Are you on DX11 or 12?

the new update has absolutely wreck performance for me. I try to run this game on medium settings and getting terrible stuttering. I have a 5800x and 3080 with 32gb ram. they need to fix this. so ridiculous. running directx 12 on win 11. directx11 doesn't seem to have these problems tho.

im on dx12

Did you run the ingame benchmark?

[Wormcicle420]

i bassicaly have the same components as you and somehow the game runs without lag,
maybe check geforce exp and let it optimise the game

[VAST]

@Romgaard_x_ yes and its still really low

dx12 update got me higher maximum frames but when matches get going some maps drop below 50. also introduced occasional texture bugs for me

Weird, my specs are much worse than yours but i'm having no trouble running most of the maps around 80FPS on 1440p medium with Quality FSR.

Are you sure your settings are all right? Not playing on 4K resolution by accident? Maybe check your installed driver versions of your GPU, maybe you're using an older version that's causing issues.

Did you do this? ( otherwise try that):
Clicking the “Defaults” button on the Graphics Settings Menu will run a benchmark test on both your CPU and GPU and automatically apply recommended graphics settings once complete. As there have been some changes and optimizations to the graphics settings as part of the engine upgrade, we strongly recommend running this benchmark once you have updated Squad.
Also clear game cache ( do this after every update..just to be sure)

And could you post your settings and FPS after?
Thx

I usually don't whine on games, but just installed this game after a long time and with an high-end PC I reach 55 fps on low settings. Playing on low also makes you not able to see anyhting, so it's literally unplayable. I don't know how people can play it. The maps are too ambitous.

switch to DX 11. on DX 12 i'm not breaking 50fps, on DX11, we're back to 130.

Dx12 is so bad, getting low fps, minifrezze ,stutter every 3-5 seconds
Switch back to Dx11, now is smooth

i tried playing on dx12 running around the firing range and my frames dropped from 90 down to 40 as soon as my GPU hit 100% usage with the killhouse bots turned on. i play on 2K, all high, TAA 4x sample.

running FSR 2.0 on 1.5 or 2.0 setting helps and does push frames as it also decreases GPU load, but the reticles on weapons look horrible and wash out really fast. almost impossible to aim with those.
