Sudden Low FPS, or stuttering.
anyone else experience this? Like my game was perfectly fine at first, FPS was in the 80-100s. Then one day after something changed in my PC like a update or something. The Game just stutters, FPS is in the low 10-20s.... If you've experienced this, try installing a older GPU driver, like ones that pre Icarus release.

Yup. One second its so purty and smooth, next thing is down to 5 FPS for a few seconds, then it jumps back. They have some optimizing to do.

Yep. It does this all the time.

still have this problem. dx11 or 12 doesnt matter after weather incoming it begins to stuttering.

Try disabling the steam overlay if you have it on. Lots of us have found turning the steam overlay off definitely helped.
Javael v.0.2.4 Mar 20, 2022 @ 2:36pm 
thanks will try it.
Edit: doesnt works for me. what works is, to switch the resolution. its really strange. I love this game but this is really anoying.

Right after the last update, I had (for the first time), really slow fps. Rebooted by PC and haven't seen it since. Weird. I do have a delay of textures loading when loading a saved session. But after a while it goes away during that session (obviously the textures have loaded).

For most people this issue has existed since the beta. Best advice if you don't yet get 32GB or more of ram and then lower your settings to 1080p.

I have had the game for 3 weeks now.. it's never performed well.. I am happy when I get 45 FPS.. but the stutters and lag are always right around the corner.. while I'm in combat, during storms.. it's a shame because I love the game but sometimes it's almost unbearable.

hell I have 32G of ram.. I really don't think it matters I have all my settings at medium or off and my game runs like crap.. and when I look at the task manager under performance nothing on my system is being utilized more than like 35% so whatever this garbage stutter/drops is.. it's on their end.

yes, more than usual unfortunately. Seems most while moving high speed

Resolution has nothing to do with system RAM. But thinking it does might give you some potential insight into your issue. ;)

Game has always been like that even on my system, 5900x, 6900xt, 32GB RAM, installed on SSD.

I did noticed since updating to the Radeon 22.3.1 drivers yesterday the performance (when hosting) seems to be quite a bit worse with frame times going as high as 50ms. Haven't had anyone else host for me or tried single player yet.

Edit, I think they really need to add FSR 2.0 asap considering how horrible performance is.

I get a little stutter anytime I get near a cave environment - as if its choking trying to load stuff in the cave - but other than that, the game is usually very smooth.

Anyone notice how many items are being rendered inside of things that you can’t even see? Plants inside of boulders, nodes in boulders, boulders inside of boulders. Trees on fire that you can hear but not see impacting your FPS. The game is so pi$$ poorly optimized it would get a failing grade in school. For them to say the game was a finished product is disingenuous at the very least. Heck the game is maybe open beta quality at the current point we are at.
