Thanks everyone for adding your own advice and tips in the comments, If you have just got here make sure to have read through below as well if you are having issues, chances are someone else has had the same issue and the fix might be in the comments below. Cheers
What immediately did it for me was putting it on fullscreen, idk what caused it to run at a lower resolution with borderless but that fixed it. Thanks!
Amazing , i'm running an rtx 2060 12gb and was struggling a bit with lagginess, now is much better, 1080p is more cpu intensive probably (I have an i3 12100f), I have vsync on at 60fps always and the gpu was very quiet but still the game was running a bit like crap, so the higher resolution using dsr fixed this i think, also dlss on on quality, cool shit thanks man
hello, I still have a problem with the graphics on the games, for example on American vehicles, the American white star is a big white spot. also the character skins don't look like anything, could you help me?
Sounds like a texture loading issue what GPU do yo have ? I have only heard of this happening on cards with low amounts of VRAM. I would try turning down all graphics, especially the texture settings and trying to restart the game.
@@Azza-25 i have a NVIDIA geforce GTX 1050 but I think that the graphics card is not the problem because I had the same problem on squad and I managed to solve it making the game beautiful. my problem is that certain textures do not load and since the video parameters are incomplete on squad 44, I cannot find how to solve my problem
@@Protygamer2.0 Hey mate the GTX 1050 only has 4GB of VRAM so there probably isn't enough memory for the all the textures to load. Couple of hacks to get around it is to change texture streaming command line in gameusersettings.ini or to increase your virtual memory so that your GPU has more shared video memory available. Both are bad options and will provide poor performance but it should get your textures to load. I know Squad has the option to set your texture streaming pool size, I'm sure this can probably be done for Squad 44 in the .ini files but I haven't looked into it sorry.
@@Azza-25in squad, I had the same problem and I managed to solve it by modifying the super sampling and activating AMDFSR and checking that fsr2 was deactivated, which made the game magnificent. On squad 44 I already tried to change .ini files but that didn't do anything. I also set the graphics quality to the minimum possible and it still hasn't done anything.
Brilliant everything you said worked a charm, looks brilliant and great frames , very well described, great advice well detailed , followed it to a T I gave up playing But now im back and having a great time thanks to you Had crappy frames on a high spec pc now i have 100+ on a 3080TI and crisp graphics Thanks Azza Nicely done mate
I have a GTX 1660 idk if thats a good enough card or what but mine still looks very cartoony. Also I do not have an option for DLSS, the whole DLSS selection bar is just greyed out like its not an option, the medium, high, etc is there its just greyed out and unselectable. I would like to play it but it just looks like crap, maybe its just my graphics card idk.
@@duyanhnguyen3249 Oh okay . . . I just got into PC gaming a year ago. I am not a PC expert, I am learning bit by bit but there is allot to learn. Thank you for explaining this to me sir.
Hi. My CPU is Ryzen 7 3700X and GPU 3070 Suprim, resolution 2560x1440p and I have 40-50 fps. Dont you know how to it to ať least 70 please? Should I change the resolution to 3840x2160? I tried to change the settings, turn off SSGI, Ambient Occlusion, set everything to high, but still get 40-50. I dont know how to do it anymore :/
Ryzen 9 5900X. The game still plays fine for me, I know a lot of people are having issues, I don't understand why though. I have seen people with 4090s and X3D Series CPUs saying they only get 50FPS on a full server which just seems totally illogical given the performance I get in game. I have always said this game is poorly optimised but it's not really any worse than most other games built on UE4 IMO. If I could get the same performance on HLL as I do in S44 I would be happy, that game is jittery mess right now. If I compare S44 to SQUAD though, my performance in that game is a fair bit better than S44, I think given the fact the devs have only had the game a couple months we need to give them some time work their magic, I'm sure in a couple months time people wont even be talking about performance in this game as it will be on point hopefully.
@@moravianlion3108 I wouldn't say it was fixed, this game still has a long way to go with optimisation, but the latest patch definitely did unfuck some things and help a lot, especially for those on older hardware. So the Devs did a great job with that, and the game has never run better than it does right now so things are definitely looking good for the future.
I have RTX2060 in the Asus G14, the biggest mistake i made was i bought a ultrawide monitor that runs at 3440x1440, way beyond what the RTX2060 is capable to handle for this game. 2m pixels vs 4.9m pixels is a huge hit to the GPU, I cant even hit 60fps with good frametimes at everything low with DLSS at ultra performance
Awesome video, thankyou so much! I'm also running ultrawide, but when I select the higher DSR resolution my frames get locked to 60 - i have a 120hz monitor and have 118 fps selected both in game and nvidia settings...
You are not the first person to do this and certainly wont be the last, cheers for adding your issue / fix. There is some awesome little tips, tricks and tidbits of info in here, maybe I should put together a video with all these little bits of info because there is so many little things like this that bug people all the time.
"Now you don't have to worry about what it is or how it does it, just know that it makes shit look good" "First thing we're gonna address, is these fucking clown graphics" 🤣🤣🤣
The bright buildings and the weird green of the grass and foliage is still ticking me off. It's like playing Fortnite with all that bright crap and weird colors
Devs still need to overhaul a lot of the textures as the new lighting makes some of them stand out. I'm sure this is only the fist step in the graphics overhaul, updating a game with such outdated graphics to something more suitable for 2024 is a big job. Thing is those textures have always looked like that, they didn't go in and make things worse, it's just that the lighting in this game was so bad before you couldn't see anything to complain about.
What GPU do you have, as long as it's an Nvidia card that support DLSS that shouldn't be happening. I would jump on the official discord and post something in the support or feedback section letting the devs know so they can take a look at the issue.
Hey man, i'm back to S44/PS after a couple of years. Running it with 5600X + 3060 Ti and i really can't afford Epic settings with DLR + DLSS. Native res + DLAA looks good though but my problem is the SSGI. I would like to set it to Medium because the dark black shadows looks crushed and for example the truck at the Arnhem Range has a completely black suspension with SSGI turned off (the night maps are basicaly unplayable). Native res is 2560x1440 for me., every other setting is Epic or turned ON (except motion blur) Looking at the truck normaly/in ADS a i get: 88/78 FPS Native res + DLAA + SSGI Off 68/61 FPS 2160p DSR + DLSS Quality + SSGI Off 66/61 FPS Native res + DLAA + SSGI Medium 58/53 FPS 2160p DSR + DLSS Quality + SSGI Medium I would like to get 90-80 FPS at Arnhem range with SSGI Medium, but i don't want to sacrifice the image quality too much. Is there other setting that has big impact on performance, but doesn't make the game look much worse? What would you suggest?
I think i found the setting - Ambient Occlusion. With that turned off, i get 73/70 FPS at Native+DLAA+SSGI Medium compared to 68/65 FPS at 2160p DSR+DLSS Balanced+SSGI Medium. Both of these settings are almost identical except DLSS does the game make a bit darker. I don't have a problem with bright cartoony graphics at all though. Maybe they already patched it, or i have calibrated my monitor properly :D .. it doesn't look that bright as in your video and it never did (but i skipped the dark ages of Post Scriptum, so who knows). Anyways .. thank you for this video. You got a sub.
Hi, I'm the one with 50 fps in intense battles with lots of people etc. you wrote to me in a steam discussion: "Dude, I have identical hardware (CPU + GPU) and don't have the same problem. How can the problem not be on your side. I'm almost sure I know what the solution is for you, because there is something related to the update that will cause poor performance if not fixed. But you don't want advice, so I won't mention it. Have fun with your choppy 50 FPS." i took your settings and even with a much higher resolution of 5120x2880 (your test resolution 5120x2160) i get more fps in this shooting range. of course i made sure to stand and look the same. also my pc is only air cooled and nothing really high end. Looks like it's not due to my system but simply crappy programming of the game. Of course I can show proof if you doubt it. unlike your ridiculous steam message.
Yes I did say that on Steam, because you said the problem couldn't possibly be on your end and didn't want any advice on how to possibly fix it. I don't get what you are trying to say here, if your point is that you get a higher FPS in the shooting range compared to online in a server, then yes, that is correct. You will indeed get a much higher FPS in an almost empty map with nobody around when your CPU has very little to do. That is why the shooting range is good for testing GPU performance without having to worry about the CPU limiting outright performance, It's not representative of the FPS you will get in an online game. UE4 is very heavy on the CPU. As for why you are struggling so much with FPS I can't help you without knowing your exact circumstances, maybe your air cooler is inefficient and your CPU is throttling I don't know. Have you made sure you don't have SSGI on HIGH or EPIC as there is a bug that automatically sets it to HIGH or EPIC sometimes when loading into a map / changing map etc. Have you even checked your CPU / GPU utilisation in game to figure out what's causing the performance issue ? Is it related to your GPU or your CPU ? You didn't offer anything other than essentially saying you tried changing things and the game is fucked. You can say my message on Steam is ridiculous but I legitimately try to offer advice and help people, but when they say they don't need help and the games fucked etc I have zero interest in helping them, so like I said, enjoy your choppy 50 FPS. I'll enjoy my buttery smooth gameplay on the same hardware without issues.
the game is poorly optimized. For that kind of settings I expected it would run and look much better when i bought the game...Seems like developers still have a lot of work to do
The game is always going to need further optimisations, every game does, until the most recent update performance was better than it had ever been, the recent update has caused some unintended issues but they already released a hot fix which sorted the major issues. Even with the performance hit from the latest update I still get over double the frame rate compared to HLL running at the same resolution, I haven't had any performance issues at all and running anything at 5120x2160 at anything above 60FPS is pretty insane so I'd say its nowhere near as poorly optimised as you might think, it definitely was a mess, but not anymore. There is still optimisations to be done, and they are happening, I'm also thinking you haven't played the game for a long time, because with the graphics overhaul this game looks insane. If you haven't tried it recently, go download it and give it another crack, You might be surprised at the recent improvements.
@@Azza-25 I mean, yeah, I agree with that. Maybe because I don't have a top tier PC, but I am still a little bit disappointed on how it runs on mine. Surprisingly, HLL runs better for me and even with High or Medium settings I can enjoy the game unlike Squad 44. Thank you for the reply, tho
@@domen906 No worries at all, I will be dropping a new video soon which will be a more straight forward guide on how to optimize the graphics for high, mid and low end systems. I am just waiting on the next patch to fix the unintended bugs from the update before I put that out. I did quiet a bit of testing on my old PC and got this game running pretty well on ancient hardware so I think I can help a few people out there. Cheers
I feel like you might struggle with a 1050ti, I tested a 1070ti in my other PC and that managed to hold 60FPS at 1080p with some settings turned down, but it was really at it's limit I think.
@@necromancy6704 Yeah if your CPU is as old as your GPU that is probably more what's holding you back, I mean the 1050 is never gonna be great but if changing your graphics settings makes no difference to performance, it usually means that you are CPU bottlenecked, not always but that's a pretty good way to think about it. I'm sure there will be improvements soon that help people with hardware like yourself, I have found up to 20% reduction in performance at times with the most recent update, for people starting at 60FPS they cant afford to lose 20% of their performance. I have complete faith that the devs will figure it out and bring us bettter performance in the future, they have said that optimisation is a big thing moving forwards for them and I know that they only recently set up profiling tools to try and pin point potential areas for improvement. I think they have delivered on everything else they have promised so I reckon give it a month or two and hopefully we get some sort of massive performance update. Hopefully it doesn't take to long so you can get back out there soon.

NIS according to the original devs "is for OLDER GPUs"(pre 10series). If you have a new GPU (10 series +), Turn NIS OFF!
What immediately did it for me was putting it on fullscreen, idk what caused it to run at a lower resolution with borderless but that fixed it. Thanks!
Going from fXAA to TAA alone solved 95% of my graphics issues.
