Squad using way too much memory

[turbo]

After update 4.2 I have noticed that my RAM usage while in a game goes over 90% and causes lag.

Does anyone else have the same problem and is it fixable without buying more memory?

Don't use mods.

Hard to gauge your question without knowing the specs of your system. I have 12gigs dedicate video memory and 64gigs system memory. I don't have "memory" issues with 'Squad'. Also, having the game installed on a SSD over a standard spindle drive improves framerate, as well as disabling Steam Overlay can add some fps boost.

Spindle Drive? A Spindle Drive is a type of motor.

Hard Disk Drive is what you are referring to.


Solid State Drives have a much higher read and write than Hard Disk Drives. This can allow for the RAM and GPU to access textures and other memory faster which drastically improves load times.

Solid State Drives have advantages over Hard Disk Drives in games that require loading large chunks of data especially if they are doing so without load screens.






Squad FPS boosts can be achieved through different methods depending on the current system component that is limiting performance.

If you are having a CPU bottle neck the best way to improve performance is to go into the audio settings and change the quality from Epic to Low. This reduces the number of Audio Channels and drastically lowers CPU impact. This setting right here is what most squad players need to change when they are having crazy "Random" FPS lock ups.

Hmm, vanilla squad eats up 5~6 GB of ram on my 16 GB computer too. Quite smooth at 5, gets real stuck when it hits 6. And yep, it's on an SSD.

Edit: I thought the computer was 8 GB. Nope, it's 16 GB of overclocked DDR4; it's just something else not showing up in the task manager is eating up 6. Next time I run the game, I should probably fire up RAMMap and empty out some "standby list".

Please post Wireshark details . We should scrutinise who and what Squad is posting your personal information to

It is not just ram. VRAM usage is a major issue also.

The game is literally made by modders that have 0 technical know how.

True and then bought over by a company that have 0 relations to any of its playerbase
