FAQ

### **Q: How do I install the mod?**

A: Click on the URL workshop page: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2428425228 and click SUBSCRIBE. (Having other Squad mods installed may cause errors, we encourage you to only run Galactic Contention if you run into any problems).

### **Q: How do I join the game?**

A: After launching Squad, open the Server Browser and search for “Galactic”, making sure you have the following filters selected:

### **Official Servers**

1. [GC] Galactic Contention
2. [GC] Galactic Contention 2
3. [GCVE] Galactic Contention Europe (this server is currently in the Custom Browser)

### **Q: Why can’t I see the server in the Main Browser?**

A. Ensure that you are using the Main browser. Double check your server filters AND wait a minute or two until it filters the servers. The video below shows how to do all this if you need more help.

## Other Common Questions

### **Q: Can I test out stuff in a solo match?**

A: Yes, if you want to play around with all the kits or just fly around maps, load into Training -> Jensen’s Range and use the console *to **AdminChangeLayer GC\_Tatooine\_Training***

Shift+P will activate spectator cam and allow you to move around freely, Below are some useful commands as well.

* ***AdminForceAllRoleAvailability 1*** - Enables all kits.
* ***AdminForceAllDeployableAvailability 1*** - Allows you to place any deployable.

### **Q: Squad is not loading / giving me a black screen after subscribing to the mod.**

A: This is usually caused by Steam not having downloaded the mod completely. Go to the Steam Downloads page and make sure that the Squad Workshop Content download is marked as complete. If the issue persists, unsubscribe from other Squad mods; there are some compatibility issues with other mods due to the size and scope of Galactic Contention.

### **Q: How can I become a moderator?**

A: We open staff applications every few weeks and only accept applications during those times. Feel free to ask any staff about what it’s like being on the team, but please do not ask for a spot on the team. Our team is quite selective and most times we will reach out to you before you reach out to us.

### **Q: Will there be a version of the Empire vs. Rebels?**

A: At this current state, there are no plans to expand to this timeline of the canon. The developers' focus has begun to shift and find a balance between the mod here and to their indie game at Project Disparity.

### **Q: How do I turn on/off the flashlight?**

A: Shift + 9 turns the flashlight on and off.

### **Q: How do I turn on/off the jetpack trooper's high jump?**

A: Shift + 0 turns the jump pack on and off.

### **Q: Am I able to host this mod on my own server?**

A: Yes, absolutely! GC is for all to enjoy and you are more than welcome to host the mod on your own server. We recommend you have an intermediate level of understanding of hosting servers and are ready to trouble shoot. Your server will appear in the Custom Browser unless you choose to go through the licensing process, which you can learn more about at the OWI Hosting Discord.
