optimize Icarus stuttering / lag

[YT : SLINT]

after playing for 12 months and researching youtube, gaining in game experience after many tests, the best way to minimize glitching is play the game after launching it on Dx11.
secondly for me i had to turn off my anti virus. Anti virus use alot of ram. This freed up my ram to use in game. then from there you can optimize ur in game graphics to your gpu.
dont forget to delete your temporary folders to make ur pc fast in general.

right click windows, select run then in run type these 3
%temp%
temp
Prefetch

delete those selections. when the option comes up to delete or skip, you want to select skip.
then run
cleanmgr to clean ur C:disk.

this helps keep my pc and games running at best.
lastley always update your gpu.

DX12 mode unplayable especially later in the game where you have a big base and lots of windmills, game requires 64gb of ram for dx12 mode (32gb is not enough).

DX11 mode you can mod the game to make it look better like upping the grass density to 2.5x normal, and running at 4k resolution

I have a 5800x3d, a 4070ti, a WD Black SN770 2tb game drive and 32gb of ram and I can't run the game good in dx12 mode.

Constant severe lag which I think is related to overuse of the pagefile (had to increase it larger than 6gb because Icarus gives "out of video memory" error if it's 6gb or less). I don't have a 64gb ram kit or I would test this theory.

yeah bud im running a ryzen 7800 3dx or what ever that cpu is with a rtx 4070 ti and im running it on dx11 too. i found turning off my bitdefender actually helped reduce stutter its bearly noticable now. except for larger render ins.
