Why does this game lag so much?

[solitary]

This game has horrible optimization since the PC version was 30fps console port,
but why exactly is the performance so bad?
Is it like Crysis where the textures don't unload when you look the other way?
Are the textures very large in size?
What's so difficult for them to fix after 5 years?

Just..........because. :/

The engine has parts that are from the 90s in it. In that regard, Microsoft was a perfect fit to buy Bethesda/ZeniMax, whilst themselves using code from the 80s in Windows. I wonder how much from the new Starfield engine will be old code.

Lower your settings to medium, then increase the texture quality etc. Restart the game. Do not touch the distance sliders as these are what affect your FPS most.

Its a part of gameplay you dont get it

I have constant 60 fps. I let nvidia GeForce Experience sort out the settings. Yet, the game has days where it keeps stopping (to load in some stuff, i presume) when I walk more then a few meters on the outside map. Probably depends on serverload, cause its mostly during times when most players are on. Worst case is when this happens while I am being attacked, cause then the game will run on the server, me almost getting killed or worse while i am on a freeze frame for a while.

My RTX 3060 and Ryzen 5800 with 32 GB of ram on an SSD with setting tweaks for lowest possible graphics can't deliver stable 80 fps.
In 2023, 60 fps for an MMO is considered horrible.
I have a 165hz monitor, I get 165 FPS in so many more games with much better detailed worlds, there is no excuse for the dev team besides lack of will to improve the game.

And I state again, 60 FPS IN 2023 IS BAD.
144FPS IS THE NORM NOW.

most people log into 10fps with lag so bad the game instantly crashes, be happy you aren't one of them!

1/3 times I fast travel I get an infinite black screen and I have to close and reopen my game.

Why thou? I understand that 30fps is too slow, because I get a headache after playing on that for 4 hours now. The switch to 60fps was a cure for that. I don't see any difference from 60 to 144 thou. So why do you need that? For competitive shooting? I feel no need for that in Fallout. What I'd rather would like to see is a serverside improvement to have consistent and lagfree loading and faster loading into the game. I mean, come on, I'm on my superfast m2 and it still takes a walk to the bathroom and back to load into the game.

28 MB/s - that's fast enough for all other games. If you meant my ping: that's usually between 10 and 20, depending on what server i land.
