The fourth Squad Unreal Engine 5 playtest is here... and it’s not looking good.
In this video, I dive into the ugly reality behind Squad’s latest UE5 update, from the band-aid fix for Picture-in-Picture optics to the disastrous performance issues that had me rage quitting more than once.
💥 I break down:
Why the new PiP “Performance Mode” is both brilliant and broken
Server-side multithreading and TPS testing – what’s actually going on
Why 4K gameplay is nearly unplayable
A critical look at optics, scaling, and why Squad’s visuals are still falling short
Which maps are killing FPS (and which ones are shockingly smooth)
Whether you're a Squad veteran or just curious about how UE5 is affecting the game, this video pulls no punches. I’m sharing raw performance testing, developer insights, and an honest take on what needs to change before this goes live.
