***Official Squad Thread***

Hello chaps!

The QA team will be hosting a public pre-release playtest tomorrow (Friday, March 11th) at 20.00 UTC. The purpose will be to do a stress test of the Alpha 5 release prior to it's launch, to help us catch any leftover crashes, bugs or issues we might have missed.

Please note that we will only have one server up, and access will be on a first come first serve basis. If the server fills up, we apologize in advance!

The testing will be done on a public-testing beta branch. We will be announcing the password for the test two hours prior to it.

The password will be provided in the newly created "prerelease-testing" channel on our community discord, in order to join use this link: https://discord.gg/0VcFH6sxVnrYWz9g

We kindly ask two things of those interested in testing:

1. Be sure to follow what is going on in the prerelease-testing discord channel before and during the test, in case we need to provide information or instructions.
2. If the devs or members of the QA channel broadcast anything in game, please be sure to follow their lead, as we may need to test or check certain things during the games.

Thanks, and we look forward to seeing some of you during the test!

I soooo badly want this game but apparently it is TERRIBLE on amd cpus,is this right? reviews on steam say its unplayable and to avoid if you are using amd :(

Which AMD cpu do you have?

We will remove the passwords from the servers shortly - our Community playtesters are currently joining.
There will be a 40 and a 72 man server. Focus on filling the 72 man server first. Have fun!

I have the Athlon x4 860k overclocked at 4ghz,i really want this game but on steam all reviews from people with better amd cpus than me (fx range) have said do not buy as this game is not optimised for the cpus and is unplayable due to frame rate etc

they reckon its not the gpu but down to the cpus
 
'as this game is not optimised for the cpus' contradicts this 'they reckon its not the gpu but down to the cpus '

It is a very CPU intensive game and GPU if you want to crank the settings up. At the moment I am using my onboard intel GPU (i7 4790k) and it plays fine in lowest graphics settings 1152 x 864. Of course it runs and looks a lot nicer with a gtx 980ti.

AMD CPUs have been cack for years now IMO. The last good one I had that matched Intel was an amd k6-2 450 in about 1998

my cpu isn't the greatest but its not that bad for a budget cpu lol I can play arma 3 at reasonable frame rate and that is a VERY cpu intensive game,have no trouble with any other game either that I have including battlefield 4 online etc,this game just seems (if reviews on steam are anything to go by) to not be very good with ANY amd cpu,i really really want it but the reviews put me off
 
Despite some people saying there are fixes I have spoken to many who despite fixes have a lot of issues with AMD GPU and CPU's. It's an alpha so I am sure they will fix it but I would be careful if I was you. This is one of the most CPU intensve games I have played. The different between 3.4Ghz and 4.7 is about 30% in FPS. It's an alpha though so my expectations is that it will be further optimised as patches come in from the unreal team and once they patch in the new animations, DX12 etc.

yes thanks,im not going mad then lol,think I will hold off buying it until it is better optimised for amd cpus,shame as I really really want it :(
 
No issues with AMD GPU here the problem is amd cpu only. The biggest issue atm is animation system is very demanding on the cpu and Unreal Engine 4. Devs are working on a new animation system and also working with epic and also amd to get better cpu performance.

I don't think that's correct. I have had buddies who have intel CPU and AMD GPU and despite removing the audio files per the workaround they still get stuttering.
