How is performance these days?

[VoltDriver]

When I played a year ago, performance was garbage: Stuttering frequently, FPS at about 50 when in multiplayer despite my GPU sitting at 50%, and lowering graphics quality didn't increase FPS, but did reduce GPU load.

So how is performance nowadays in coop? Does FPS still get halved when someone joins your game?

My system specs:
- i7-9700k
- RTX 3080 12GB
- 32 GB of Ram

Thanks!

I cant tell if they optimized the game further, had a long break. Started now again to play but i upgraded my system to 4090, 13th gen cpu and latest gen ram, playing on 3440x1440 everything fully maxed out with around 100 to 110 fps.
Back then before the break i also had 3080 with ddr4 and 11th gen cpu, was bad :D couldnt max everything and constant framedrops

There is a major performance optimization in the experimental branch this week - read the Week 90 News Post for more details. Many people have been reporting good results from it, and when it is fully tested we'll add it into the base game.

I'm getting some sort of memory leak or something. When I first log in i'm running smooth at around 75-90fps then slowly tick down and after about an hour of playing, sitting around 35-40 fps. I can see the graph on my hardware monitor that my gpu usage % slowly ticks down over time while cpu usage and temp remain constant. Not sure whats happening. All i do is log out back to main screen and log back in. Back to 75-90fps. Adjusting the settings will cause a bump in fps for a short while but still ticks down. Otherwise, absolutely loving the new map. Well done devs!

Alright very cool. Thank you!

Hmm, what are your specs? CPU, GPU, RAM?

Lol how... im running a 4090 with 12th gen cpu and DDR4 and Im sitting at half those frames... my CPU memory and GPU are not even using half their power

definitely also getting some memory leak, used all of my memory (running 32 gb on a 3070ti) and caused a swift exit of the game and a crash to any other program i had running. Never had such poor performance in the game before Frontiers, but tbh map is amazingly beautiful and deadly so hoping the update next week sorts it out

I'm also having very bad memory leak issues, as well as opening the map and having my game almost crash from lag.

CPU (5800X) barely reaches 20%, GPU (1080) doesn't seem to hit 100% much either, but the game always goes from using 4GB ~ 8GB of memory (32GB DDR4) to using 24GB+ after a few hours.

In-game I very frequently go from ~100 fps even in my friend's large base, down to a consistent 11 fps for a few seconds, then back up to 100 fps. It happens even in completely barren areas like the Arctic biomes. Hopefully it's fixed soon.

for me with the experimental version there is way less hitching though I need to lower some of the graphic settings but not to an extent that it looks bad

- Ryzen 5 3600
- RX 6900 XT
- 32 GB Ram

[Carbon]

10700k, 2070 Super, 16GB, 1440p, all on high and epic, no AA, DLSS on 'Balanced'.

Played 5 hours today, no issues, some hitching aside.

If you're having memory problems or if the game is eating up too much memory, run ISLC and manually set your paging file size.

Thanks guys, keep em coming.

It seems very varied, but there are still some issues around. Maybe i'll wait for the new performance patch.

Exactly the same on experimental. After 60 to 90 minutes it is really bad to play. Restart server/game is needed. 10700 KF, 3070 Ti, 32 GB RAM.

I came back after some time for the expansion and to me it seems the performance got better. Even playable in DX12 now it seems.
I had to upgrade my system in between though(from 3080 to 4080, 5600X to 7800X3D, 32GB to 64 GB RAM), so it might also be related to that :) I don't have any issues with stutters anymore, or lighting causing fps drops.
Playing on the experimental branch, I can confirm some kind of mem leak or something like that, as my performance sometimes also drops noticeably after longer sessions. (from stable 60 to around 45 until I restart).

Whatever you guys did fixed the majority of my stutter and frame drops on experimental. Thanks for that

The graphics are not the thing. The stutters that come with the game periodically polling things is the worst (and it's not your HW issue). So overall it's ♥♥♥♥.
