Very low FPS
I'm running the game in low/medium with this following specs:
3090 RTX
Ryzen 5900x
32gb 3600MHZ CAS14

and it's unplayable, I've around 15-26 fps.
What's wrong? Others Sandbox game like the forest/Satisfactory runs around 200+ fps in high with this setup.

Cheer.

Hello! Same for me. Since the last updates, the game has become unplayable, even with reduced settings. This game is interesting, but poorly developed. No problem with Satysfactory which nevertheless manages phenomenal amounts of data. Cheer.

I was playing last night with all epic settings, except foliage to low with rtx on and I was getting 60-77fps at 1080p on a laptop with a rtx 3070.

another interesting thing in Task Manager, my CPU is only at 11% and the game using only 3Gb and the GPU is only at 14%.

I keep seeing these issues pop up for 30series RTX cards in a lot of Unreal Engine games. I have a 2080 super and getting consistent 60(vsync) FPS on max settings. Could just be that the game just needs some major optimization, but that may be a low priority for the dev team.

I have had this same issue just recently. The thing is i have had no frame rate issues up until now and have played nearly 200 hours and am at level 50. My PC specs are good but below that of the OP. I was wondering if it was to do with a windows 10 update rather than the game update?

Anyway the game became unplayable for me for about a day. Not really knowing what to do, i updated my nvidia driver and i also had my game installed on a secondary HDD 7200rpm. I moved it to my SSD C: drive. Within a day my game was working perfectly again. I really don't know if it was anything i did or some OS process that was working behind the scenes perhaps?

I have found it has nothing to do with your setup, but rather something happening to the prospect you are in.

To test, start a new open world prospect with the same graphics settings and character and check your frame rates; you'll probably get great frame rates at first and then over time as you build and move about the prospect, they will slowly drop until it becomes very glitchy and almost unplayable ( ~15-30 FPS )

They need to optimize the game, this is past due and affecting a lot of people. If they would fix the optimization issue, this could be one of my all time favorite games; but until then, time to find something else.

I will try this if it happens again, thanks. One thing i did find is that reducing my in-game graphics settings from High down to Low made no difference to this frame rate issue at all. So like you said it could be just something going on in with the Prospect i was in.

It's around 50 fps at start which is not great but playable, anyway we stopped to play due to this FPS issues, playing with 15 fps is atrocious, we will retry when devs will works on optimizations we do not want to be disgusted, since the game looks great outside of this problem

I have a 3080ti and the fps tanks after awhile. Any YouTube streamer is having the same issue as well.
DevilishDevourer Jan 12, 2023 @ 5:43am 
Im the same cant seem to get the game to run smooth without making it look like balls

Same for me, config a little less top, 3060 max laptop, ryzen 7 5800, 16gb ram, and no matter the high or low quality, whether I go up to 110 or stay at 60, I always have fps drops at 20/30 fps.

I don't know if this will help the devs prioritize the issue or not but it is worth a try:
