Why is performance SO BAD now?

[🪖[k]vnnlegacy-]

after a crazy update.. performance falls to the ground ..

Such bad performance now after the update.

Are we going to be getting a performance patch for this game any time soon devs? I am on a AMD 3600 @4.1 and a Nvidia 3060 and I struggle to get over 50fps on most of the maps now. I can change my settings to low and I get the same performance as my settings on Ultra. I can say a few of the maps run pretty decent ( around 70fps) but the ones with a lot of buildings and rain my pc hits 40fps avg and its unplayable. Game looks great now but it runs like doodoo for me :-(. I used to get around 70 to 100fps on most of the maps. Seems like a lot of people are dealing with the same issues when I talk to them in game.

trust me its a complete joke. I have a RTX 2070 and a i7-9700k@4.6Ghz and it runs so bad for me. The funny this is that if I play on low or epic, the framerate is the same . I will never understand the reason to improve the graphics. It looked fine before the new update, but hey lets ♥♥♥♥ up this game with new graphics and screw the new content updates. Im really hoping they update this soon, or somehow just go back to the old update (if thats even possible). I love squad a lot, but this is sad to see.

have you the disk cleanup and removing your directx shader chache? it 95% fixed the frame issue for me

I have not, I am not too sure how to do that but I will google it thanks

resetting shader cache did nothing for me performance wise

Some settings can give different results. For scope/binocular issue on Yehorivka for me works turning off a "tesselation" and "screen space ambient occlusion". From 25 FPS it goes to 55-60 FPS, just by those two options only, with almost no real noticable difference in visual quality.

Nice job OWI.

Im doing fine, rtx 2060 i5 8600k 32gb ram ddr4 3200mhz, without OC and high settings I got 40-60fps on a forest map, with overclock on ram cpu and gpu (cpu 4.5ghz, gpu 2085mhz, ram xmp on) i got 85-55fps, im on 1440p btw :)

[DeeGee206]

I think I need to play around with my nvidia settings and see what else I can come up with maybe because the in game settings do not seem to effect fps in any way. I can play on low medium high and ultra with the same fps, its weird. If I find anything that increases performance I will holler back. Hopefully we get a performance patch soon though cause the game is running pretty rough for a lot of us lol

Have massively varying performance, running in a 3090 since the last update, many simple things like bullet decal splatter sending my FPS tanking.

Low GPU usage seems to be a big problem in this game for many people.
The reason why players see the same FPS at low settings as they do on higher settings. The easiest way I've found to "force" a higher frame rate and GPU usage was to play with the settings enough to find that baseline level of acceptable FPS for you. Then raise the Resolution Scale slider until you see about of average of 85% GPU usage. That way the GPU is being utilized and you have some headroom for when you are in more graphically intense areas to not go over and end up lowering FPS anyway.

I'm on a 2080 and 3700x @1440p and I hover around the 70-90 fps range most of the time.

Game uses literally 1 core of CPU(bad multithread optimization), devs became aware only now, despite people reporting it for YEARS and GPU is not the problem here.

60 fps is not enough for people with higher refresh rate on their monitors, 60 is not enough for me for a FPS game.
