Really bad fps
I got this game a couple of days ago and my pc seems to not be able to run it at all. With any other game it has never struggled and I get over 100 frames easily. With squad, I get about 10 frames or less and the game is unplayable. I've tried turning my settings down and I uninstalled and reinstalled and even verified my files. Any suggestions? I have a ryzen 7 2700x gtx 1050ti 16gb of ram

I have the same issue but I have a AMD FX-8350 Vishra and a GTX 1070ti and now unable to play pretty much for the first time since the game started selling on Steam...sucks hard.

change your CPU

Is this for every map?

Some newer maps are low FPS, the game is CPU bound, and FPS depends heavily on how many players are in the match. That said, the older maps are sufficiently well-behaved to rendrr at 60+fps with both of your systems.

There are also momentary FPS drops all over, even down to single digit FPS for a few seconds, eg when first looking through a weapon's optics, spawning at a hab, or in other "tricky" situations like that (sarcarm), but most of the time, it doe hold at 40+ FPS on all maps.

We should get in the habbit of reporting the map name and how many players were in the match, otherwise FPS figures are not comparable between one player's experience and another's.

All that bein said, 10FPS for any amoung of time other than a momentary drop sounds abnormal, and suggests something else may be wrong. Need more specific info. Map name, number of players, what circumstances? Is 10fps the lowest you observed, or steady throughout the match?

Just curious what kind of problems you're having?

I run an FX-8350 with an RX 480 8GB and 16GB RAM. I run it at 1080p/4x AA/16x AF/all settings maxed out but fully load textures is off because some maps do use all 16GB of RAM and cause stuttering and I have Audio set to Low.

That's the big one on these older CPU's or audio chipsets, maybe that could be your problem? The game used to run fine for me with audio on Epic, but here a short while back, they did some big update and I couldn't play without stuttering like crazy. Epic audio ended up being the problem. Just throwing that out there to see if it helps.

have a similar problem, I have overclocked fx8300, 16 ram, 2 ssd in raid0 and gtx 1060 6gb, there is no way to play the game at least it is around 30/40 fps and suddenly the use of gpu drops to 0% , and when I put the game at maximum it runs around 60/70 fps but when I die and is waiting for the use of the gpu it falls again staying low% and dropping the fps, already checked the temperature and drivers, already reinstalled the game and anything. Can anyone help?

Just random drops to 1fps then freeze and lag out/crash. Must have had the UE4 crash about 6 times in a span of 1hr.

I have pretty much the same settings. I did have a feeling it could by the audio setting so will try to switch and test that today.

Make sure that you are setting your sound quality to low with a FX cpu. Solves any issues you might be having with freezes and stutters.

Yes this game has always been poor in performance. For six years. Only way is to wait for a update which is made for optimization or get used to the low figures on the fps side.

buy Intel, then overclock 5.0ghz

I will try this and report back. Post Scriptum works fine on highest audio setting.

UPDATE: It worked! I can play now thank you! In a previous patch, this issue was fixed so I forgot about changing audio quality.

If you are running on AMD FX series processors, set audio quality to LOW, apply settings then restart the game.

Switch to the Beta Experimental version. Thank me later. I haven't crashed a single time since switching over to that.

every game i have tried to play in squad it goes down to single digit frames for the majority of the time. My friends can run the game fine but mine seems to never run smoothly. When I spawn in it goes down to single digits and spikes up to like 20 then goes down to 7-10 then goes to 50 then back down to 6 then stays there and its really confusing.

Turning sound quality to Low and restarting game fixed it for me. my spec: AMD FX-8350 & gtx970. 16gb of 1333 DDR3. If you are using windows 10, find a guide to turning off game mode and whatever else they have in W10.

I was able to run this game reliably on amd fx-6100/gtx970 and 8gb 1033 DDR3. If you have low memory(like I used to) run this in background https://www.wagnardsoft.com/content/intelligent-standby-list-cleaner-v1000-released and alt+tab purge standby list once you load into a server; otherwise the game will switch to HDD/SSD pagefile and cause stuttering. Note: This trick didn't work in post scriptum because it has massive memory leaks.. needed min. 12gb RAM and this trick to run postscriptum.
