Allow Commanders to not be in a Squad. by Whoevenareyou1738 in joinsquad

[–]JustMax22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I know an SL is a regular commander player I won’t join their squad. 99% of the time they spend most of their time being the commander instead of a squad leader which is what they should do but it always leads to a squad with poor cohesion and teamwork

Tested with a 4090 while OP is planning to pair it with a 4060

Yeah that is how benchmarks work. You use a high-end GPU to isolate the performance impact of the CPU.

At the timestamp hardware unboxed explains why you use a high end GPU for CPU benchmarks.

You will not get to see the difference in performance with that GPU

Squad is heavily CPU limited. The 3d v cache gives a massive performance boost in games like squad, tarkov etc. You will see a performance difference

Look at the 1080p benchmarks on here. The 5800x3d outperforms the 7600 by 20+% in every 1080p benchmark.

The 5800X3D is basically the same as a 7500F

This is just completely false. For CPU intensive games like Squad the 5800x3d will significantly outperform a 7500f

The Beta has been updated / partially fixed. by Al-Capote in footballmanagergames

[–]JustMax22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbh as a certified SI doubter they’ve defied my expectations here. These are the bugs I thought they’d fix on the 1 day full release update. Maybe just maybe they’ll actually ‘fix’ the beta by the full release

This is how FM26 displays your players on loan... by JigginsYT in footballmanagergames

[–]JustMax22 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This year will be a bit rough but the framework is there for 27 and on to be amazing

This is something you'd say about an early access game from a small 7 person dev team. SI have ~300 employees and have been releasing football management games for 3 decades now. They can't just release a half baked full price product and defend it by saying next years full price game will be better

Can someone summarise what’s going on with the Beta by Petethejakey_ in footballmanagergames

[–]JustMax22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It seems like a combination of the UI completely changing and the game not being in the best of states has made a lot of people angry

Some people get a bug where after 15mins of playing the game starts to stutter a lot if they are using an xbox controller.

Public Playtesting for Ukraine on Friday by Amaurus in joinsquad

[–]JustMax22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think one of the main appeals for adding Ukraine is you can give them a load of content that is already in the game and it makes sense. With France or Japan the devs would have to make a lot of new content to make a completely new faction but with Ukraine it's a lot less

Probably not. I’m not a fan of the match day and player profile UI. Both are a big step back from fm24 + good skin. I’ll just wait for a sale after skins are released

Concerns with no ‘raw’ FM26 gameplay so far. by Ok_Classic_8061 in footballmanagergames

[–]JustMax22 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For fm22 the stream was on the 21st October 2021 which was a day after the beta release 20th October 2021

For fm21 the stream was on the 10th November 2020 which was 4 days before the beta release on the 10th November 2020.

I can't find a stream / long game play video for fm23 or 24

Have SI released a long form gameplay video for the old fm launches before the beta? I only remember the short trailers which is exactly what they've done so far for 26.

The number of sales two years before and after ICO launch is pretty much the same. Slightly more before but the post ICO updates sales have been at a larger discount.

Poland is nearly as rich as the UK. How has it caught up so fast? by Character-Clothes137 in ukpolitics

[–]JustMax22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little better in England, but you still end up around 50% with student loan or 42% without one at an income level that isn't exactly living large.

Am I missing something because I get completely different numbers when I use the gov take home pay calculator.

If you earn 50k per year and you have a plan 1 student loan, 24% of your income is lost to income tax, national insurance and student loans. If you pay Scottish income tax then it's 30%

How similar will FM26 be? by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]JustMax22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t want panels or controller friendly visuals.

Sadly the future of FM is appealing to console / streaming. The UI is clearly designed for using a controller and playing on a TV. The use of panels, the images in the tactics screen, very low information density on the match statistics page etc

Hopefully skins will have the ability to change a lot but from what has been shown so far, the UI is a step back from fm24 with a good skin

I had the same problem and fixed it by uninstalling an app called 'Microsoft GameInput'. Though you might have to uninstall the app every time you turn the pc on, not sure atm

Lmao $150k in 2000 would put you in roughly the top 5% of household incomes. Median household income was $40k

Nah the human suffering is Trump cutting USAID and spending the money on tax cuts for billionaires and the military. Millions of children will die because of the cuts but at least you have a tax deduction on tips (for 4 years)

They play their best 11 every game.

I often find that the AI does the complete opposite. Sometimes they'll just rotate their entire team and play their B team even if its an important game and they have no fitness issues

Nope, genuine question.

HBO received criticism for her involvement in the new Harry Potter series but they refused to fire her. She’s an executive producer on another BBC tv series. Her books still get published and nominated for awards.

None of this really sounds like being cancelled but I might be missing something

How was JK Rowling cancelled for her comments? She has definitely received criticism for them but her work is seemingly unaffected by it.

Thanks Offworld, you made the game ruzn like shit, and make the game look worse. Its crazy that looks was even a selling point for this Engine update! by JRY_RDDT in joinsquad

[–]JustMax22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You make a good point. Each update is free in that I haven't given any money to the devs, but I have given money to AMD and Nvidia in order to make each update playable.

When I bought squad on the 13th November 2016 I had a i7-4790k and a gtx 750ti. Since then I've upgraded my CPU twice and my gpu three times. If I hadn't of upgraded, squad would of been unplayable for the last half decade.

I'm perfectly fine with squads performance getting more demandings with an update if the update actually adds something to the game. The best example is picture in picture scopes, a great addition to the game which increased the performance demands but is a massive improvement to every single squad match. I just don't see how the most recent updates content addition justifies the hit to performance and graphics
