Galactic Contention Hosting FAQ
Got questions about running your own Clone Wars server? We've got answers.
How do I install the Galactic Contention mod?
It's incredibly simple. In your server control panel, navigate to the Workshop or Mods section, enter the Galactic Contention Workshop ID, and restart the server. The panel will download and install the files automatically.
Can the server actually handle 100 players?
Yes. Squad is very CPU-intensive, especially with heavy mods. Our partner utilizes high-clock-speed enterprise processors designed specifically to maintain high tickrates in full 50v50 lobbies.
Do my players need to download the mod?
Yes. Any player attempting to join your server must be subscribed to the Galactic Contention mod on the Steam Workshop. If they aren't, the game will typically prompt them to download it upon joining.
Can I switch back to vanilla Squad?
Absolutely. If you want to take a break from the mod, simply remove the Workshop ID from your configuration and change your map rotation back to vanilla layers. A quick restart is all it takes.
