Hey Moidawg! I'm the new Community Manager for Squad. There were a couple of reasons for the delay.
1. I inherited an incomplete Q&A that had been started before I joined the team, I did what I could in the space of a week to get something together!
2. We said in a couple of places in the Q&A doc, that we have some other communications planned for the near future that meant paring down the Q&A was a better option for us, to save these bigger beats to their own announcements etc.
Sorry that you felt the Q&A was awful. And for anyone mentioning Optimization, I have talked about it a little bit in the official Discord, but optimization of Squad is going to be something that the team will be striving for, every update where it's possible. In hindsight, we could have included even a small bit about that in the Q&A.
Anyway, nice to officially 'meet', I've been a watcher for years.
^Ceeg
Looking forward to seeing what you can do now that you're here officially and settled. As you can tell, we're excited for more information!
when are you guys gonna fix the game? ICO SUCKS
"ico succcksss1111!!!!" okay then dont play the game, ths overhaul is here to stay and if you dont enjoy it your free to go to arma
@@combinetheelite it’s here to stay huh? Weird because global escalation is what the ico should of been, you keep licking the devs boots who rushed a major update to the game in less then 5 months 💀 you smell of boot licker my good sir
The game just needs the present bugs to fixed and graphical optimazition and it will be absolutely perfect.
They need to do a vehicle combat overhaul before even thinking of adding stuff like thermals. That just seems OP as hell.
my wishlist for a VCO:
- give vehicle a real damage model (crew and componets get damaged by spalling, more damagible components modeled) bassicly war thunder
- add thermals,
- add realistic fire control systems, i.e gunner/command desinates a target and the balstic computer take into account realitve speed and direction of both the target and your vehicle as well as distance to produce a fire solution, you just pull the trigger.
- fix massive hitboxes on tracks (they should probobley just do this anyway)
war thunder has made plentley of dev blogs for the changes they implimented over the years so they can start there
@@tirushone6446 Good wishlist just wait 2 or 3 years and we will be there.
@@tirushone6446 I'm just worried about how they'll be able to optimize all that crap. I want it really bad, but the game already struggles with optimization.
@@tirushone6446 also add realistic ballistics for vehicles to make em more balanced with thermals and that fire control system where shells wont hit dead on the crosshair
@@tirushone6446 Issue with a WT-style damage model is that armor won't be able to get within 500m of infantry without getting insta-gibbed by HATs, it's already an extremely risky move to actually support infantry on a lot of layers.
Unless they are saying "we are focusing on extensive optimization" I don't want to hear it
okay I am glad it's not just me that thinks that, I have a top of the line cpu and 4070 and squad eats that shit up, it's kinda crazy considering that the game doesn't even use any crazy graphics tech or distruction or anything
Right there with you, I'm so sick of dying to desync with the delayed audio, or a second after getting behind cover.
Absolutely. Optimization needs to happen yesterday, long before anything else gets reworked.
Seriously new content is fine. But there is plenty of content in the game. But widespread terrible performance.
ever since ico. half the time you ADS you drop from 100fps to 30 lol..
The funniest thing was at the beginning of the Q&A post, it stated "We have taken the time to select ten (10) questions to answer." They emphasized the 10 and then proceeded to post 9 questions.
-OWI, can we make 12 questions to you?
-11 Questions? Why would you ask 10 questions? Here are 9 and be happy about it.
Squad devs are like "I got plans that I can't share with you right now because the haters will sabotage me"
before the ICO, i wanted new factions, but now I just want optimization because I can't run the game anymore... 😢
Same, I don’t give a single damn about newer factions anymore, all I care about is Optimization
Switch to directx 11 ingame it helps a lot with fps
@@BlackWolf9988 Are you sure? Maybe less black screens, but I don´t think it´s better in anyway. Good CPU = Direct X 12.x
@@daniellundin8543 the game is badly optimized no matter, for me on directx 12 the game pretty regularly went below 10-20 fps especially on certain maps like black coast. With directx 11 i rarely goes below 30-40 fps usually only during arty. There is also a couple friends and people online who can confirm it.
Really? I get more frames now. PIP scopes does drop it by 5-10fps but that's just with scopes and even then it's still on par with my frames before the ICO.
I think what the question about the laser range finder, was mostly referencing the FCS present in modern vehicles, which basically runs a laser range finder through a balistic computer to automatically adjust the gun to the range, windage, and atmospheric conditions allowing for accurate targeting at extremely long range. Although clearly this was not picked up by the devs.
Considering how they think stabilization works I'm somehow not surprised. If you don't know what I'm talking about, try turning any tracked vehicle in the opposite direction of where you're trying to move the turret. You literally cannot move the turret unless you turn STA off.
@@Raptorsified wym just use arrow keys for fast rotation? plenty of problems but that's not one i've ran into.
@@Raptorsified Dude I thought I thought I was the only one that noticed how awful STAB is
@@Raptorsified The stabilization is quite awful, I mean really in my opinion all armor needs to be reworked. The current armor model does not reflect that of real life at all. I think it would make sense, if they are going to give tanks thermals that the tanks also have their real vulnerabilities. Real sized ammoracks, components, etc.. that can be damaged to balance it out.
No performance related questions? I find it hard to believe no one asked about that. I upgraded my PC to a 7800X3D and 7900 XTX thinking I would have a perfectly smooth experience, but the game still stutters randomly in many scenarios
thinking of upgrading to the same set-up, how much FPS do you get on what settings?
I have a 4090 and game still runs like garbage.
@@LIGHTSxv fps
@@ArturShow132 I'm on 1440p ultrawide and get like 90-120fps. But it's not stable or consistent and still is stuttery regardless.
5600x and i had no stutters til last patch. cleared cache and still random millisecond stutters at completely random times, unrelated to gpu/cpu load. fps is great 99% of the time but the stutters can happen looking at a wall on a server with 3 people on.
It took them over 5 weeks to answer 9 questions that they made up themselves (which defeats the purpose of a Q&A) and it's so sloppy that they didn't even bother to count the number of questions they answered (the post says they selected 10 questions to answer).
So what quit spazzing about irrelevant bullshit.
@@user-tx3xy7lw6w So what, it shows how committed they are to fucking quality, it also shows in game
Happy to hear they have no plans on ending support for the game.
Would have loved to see at least a hint at what faction(s) are upcoming, perhaps a word on new features like attack helicopters, shotguns, AA roles, etc.
What ever happened to the T-90 and BMP-3 they talked about being added years ago?
Thermals haven't yet been done right in a game and they've been unbalanced as a result. Terrain temperature has always been cold, heat radiance has never existed, digital zoom has never been properly introduced (apart from tarkov maybe?) and the result is that you can always identify a target. Thermal is great in that you can see a target a long way away through brush or whatever, but identifying friend from foe can become difficult without context, because you can be looking at single digital pixels and dealing with contrast issues in hot areas.
Also worth noting that each answer used to have someone associated with it, but this Q&A has noone, so it's probably all done by the community management side of things with very little dev input aside from the basics
Yeah people rarely take the time to understand what "thermal" optics really even are. You're not actually looking "through" a scope like most people imagine, you're looking at the output of an infrared sensor that is essentially printing it's readings out on a screen.
Actually using real IR optics is pretty difficult if you haven't had some level of instruction.
Not to mention that stuff like glass, aluminum, spotlights, IR spotlights, ambient temp/heat haze off of asphalt etc. Realistically pose a problem to the use of thermals.
They could balance it's range or give it delay from normal vision
What about in Gunner, HEAT, PC?
Structures like the insurgent tire fire would be very effective against vehicles equipped with thermal cameras. If more things that produced a LOT of heat and light were introduced, it would be a good way for infantry to distract or blind the thermal vehicles.
handheld flares maybe?
After the new voting system I think I have only played turkey 1 time. So I think some tweaks are in order.
They need to buff turkey
In Mech Warrior Online every time you lose a vote during a game session on either map or game type you get an additional (+1) vote for that category up to 3 for that session until you win a vote, then it resets
They could stick that in Squad
All I play is armored divisions. 3 tanks vs 3 tanks. If you don't choose an armored division you might as well leave that server bc you are not winning.
Yes, burning hot questions the whole community has been wondering like “when are we getting a TOW rework” or “when we getting player progression?”
If they plan to add more helicopters the tows need some work since you are not really supposed to be able to hit a moving helicopter with that. AA missiles and flares are for that.
@@R3BootYourMind historically though TOW has been used as both an air defence and air attack weapon
The lack of questions about anti air emplacements/manpads, attack helos and the Javelin launcher is telling. I really want guided HAT kits to even the odds against thermal sights on tanks and IFVs
I couldn't agree more, it barely gave us any informationa and barely adddresed performance which is one of the biggest problems
Vehicles need an overhaul,
ERA working, more accurately modelled armour, so hull down positions would be viable, open tops being able to duck, commanders and open top gunners being able to get out of their hatch and use their primary weapon for close range defence, something owi, pls
I've got worries with the thermals, I remember what they were like in Steel Division, and while they were really cool, they were also very very powerful and I can't help but be concerned with balance.
maybe make it so they can only be used for a small amount of time and that they have a cool down.
Like how some systems overheat (same with laserrangefinders which used to overheat when used more often)
if they balance thermals by making them blurry. it would be somewhat unrealistic if they are too blurry. but it would be a good way to balance them like in ghpc
Steel division the WW2 RTS has thermals? Or is there another steel division
Maybe make it so that it's available to object specifically to observes? E.g commander drones, MBT's commander cam.
Maybe even add it to less powerful vic like the Stryker M240 or that one british IFV that fires soooo slow
ya i don't want thermals without major limitations. gunners shouldn't get them, too op. commander cam should sure, but not the gunner. if they are going to make vics even stronger, they need to make them more complex to use. vics should require serious communication to be as powerful as they are. would make being in a non-gunner position way more fun.
I would take a guess that when it came to the thermal and laser range finder question they meant the ballistic computer that modern MBTs have that can take the info from the laser range finder and then auto adjust the gun to the set range, and even set the lead on a target. (this question was likely from a War Thunder player, as in game the ballistic computer module is just bundled with the laser range finder module)
It would be so cool if there could be a list in the end of a match to show how many vehicles and radios etc. was destroyed (and by whom).
I'd love to see a tally on how many you have destroyed in total during your whole playtime of squad.
Honestly need a mandatory bootcamp mode going over game modes and basic tactics and need to know shit before going into a match. Fix the dam new player/rando problems before any more bells and whistles. People not playing obj and communicating are ruining the game far more than any part/mechanic of the actual game
This, the game straight up unplayable during game sales.
WORD!
I think that the bit about the laser rangefinders for the MBTs and IFVs is that when a target is laser rangefinded the gun elevation will automaticly set itself to score a hit.
The ATGM rework was mentioned in the last QA and its been a topic ever since the Javelin was teased since it relates to having fire and forget missiles
OWI fumbling again? couldnt be true.... not like its happening for the last few years, only good thing was ICO
I think what was meant by "adding laser-rangefinder" was a real laser rangefinder that immediately sets the sight up to the range. Like in modern MBTs (T-72B3M, M1A2 Abrams, Leopard 2A4/5/6, etc.) where you lase your target, the scope automatically sets up the range and you fire.
That isn't a lazer range finder, that is the fire control system that does this.
@@user-tx3xy7lw6w You are right.
This QnA reminds me of the movie scenes where the character who is shocked or frightened says "They're coming!" "They're Listening" "They're watching!" without actually clarifying who THEY are.
I think everyone missunderstood the laser rangefinder question. I think they were referring to a realistic laser rangefinder, in real life you dont center your tanks optic crosshair to measure range and adjust manually for the projectiles fall off. Im sure they meant if theres ever gonna be rangefinders like in war thunder, GHPC, etc. A for real laser rangefinder.
if vicks are getting thermals they need to buff LAT and HAT stability. It takes forever to stabilize after moving even just a little.
also yeah this Q & A was probably the worst one ive ever seen in general tbh
I don’t know anything about OWI or Squad, but in my experience with these PR things, it’s usually someone from marketing or sales aggregating the questions. The list is sent over to the dev team manager (usually the night before lol) who in turn farms it out to the newer engineer or intern etc.
Is it possible for them to add a feature that requires a set amount of hours played in order to join a server or does that violate some terms of service
People would just afk the required hours
I kind of don't get why they even released a Q&A this month...doesn't seem like they had much to report.
UE5 programming will probably need an extensive rewrite, we have been looking into it in our sim we develop
Saying we have laser range finders without having being lazed on alerts on the tanks is kind of odd.
I’m very upset they have not said anything about performance or optimization. I think that making the game run the best it can should always be a priority of a developer. What’s the point of making a great game if no one can run it?
Looking at the pervious answers on the Q&A you showed it seems like they were written by the developers and this one (especially going by the pinned comment) was written by a "Community Manager" otherwise known as the most useless job in the gaming industry.
The only progression that I would support is some character customization that's unlocked like rising storm 2 vietnam, where the progression doesn't affect anything but some cosmetics of uniforms, like having a torn to shit uniform. Plus some weapon stats so you can see how bad a shot you are.
Plz no
Anyone have any idea on how much it would cost the devs to add in something like thermals? Or how long something like that will take to create?
I believe the LRF for vehicles was more oriented towards laz'ing the target and the fire control system automatically adjust the guns ballistics for it, like in real life.
If they do add thermals for vehicles, it would be cool to see it on the command seat, not on the gunner. Adds usability to a usually empty seat, adds more teamwork, and tones down the "overpoweredness" of a thermal gunner sitting miles away plonking at signatures. Adding a long range javelin or similar ones would be more than fine if vics get thermals, maybe with a large minimum range encouraging vics to close the distance.
this feels like an after thought. whoever was incharge of this QA was just not cared about or something fell through to make it a meaningful QA. UE5 squad would def would be siiick
I'd like a thermal scope for infantry
Maybe it's limited to a scout class that only has an iron site main weapon. I think it would encourage more teamwork as your squads scout can be identifying enemies for his team mates.
I think this q&a was alright, I think some of the vague topics you brought up specifically ue5 were a bit nit picky but for sure a vague q&a and no I didn't know they were doing a tow overhaul either. Another great vid 👍
The scope of questions they chose to answer lies within the desires of the developers. If they had it all figured out, it'd be in the game already. There is no more information.
Either way, 3 million times 50 = 150 million... chop chop OWI...
I hope they implement a real-time overview of troop movements, like from War Of Rights. -Even the campaign system that persists throughout the rounds would be incredible. At the very least; some better maps please.
I hope they work on the bug and makes your game constantly stutter that everyone gets. Edit yes lazerrange finders are in the game but a BIG feature of it isn’t here. You can laze a target hit a button and it will auto range you so you don’t have to compensate for drop bc it does it for you. The sole purpose of a laser range finder, not to just see the range but to also auto adjust your aim so it hits dead on.
Are there any private servers that run the game pre ICO?
Maybe they can add thermals that only show for vehicles and not infantry?
They said they want it to feel authentic though so they wont. My best guess is background heat that would make seeing heat signatures at long range a lot harder, or like moidawg said, new tank counters like guided at weapons or more powerful/better concealed mines
I have come to see that squad is a bit tanky meaning the vehicle spam is getting top tier which can be a bit annoying when playing infantry.
Wow I'm more confused after that Q&A then before. Would also bring some legitimacy to it if the users that asked those questions were listed like previous Q&As
Right now the only way to counter to armor is more armor. Infantry is utterly useless without an ammo box because if the hit point system for vehicles. There needs to be some kind of module/War Thunder-esque (I say esque bc WT isnt realistic lol) to balance tanks.
Glad to hear they are overhauling commander soon at least. Weve had the same 4 assets without any changes since alpha v0.17
Yes, Q&A* is open! We even had someone type out an answer in advance for optimization.
*We will only answer other questions if they are obscure one-offs, and we will only provide vague answers because we are scared of commitment.
just an ideaa , but since they added the new faction voting and sub factions, what if sub factions had specific commander assets, like logi card could call in a 2000-2000 supply drop on a fob, or where you want to build one.
Also in regard to the Q&A the questions didnt feel like real questions. felt like OW Just made the questions them self's because they couldn't give good answers to the real ones.
Had a game that it was turkey infantry vs Canada armor on a small map. We'll we all know turkey don't have a hat kit so the game was very one sided. Canada had 3 lavs and had nothing to worry about.
when are we getting night maps and nods
It's long past time IMHO to add night vision for infantry on night maps. The conventional factions could all be reasonably well matched. Some would say the insurgents and militia would be at a disadvantage but they don't have to be. Paramilitary groups in Iraq and Syria field a combination of commercial thermal and soviet era NVGs. Perhaps for realism they could make insurgent or militia night vision less prevalent (i.e. something for an SL or a specialist class) and add flares for example to offset.
I got 4090, everything top of the line. I get around 70fps with gpu and cpu both running at 25%. Tf? Squad optimalization is so bad it won't use the horsepower. When I play Darktide, full rtx, everything at max, 200-300 fps. My friends who don't have so much horsepower really struggle with squad.
if vehicles get thermals, at kits need a major buff as well, javelins, more ammo for rockets, less resupply cost, higher damage
the "tow-launcher rework" is the ATGM rework in general (they mentioned it a few times in the past)
Pretty much making some of them "smart" to a degree, allowing for stuff like javelins, stingers etc to properly work, target stuff automatically and no longer have every missle be "a projectile that follows the middle of the screen"
iirc also more "realistic" stuff like the kornet flying in a proper spiral, allowing tow's for top attack etc
They should add AA missiles and flares in the same rework.
Yes I remember when TOWs were a hot topic for a while.
@@R3BootYourMind there was indeed 1 test where the CaS helis did have flares and "anti air launcher" role icon has been in the files forever, but given even cas helos arent even in yet, dont get your hopes up
Do you mean "Add Fire And Forget class weapons"?
I though VRAM was Video Random Access Memory.. But that old answer from the devs 12:20 it says Virtual RAM (VRAM).. I mean not a great start to an answer of any kind unless i'm just unaware that people also call it virtual RAM..
In the past when I have seen people talking about virtual RAM it has been about allocating normal hard drive space to be used as RAM when your actual RAM storage is not enough. Not sure if there is a correct definition. I think they just meant video.
What squad needs is a full on replay system. Would not only close the game loop but also force multiplying content creators
I don't recognize any of these questions from the thread. Very disappointing
I can understand being vague since if you’re specific people will whine later on about “what happened to this?” when it ended up not being a good fit. But also why even do the q&a then?
how about not losing 30 fps when you scope in? how about not losing your entire kit in middle of a map since Ahole squad leader decides to kick you? maybe fix these.
This game has unlimited potential. I feel it can beat even BF with good optimalization and keeping the updates as they are now.
Players want a live service game level of support with a game getting updates for years, but without the live service part…
They cannot continue working on the game for years if they don’t have more revenue streams
Vehicles get stuck too easy ,can't they do something about that.Also a Vehicle damage overhaul would be nice too but i guess im asking too much 😞.
4:50 I think the person means acutal laser rangefinders
like press a button it lases and then auto corrects for range
SquadV mod has it and works perfectly fine
Had no idea about the tow rework, had the same reaction haha
Yeah, why did they stop sharing who asked the questions and who answered them?
Because the entire Q&A is fabricated, they don't listen to the community they want new players and new money. I wouldn't be surprised if this article is so poor as to generate buzz. Then we they release some absolutely mediocre, poorly thought out, optimized, and implemented update, they will be seen as heroes
Oh shoot that was my question at the end
To me this was just acknowledging that these things aren't forgotten so people would stop pestering them about it. No real news, but sometimes that is the most honest answer?
5:17 I think maybe the question was more about the lazer auto zero
All I know is that they would rather add three Chinese factions rather than update the existing factions; the British Armed Forces faction is stuck using unstabalized warriors IFVs and slow FV432 APCs even though they've been replaced with AJAX and BOXER platforms, on top of giving the british the 330 Puma helicopter was a stupid idea considering its the oldest of all the in-service UK helicopters and also has its replacement, even in the old Project Reality game they gave the BAF the Lynx helicopter which was a much smarter choice.
Kinda new coming from Arma... just wondering... what's the opinion of potential AI implementation in Squad?
All I want is the end of these goddamn stutters. They say it's a network sync issue Squad has. Also the optimization is awful, low fps+stutters make me alt-f4 instantly.
hehe the Tow launcher rework. Of course. Yeah idk its weird that its such a short list and all of the questions feel very... handpicked.. but I mean in any community you have those people that ask the same questions that were already answered or some silly pot dream questions like the Unity 5 one.
Squad has a lot of potential to be better and we’re here for their support but they need to be up front with the community
To be fair, I don't think they have a plan
They might have a lot of ideas, but no plan to make them true
Player count took a dip this weekend, see if that continues up to June for 1 year anniversary of ICO.
Playercount is fine
The player count is way better than it was before ICO.
Optimization please. Squad44 had a recent optimization patch. Maybe yall should learn something from them.
10:38 this is my problem with the Squad development, the devs flip flop between Realism and not. They say they want to make the game as realistic as possible with TOW mechanics and thermals but when it comes to my fully trained soldier being unable to hold a gun correctly after walking a few steps they say “oh its NOT supposed to be realistic, thats just for immersion”
YES THIS, THANK YOU!!!
this QA felt like speaking too a brick wall lol
It’s crazy how far this game has fallen.
Yet the player base has only increased
@@allaansnackbar4269 Yup. And it really shows when you see the level of teamplay on many servers, which is sometimes close to 0. 5K hours, I'm slowly lowering my playing time every week after playing this game almost everyday for years. Many games are just a clown show, even on TPF's servers, just like OWI for the past year. Can't wait to see Squad climbing to 20k daily players with tons of non-sens new features, it will be probably more entertaining to watch future Moi's videos than playing the game itself.
@@gomme1298 The ICO was the final straw I haven't played since that was implemented.
Thermals is what killed inf vs vehicle balance on BF4, it made killing inf extremely easy with no real counter except for flares that nobody used.
I miss squad from 2016-2017 when things were simple
and playable
Same I haven’t played since they dropped the new game mechanics
When the game was good
Commendations should be player lead. End of match voting for awards
Reload Bug are still happening even it already said Fixed by Dev.
What we need is a vehicle rework
by the time squad updates to ue5, ue6 will be out, mark my words
These were really awful. Right now the vehicles need a rework, PLA Marines need some kind of an identity, and the ICO needs some more tweaking especially with some of the ARs, and most importantly we need optimisation. For Tanks, a warthunder system is the logical step forward, the PLA Marines feel like the PLA but blue, and I just learned that there is a PLA Amphibious faction? Like what was the point? For the ARs, I understand they don't want people doing full auto run and gun. However these guns are designed so that they can deliver multiple rounds down range in full auto while being easier to transport and more accurate.
HAB/FOB rework is needed. Below is something I have been championing for along time. The dumb proxy mechanic is just dumb. The Q+A was a was of time reading it.
---- below is something i'm constantly saying.
PCAT, a long time Squad player told me his idea for proxy mechanic that beat my own idea of reworking proxy mechanic.
PCAT said proxy should depend on the number of allies vs number of enemies within a certain range (I'll add here should be a closer to HAB range than it currently is). For example I'd there are 3 allies nearby and 2 enemies nearby, HAB should NOT deactivate. If there are 2 allies nearby and 3 enemies nearby the HAB should deactivate. I believe his thought was that this could potentially allow for on cap or very very close to cap HABs the ability to be successful without being overpowered. This would lead to better back and forth game play and chances for OUT PLAYING the enemies.
My idea wasn't as well thought out. I propose removing proxy all together but making the HABs easier to knock the roofs off as the balance. Example combat engineers should have the easier time taking the roof of themselves with explosives or AT hitting it with rocket. Armor should have the easiest time like an MBT should be able to 1 shot HABs to stakes. 50Cal for a certain amount should also remove the roof.
Both ideas at the heart of it gives more power to HABs, which will lead to less building and replacing of lost HABs. There is a better balance of game play to them as well. Especially now that we move much slower.
Other community members should think of other ideas as well.
Also combat engineers explosives could also be able to one shot radios, but give longer bleed out timers.(This last idea I just thought of and haven't let it cook in my head enough so don't get hung up on this).
they must add the automatic adjustment of gun sights on far targets instead of rising the gun like noobs in game
I know squad is more complicated but warthunders armor has fully finctioning systems, squad has been out forever now
Need to be able to dig trenches with the shovel.
What I would love to see is the vietnam mod someday
"Wow this is absolutely worthless" meme in this Q&A. Holy shit
gameplay is good but the game runs like such hot garbage, its clunky , its rubber bandy-- just feels awful.
Progression is DUMB unless it’s purely aesthetics. Why would you want gameplay relevant content locked behind a time wall? I don’t understand some gamers’ need for a dopamine hit for overcoming this artificial scarcity. Games with no progression are some of the best in history: Halo, Counter Strike, and yeah, Squad. No progression, please. Everyone should be able to get into the game and learn to master the role they want to play from the beginning of their ‘Squad career.’
Optimize the damn game. Random fps stutter for no reason only in sqad.
