Horribly optimized for PC?

[Dustin5600]

Why the hell does this ♥♥♥♥ lag so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bad. I have a 3060ti and a ryzen 7 5700g and literally cant play with over 30fps. Somethings wrong and it’s not my computer.

I5 12400F and RTX 3060ti, running Ultra without DLSS with 60+fps stable. Verify game files.

I cap my fps at 60, but when I don't cap it I can get on avg 80fps

What's your resolution ?

Pixels per frame matters for a discussion.

[Bob the Boomer]

What resolutions are you trying to run at and what settings?

I run the game at 1080p 60Hz and textures at ultra and most other settings at high and or medium with a i5 9400F 6 core CPU @ 4GHz no hyperthreading, and a 1660ti 6GB GPU and i get 60fps avg with frame cap on and without i can get about 75fps.

Some settings really tax the system so try manually changing them, ultra trees for example impact FPS by a large degree compared to High settings

1920x1080, but I’ve noticed when the game launches it automatically keeps putting it into 720

Look like you have troubles with your PC cause my 5600x with 2060 give me 60-75 fps (ultra quality with dlss). You can try update or reinstall OS and drivers.

Make sure its running on Vulkan in the Graphics API setting and enable shader pre caching in steam settings.

I recommend following Digital Foundary's Xbox One X settings for PC as the game looked flawless on console anyways.

Check your RAM speed.

I run star citizen at 60fps, and don’t have this issue with any other game.

Turn of the Triple Buffering probably will help

I have a 3060ti, 5600x, almost maxed out and get 60fps. Some settings are much more demanding than others. The guide below perfectly illustrates this. With a little tweaking you should be good.

Short version: Turn MSAA, water quality and volumetrics quality.

Interesting topic, OP, to assume it's the dev's fault instead of your system, hardware, or complications with your isp when the issue is almost always in one of those places. Have you checked for updates recently to your OS & hardware/graphics drivers? Have you done a file verification through Steam to ensure you have the most up-to-date version of the software? Have you checked/allowed exceptions for the software through your firewall/antivirus solution (if you have one at all)? Are you gaming through a wired Ethernet or wireless/Wi-fi connection (that does have an impact)?
Also, turning down the in-game settings shading/tessellation/water/volumetrics(lighting) can and will have a positive impact. Just because the game's engine tries to default you to "ultra" doesn't mean your system can handle it while multitasking--even if you think it's an overpowered gaming platform. Basically adjusting the settings to get it working/functioning better for your game-play is the idea here.

A lot of assumptions here. First, it doesn’t not default me to ultra. EVERYTHING is on low. I have done everything you mentioned, literally. I sat on the internet researching for hours trying everything I could. Why would my ISP effect single player?

Launch game
Go to graphics
change the "Output Adapter" (0 to 1 or 1 to 0)
**Restart the game**
Test the settings
If needed, dial down a few settings like water quality, shadow quality etc., to get a few more FPS.

BTW I am running on 3060 Laptop (Asus A15 2021), getting 57-65 FPS on 99% FPS on High-Ultra mix settings (except water quality and MSAA settings, i.e., high taxing properties), maintaining under 85*C.

Also, if you have an integrated GPU, make sure Windows (Or any other application, such as Armory Crate from Asus) is not defaulting the game to a GPU, and you are not getting the best experience.

If your isp is throttling your connection then it can most certainly affect your gaming connectivity. The average consumer rents a modem/router combo from their isp and has no idea what quality of service they are really getting from their service provider. A common symptom of this is lagging/rubber-banding in-game. The only cure I discovered is to purchase my own separate cable modem & router and stop paying the rip-off rental fee so I can actually get the speed I pay for (which is 1Gb)--to each their own though.
I'm running off a X570 Aurus/Ryzen 9 3900x/1050 Ti and I even have some settings intentionally lowered (shadows, tessellation, water, volumetric) because the game hogs Ram like crazy.
