and peaceful corners of the sky. I also have more good news, I am currently working on a demo so you can try the game too. Getting the demo into your hands will be another surreal moment for me, and I can’t wait to see what cozy rooftops you’ll create.

Once again, thank you for all your support. I am making High Above for you, so please share any feedback that you might have. And once it’s out, I hope it brings you a little bit of creative peace, too.


Talk to you soon,

Alex

The 2002 Ferrari 575M Maranello came as an upgraded version of the 550 Maranello. Featuring improvements such as a 5.7-liter V12 engine that could produce 508 bhp, bigger brake discs, and an improved weight distribution.


By far one of the biggest technological improvements added to the car was its gearbox. It was mounted in the back of the car to provide smoother and faster gear changes (specially when the car was in Sports Mode). The gearbox also had control over each of the four individual suspensions. This was also the first time an F1-style gearbox was fitted on a V12 road Ferrari.

The bigger engine required minor modifications in the body, which you can clearly spot on the hood which sports a new intake and in the front spoiler as well. Small changes to the car’s finish were also made to improve aerodynamics.

Unlock this car for 20 PTS on the Festival Playlist until May 8!

Unreal Engine 5 Public Playtest 2 is coming this Friday, May 02, 2025 11:00 AM PDT! Here’s what to expect:

You will need to download a special Playtesting Branch of Squad, that will be released later this week, with access on Friday.

There will be multiple servers being hosted by Community names that you will know and recognize! Feel free to play wherever you like, but servers will open and close to accommodate the population needs! The general public will not be given access to the Server hosting branch for testing.

There is a special Squad Testing Discord that has now been opened to the public. Please be aware that all the normal Squad Community server rules apply in this server as well. Please refer to the onboarding channels for help if you need it! Join the Discord HERE!

We want to also mention that this is a WORK IN PROGRESS build of Unreal Engine 5, and is still in active development. That means you are likely to come up against bugs, or features that don’t work/feel the same way as the current 8.2 version of Squad. We have included some known issues in this post, but anything that you come up against can be reported in the previously mentioned Discord Server for testing.

Testing will run over the weekend from May 2nd to May 5th, and then the UE5 Servers will be taken down.

We are also hoping you can take the time to fill out a survey for us, answering some questions about your experience during testing. This will be available IN GAME, in the News Box on the main menu. We will send out a reminder of this later on as well.

Here is the changelog from last playtest!

• Significant changes were included that should increase Server Performance overall. We identified a couple of things that were causing issues, including excess animations, that have been adjusted!
  
• Smoke grenades no longer continuously exploding when walked over
  
• Hands no longer disappear when vaulting
  
• Scout drones are no longer infinite in quantity
  
• Vehicles no longer instantly reload when near Repair Stations
  
• Buildings no longer have bullet-proof glass
  
• Technicals are no longer aggressively loud
  
• Weapons (general) several LOD issues have been fixed with infantry weapons

Some more changes:

Scalability:

• Updated to latest version of DLSS, offering greatly improved clarity in most scenes using the new Preset
  
• Tweaks to volumetric clouds settings, giving better performance for low presets

Worlds:

• Fixed landscape materials being broken on Tallil and Mestia
  
• Further attempts at optimization across our worst performing maps, still more to come
  
• Work is being done to the southeast corner of Al Basrah to address feedback from the first playtest, still WIP

These are just some of the changes made, that were the most popular bugs and feedback from the last playtest. We have resolved many more smaller issues.

Known Issues:

• We have yet to add the final pass on many of the Vehicles across the Factions. Paired with the new Vehicle physics, many of the vehicles may feel foreign or behave differently than you expect. Some Vehicles can get stuck on objects easier than in UE4 as well. Please leave us feedback on this in Discord. There has been an initial pass on the vehicles since the first playtest.
  
• There are some issues with PiP scopes that we are still working on.
  
• Some areas of the map may be too dark or too light when looking into or out of buildings.
  
• There are some known client crashes. Using the Unreal Engine crash report tool that pops up once Squad crashes, is a good way for us to receive a client crash. If you crash WITHOUT seeing the crash reporter, please let us know through the Testing Discord Server.
  
• There are some texture streaming related issues, which can cause microstutters especially when a VFX is starting to play.
  
• There are some visual artifacts relating to lighting and upscalers. There may be reduced sharpness, smearing, shadows or water surface shimmering or flickering may occur. This is something we are working to adjust for the next public playtest.
  
• For other issues, please report bugs in a bug report channel with as much information as possible.

Hello everyone,

For this new devblog, we’re going to focus on game content, and more specifically, review the various stages available in the game this year.

As explained in the devblog dedicated to Unreal, the new engine allowed us to rethink the way certain technologies function. We’ve reworked the stage loading method. This results in stages taking up significantly less space and has allowed us to substantially increase the number of stages available - for the first time, over 100 stages are included.


We won’t go into detail about the route of the 2025 Tour. Naturally, it’s present with its start in the Hauts-de-France region, passing through Brittany, the Pyrenees, Mont Ventoux, and the Alps before finishing on the Champs-Élysées. For players in Pro Team and Pro Leader modes, 11 alternate stages will modify the Tour route depending on the season. Here is the list in no particular order - it's up to you to guess where these stages fit in 😉.


The most observant among you may have noticed a mystery stage in the list - it will be revealed in the coming days.
The Critérium du Dauphiné and Paris-Nice also make their return. As many players now know, we must adapt our routes since production timelines don’t allow for the current year’s routes to be included. However, we strive to respect the overall balance and intent of the organizers.



The 3 Days of Provence remain true to their identity with a hilly profile and no excessive difficulties - a route inspired by early-season races in the south of France, perfect to kick off the year!


The Breizh Cup is no more and relocates to eastern France to make way for the brand-new Circuit Grand Est. The route now naturally includes more variety, including the Vosges mountains.


The Euro Tour remains unchanged: a stage race that stands out thanks to cobbled sectors, ideal for Flemish specialists.


The Open Tour keeps its short stage format. Based in the Southwest of France - with a brief visit to the Basque Country - this race is limited to riders under 25 years old in Race Mode.


All of these races will also benefit from brand-new leader jerseys - a welcome refresh, created by TomGtr7, a member of the PCM modding community.



The list of available classics expands with the arrival of a new ASO-licensed race. La Flèche Wallonne and its brutal Mur de Huy now join the 5 existing Monuments and the 4 World Championship routes, making for a total of 10 unique classics.


In total, there are 15,700 kilometers of roads (and sometimes trails and cobbles) spread across 102 routes:

• 21 flat
  
• 30 hilly
  
• 9 mid-mountain
  
• 23 mountain
  
• 3 cobbled
  
• 1 gravel
  
• 15 time trials

(Note: This total doesn’t include the Tour de France’s mystery stage.)

All of this is, of course, available for creating your own races in My Tour mode, or for online battles in 6-player Critérium mode. These stages also fuel the regular challenges of Race of the Moment, and while we’re on the subject, let’s not forget the Descents of the Moment, which will feature 23 different descents throughout the year.
