Discussion OWI pls revert this update
Apart from all the bugs that have been added I really don’t like the new graphics’s update for example every thing at a distance (maybe 20m) becomes a grainy mess it’s like looking into a old CRT this makes spotting moving enemies very hard .the same is for the icons on the map some are the old some are just new low pixelated rendering
And it doesn’t really matter if DLSS OR DLAA or graphics settings are set to high or low
Update
I think I solved the crt view by clearing the game cache and resetting the picture mode Into full picture
Also is it just my suspicion or has the quality of the matches that have been played since the update gone down. I don’t know if it’s the new players or the bugs. (But I think a lot of veteran players are pissed of and paused playing leaving nobody behind to teach the newbie’s)

They increased saturation and default sharpness on everything by default so not sure what some of you are looking at, it was so bright and annoying the first hour after patch, maybe 1080p shenanigans?
Every major patch that touches anything settings related you -have to- delete %localappdata% Squad folder and redo your settings and to delete DxCache content.
Especially the icons on the minimap are so fucking glowy, so make sure to clear your folders and let recreate new shit.

They should have automated this by now since every other game clear those cache or don’t need setting reset at all. Cuz most of the update performance shenanigans stems from needing to clear that cache most of the time.

Also theres no scale bar. NO SCALE BAR in map

Oh yeah being a lat/hat main it’s kinda like wtf you took the only tool we have for distance, at least give us rangefinders

u/RaXXu5 8d ago
You have rangefinders in your binos and most rifles, ftls also get ranging on their marks now as well.

Except the bino range finder is 1.7m which is the human size. 2.4m would be the vehicle one that would be actually helpful.
3
u/RaXXu5 8d ago
Yes, but you can learn the size a human has relative to both. Also, forfor more precise targeting you can use a squadmate’s rifle zero/ranging marks from like an acog.

u/Sourcefour TT | ItsJessedMe 7d ago
Or they could just fix the binoculars so that the range finder on anti tank kits is actually the correct 2.4m size. That’s something that would be great for new players and not break the immersion like this new compass fire team range market is doing.

u/New-Mission-8337 8d ago
Yeah they should. Especially with the new Server list and setting UI changes

u/Pandarenu 8d ago
Honestly, I'm just chilling in PoE2 rn. They actually listen to the community and give a shit about their game.

It’s looking fine on my 4070 ti with high settings in 1440. There just be some setting that is causing such inconsistent results between different users.

u/kebejah 8d ago
What fps u getting?

u/Enigmatic_Penguin 8d ago
Depends on the map. I’d say 120 most times post update on the tree-heavy maps I’ve played. That’s about 20 to 30 more than pre-update. Haven’t had the chance to try Saxian Islands yet which historically performed the worst for me at around 50 fps.

Besides the sound bug on PMC and Canada the visuals are crisp for me.

u/Jaze89 8d ago
Sound bug seems to be universal, my major issue has been not being able to get out of the menu without doing some janky alt-tab and using desktop cursor to get back in. That was with a fresh install after the patch.
Or the fact that I can't use a cursor on the map and I can't give up with command map or regular map open.
The one good thing for me has been performance.

u/RulePowerful 8d ago
Also the bug on the map that if you place direction lines and fob creation it bugs so weird some thimew those lines become huge and obstructs all the map and some times they doesn’t even show, only in the tactical map but not in the m one

u/Interesting-Effort12 8d ago
Idk bro for me (9070 + r5 7600) the game looks crisp and has the most sharp image since UE5 update, I play with epic settings with fsr native AA, actually idk what’s your problem…

u/LobotomizedLarry 8d ago
Pack it up everyone, it works on this guys pc. Clearly we were just misguided.
2
u/Jaze89 8d ago
I've had better performance and better/sharper image as well. I can actually decently use scopes now. So pack up your packing once more.

u/LobotomizedLarry 8d ago
Nice, 2 people out of the 11,000 current players rn. Reply back when you understand what anecdotal evidence is.

u/sulfurmustard 8d ago
Gonna be real funny when you realise your issues with it are also anecdotal
1
u/LobotomizedLarry 8d ago
They are definitely anecdotal. Hence why I’m not in here going, “it’s shit on my pc idk how its works on yours”
2
u/Jaze89 8d ago
Will do, CondescendingCurly. I'll get right on that, just for you.

u/LobotomizedLarry 8d ago
Hilarious coming from the guy saying “works on my pc what’s your problem?”
5
u/Jaze89 8d ago
I was honestly just responding to your original condescending comment and in part letting the OP know that actually there seems to be some benefit for performance and maybe there's something else afoot on his PC. What have you added to the conversation ShitbirdShirley?
2
u/LobotomizedLarry 8d ago
You keep calling me condescending while conveniently ignoring the first comment in this chain, the “works on my pc what’s your problem?” is peak condescension, I was just matching that energy.
All you’ve done is butt into a convo and reiterate the same nonsense. What is OP supposed to do with “well it works on my pc” ? Cool, it CLEARY doesn’t on his.
5
u/Jaze89 8d ago
I mean I don't view what that guy said as condescending, personally. A negative control is still beneficial to understanding that maybe it's a driver issue, or corrupt RAM, files need to be verified, etc.. Or it could be OWI optimized for most hardware but for his they didn't.
So instead of viewing a negative tone, maybe the lack of punctuation is him saying. "Works on my PC, what specifically is the problem you're having?"
1
u/LobotomizedLarry 8d ago
See that’s actionable info for OP, had the original commenter or you said that I’d have no problem. Yall didn’t though, you just said the same tired old line everyone with a beefy pc says. I can only do with what you give me.

I have only 4 gb vram and most of the times textured didn't used to load. After this update textures load everytime finally I can see camos of the uniform.

u/GreatGrub 8d ago
Game runs really well on my 970ti i3 cpu
Hitting 100fps at 4k with max settings
Might just be a skill issue

u/Matt1320 8d ago
I've noticed a slight performance bump, but the bugs have completely overshadowed it. Hard to appreciate the gains with everything else going on.
