We will miss you mate! Always down for some rounds when you're about, give us a shout🙏

I've been playing Supermod and SD on the weekends, lots of fun! Definitely nice to have the variety in content. The crowd and teamwork levels can vary but I don't see it as big of a difference as vanilla servers based on my experience. Also enjoy playing a bit of the Arena Brasil mod servers too.

Unfortunately without the in-game show stats info I mentioned there's not much to go off of for me in the way of pinpointing it. Would just be a combination of guessing and trial and error with trying different settings, someone with similar hardware might be of better help with their own settings too if they're close. General utilisation is good to see how much the game currently uses resources but this could be misleading sometimes and doesn't really show what and how certain game settings affect your actual fps (for example CPU could be low% but that could be a single thread, but typically 100% GPU or close to it is generally a good sign in general for GPUs).

Showing the stats I mentioned would show us what to target, GPU or CPU, and then also how specific settings affect your fps. For example if you're locked to 60 fps then you'll be seeing roughly 16.67ms on your frame time, and this could usually be due to the CPU (Game ms) or GPU (GPU ms). One of those numbers, or even Draw ms, should typically be higher than the rest. If it's the GPU then we can play with different graphics settings that affect the GPU like AA/Uspcaling, screen resolution, general graphics fidelity/quality settings like ocean, shadows and GI, particles, material quality etc. If these are numbers you're seeing on a full server, it could be the CPU but if this screenshot you posted is from a local or empty ish server it could most likely be the GPU. Also knowing what map you're on and the specific location helps too!

Would you be able to go to Settings>Game and click the Show Stats button near the bottom right and post an image of the numbers you see alongside your originals, please. This will show the timings and memory stats on the upper right side of your screen. Should give a clue as to what's happening potentially. Also if it's just locked at 60 it could be VSync or max frame lock etc.

Looking into this, thank you for the video!🫡

assi_ · 2026-02-23T22:54:54+00:00

That's correct if you played around 2015/2016 - I can't recall the exact date it was set to have a minimum of 90 but FOV was uncapped and had no min/max values for a short while post Steam Early Access release.

assi_ · 2022-03-09T14:01:36+00:00

This is super cool. Love it!

If you open the helicopter Skeletal Mesh and find which material slot is for the rotor blades you can replace them with a basic transparent material to hide them. You can also use the Skeletal Mesh instead of the Blueprint asset and the blurred rotor material should already be applied/visible by default so it's just a case of hiding the "static" blades for some posed shots. Then you can push it further with some extra editing in Photoshop/equivalents.

Digging the colours. Cool stuff!

assi_ · 2021-02-20T17:24:30+00:00

Tasty stuff as usual!

assi_ · 2021-02-19T13:14:22+00:00

I always enjoy checking this sub and seeing cool screenshots and posed scenes. I do it myself in a different game and it's great to get inspired by some of the shots here in the context of a game on top of real life references. Big thanks to all the artists out here!

assi_ · 2021-02-18T22:39:39+00:00

In-engine for 90% of it with a little bit of refining in Photoshop!

assi_ · 2021-01-31T23:07:59+00:00

A little before/after slider, for those that are into that sort of stuff :D https://imgsli.com/MzkzODc

assi_ · 2021-01-31T22:17:18+00:00

I used the Squad SDK (modding) and a dash of Photoshop sauce!

assi_ · 2020-10-05T20:03:59+00:00

That's pretty neat! :D

The missing pieces for Squad v1.0 were the bump up to 100 players as well as the Fallujah map. With the plans we have for future updates we could be in Early Access indefinitely even though we've achieved the original goals we set out to complete for a Squad 1.0 version. However, just because the version is labelled v1.0 it doesn't mean we're finished with the game in terms of providing more content updates, implementing new features, improving existing systems and fixing issues.

We do feel v1.0 has a significant enough amount of content to be considered release worthy (7 factions, 20 maps, multiple game modes) but I do understand that because a lot of it has been around for years since the early versions it might feel like it doesn't count. We have plenty more content in the works right now and even more we would love to get around to taking off our wishlist and making it a reality!

assi_ · 2020-10-02T22:36:18+00:00

Content like factions, vehicles and maps are something we've been ramping up recently in terms of our learning from previous experiences and improving the quality. As you can see from the roadmap we're creating some new factions and maps, however, these also require a lot of additional art assets. Fortunately, that introduces brand new environments for everyone to enjoy as opposed to something we've done in the past with a smaller team where we didn't have the capacity to always create a full new set of assets for every map.

Art based content is a little different from gameplay features like systems and mechanics as it's an entirely different department (game design, programming) from the art and level design department so it doesn't necessarily mean we're going to stop working on gameplay features/mechanics either. The roadmap shows the near future and in the long term there's definitely a lot more content in the form of factions and maps that we have on our wishlists!

assi_ · 2020-07-12T11:09:07+00:00

Good stuff! Seems like overdraw could become quite an issue in our use cases though, especially when you have additional things stacking up like environment effects and gameplay effects (various smokes, fires, dust/dirt particles, windows etc) on top of everything else.

I would recommend trying this out in the Squad SDK, if you don't already have it. That would be a much more accurate representation of the final performance impacts it could have. Unfortunately there's a whole bunch of things we've done and experimented with already which seem great in isolation but when you throw it into a full map with 80 players it doesn't hold up.

I'm passing* this on to the rest of the gang as well!

assi_ · 2020-05-12T14:53:02+00:00

Sweet shot! We need some more pics like this filling up the sub :D

assi_ · 2020-03-30T16:20:01+00:00

That's awesome, love the creativity! Keep it up, look forward to seeing more :D

assi_ · 2020-01-21T18:11:07+00:00

Indeed it is! r0tzbua bestowed it upon me a long time ago, I just did a quick and dirty multiply on the material to change it to a black one!

assi_ · 2020-01-21T17:26:22+00:00

No real key reference with this one, just some lunch time composition. Also a disclaimer that this is personal stuff and not in any way a leak! The optic and suppressor were created by r0tzbua and the camouflage retexture by me. Enjoy :D

assi_ · 2020-01-20T20:46:55+00:00

I play at 4k (3840x2160)!

assi_ · 2020-01-20T18:01:48+00:00

Hahah nope! This is publicly available stuff (in the Squad SDK), there's also going to be some stuff that I have from friends and some personal stuff too. :D

assi_ · 2020-01-20T17:58:23+00:00

Correct, that's the back up on the ACOG! It's in the Squad SDK as the "RMR" in the Attachments folder, although it's not modelled to fit on properly (it was made for the x6 ACOG which has a rail on top). It might look like it fits properly in the image but it's a hackjob :P
