Please stay tuned to our webpage, forums and Steam community page for the latest.

Alpha 3.10 Changelog
- Fixed an issue where framerates were being capped incorrectly on some high end systems
- Fixed an issue where the some Militia members went to war without pants
- Fixed a server crash when using objects like ammo crates or FOBs
- Fixed a case when connecting to servers where you would recieve 'Connection to the host has been lost'. This doesn't fix it 100% of the time, but it is a massive improvement.
- Fixed a visual issue where the player count was incorrect over the Steam API
Please stay tuned to our webpage, forums and Steam community page for the latest.

Alpha 3.11 Changelog

- Fixed server browser showing 0 players

I have a 4790k and a 970. Both are OC'd but even at stock it was fine. AMD cards will do the job no problem. It's AMD cpus that have issues with the engine at the minute.
If you're referring to the comments on the Steam community forums then I've one thing to say... Stay away from there! It's a complete cesspool of trolls and god knows what else.
If you or your friends have have any questions then post them here and I'll tell you exactly how it is. Our biggest performance issue at the minute is still (apart from the AMD cpu issues that we're working with AMD and Epic to fix) the animation system. Currently all player animation states are sent to all players on the server even if they are not being rendered. When the player count starts creeping over 60 then the client will start to get bogged down.
Any peek preview of what's coming on this big patch coming for us ocuk members @xcept1?
I'll see if I can dig up anything for you tonight
Will be in once we get the new animation system in place which will be after anti-cheat and vehicles.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^hopefully auto join be in game
Should be able to use Steams auto join feature for that already.
We have redone the way server configs are done and added them to one central file. No longer do you need to ask yourself "What file should this go in?"
We also have changed the way admins are done. You now great groups with permissions and assign admins to those groups in a single admin file.
We also have a single ban file... But wait! that isn't all!!! You can now subscribe to other servers banlists!!! Manage a few servers and want them to all have the same bans? Just add the url in the config and it will load all those bans!
If all goes well with testing these should be out soon! So admins... we thank you for your patience while we worked on these features! This wont be all, we still have more in the works, but just wanted to give you guys a heads up.
What will be required is you will need to migrate all your bans over to a new format and a new file. You will also need to migrate over your admins and assign them new permissions. Stay tuned, as we get further into testing I will publish out the new format so you can start getting your migration ready!

Sorry, only just seen your post. I'm a huge fan of Arma and personally I think you can't compare Squad to Arma. There's no other game out there that can do the scope and the features that Arma does. If you're looking for the most realistic military simulator then Arma is your game to go for.
Having said that, PvP in Arma is pretty poor. Aside from the poor performance and poor VOIP, to get a decent match you normally have to be in an organised group or event. There's very little teamplay in the very few public A3 PvP servers.
With Squad you can simply hop into a server, join a squad and play large scale PVP with clear objectives with people who want to communicate (and can because our voip system isn't utter trash like Arma!) without any problems at all.
Here's a few quotes from people who have asked the same question.
