Goose bay huge frame drops

[Reclaimer]

Is it just me or others experience this problem. It is more pronounced when mowing faster and near people. I don't have any problems on other maps, but on this one my fps drops down to 5 even with all settings on low. I verified game files but all checks out.
If anyone has more info on what I should increase/decrease in graphic settings it would help greatly.

The exact issue you described was you CPU/GPU utilisation dropping due to increased player activity around you ? Thought that was common..., although i haven't really checked if the same happens to me, i suppose it does, will take a look at it next time i play.

Omg, here we go again...

Yes I described that CPU bottleneck GPU while heavy load but only in Squad and Hell Let Loose. I never faced this problem in any other game. So it's not problem of my hardware but game, lack of optimization.


It's happening to you. I told you that your 60-70FPS while heavy load is exactly the same thing. Do you believe it's normal that your FPS is dropping by 50%, how do you feel about it personally?

Install MSI afterburner or any other monitoring software and check your CPU but especially GPU utilization when FPS dropping.

I will tell you even more. When your FPS dropping to 60-70FPS your GPU temperature drops along with utilization.. Can you check it and post screen?

Also they wrote they are still looking into it..., and optimization is an ongoing process as i understand it.

Mostly they wrote that:

"...it does not appear to be affecting the majority of players..."

It's affecting everyone. Maybe those with 5.0Ghz CPU clock don't have bottleneck.

Is it possible there some additional specifics to your Utilization issue apart from the general lack of optimization of the game ?

Nope it's not. I played other games without any problem but if you repeat yourself I will also do that:

-PUBG 100-120FPS
-Insurgency Sandstorm 100-120FPS
-Mordhau 100-120FPS
-Hell Let Loose before Update 8 (December 2020) 90-120FPS with small drops.

Ones again you're trying to push problem on my side even if I explained it probably more than 20 times already, directly to you.

Is it the last time? I don't think so.

Hey, I found the cause the reason behind FPS drops. CPU underutilization bottlenecks GPU causing GPU underutilization.

Sound simple but it's not. Now we have to convince devs that it should be priority. Not amphibious, not new map, Australian factions was bought 2 years ago so they can release easily :).

Yes.

- Make big sign that says "OWI - OPTIMIZE SQUAD"

- Travel to Vancouver.

- Stand before whereever they are located and protest until they optimized it.

Or

- Buy stronger CPU.

You can also ask people every time they writing on Squad steam forum that game is working like crap:

"Have you tried turning it off and on again", means did you clear your cache?🤣

I also remind that game is heavily unoptimized and this guy is proposing people to buy rig for 2500 - 3000$ to be able to play game for 50$.

Sound logical, don't ask lazy devs to change priorities and do something difficult and profitable like optimization, buy new CPU (with new motherboard and cooling) because Intel wants to sell new 11th and 12th generation that differs nothing since 9th.....

Especially now when they raised prices, how smart 😁

Stop bickering on this thread please. We all want Squad to run better, divert this attention to the lazy devs at OWI that have taken our money for an un-optimised product that should still be in early access.

I did my part, soon I'm gonna make separate thread and post e-mails from them.

This works only if we agree that there is problem and simply talk about it. Push them sightly to do that.

It's difficult when devs from second accounts trying to cover up topics like this instead of sitting and fixing the game... 😉

I agree completely, one person cant make a difference when it comes to making devs realise their game runs like ♥♥♥♥. I will keep an eye out for your thread and back it. More people do need to realise that this is not okay for a full release title and that the game has serious optimisation problems that should be priority over a stupid free camera mode for content creators. Yeah, OWI are good at covering posts up that shine a light on how poor the game runs, just wish they could apply that same effort to giving the people who play their game a better experience. Unfortunately that is the sad reality of the gaming industry today, once they have your money they dont care.

so, uh, is this still happening to any of you? I start out fine, but the longer the game goes on, its becomes more like a slideshow, but only when I have snow on my screen (when running I look up at the sky so its not 5 fps..)

[Geebus]

Something to keep in mind is that Squad maps usually take quite a while to become "optimized". The newer the map, the more likely it will chug.

[Altair (アルタイル)]

The game is still a hit or miss on some maps performance there are instances where the game ran perfectly and when they update it gets worse. Since I rarely play SQUAD due to optimization issues, I still check in and see how it goes but inconsistent performance per update/patches with a decent rig R7 3700X, 32GB, RX5700XT.

this should not happen - your fps in Squad may be better or worse, but they should be stable,

CPU or GPU overheating and throttling down ? Some Memory issue maybe ?

wait, i didn't read properly - only with snow ? thats odd - whats your gpu ?

Iin snow, and the ocean actually, I've noticed. 3070, 32 ram, i9
not sure whats going on, but no throttle for sure

[Chick-Magnet]

Ive noticed that all of the sudden? A game i usually have run at a steady 55-60 is stuttering and FPS dropping alot. Cleared the user cache no change. Im leaning a bit more twords a GPU problem but if only there were a reliable diagnostic tool that weren't malware; or told you the problem in layman's terms.

[Super Sniper]

Why there are always proposals for Cleared the user cache is a mystery to me.
Stop that now. That never makes sense and is never necessary.
Your graphics card isn't as good as my 2014 970gtx.
It is quite normal with this map that it performs less.
I'm at +60 fps everywhere, but 40 fps on this map.
So nothing wrong with your system. It's a heavy big field

I've got the same issue. It's only ever the snow, and it's a slow progressive degradation of FPS on Goose Bay. (GTX 1060, i7-7700)
