Game barely getting to 50 fps..wut

[DarthMalak]

Uhm.. 3060ti, 5800x3d, 64 gigs ddr4-4000, etc..
Mostly balanced settings, half on performance even and the game barefly reaches 50 fps.. Game has a lot of microstutters, doesn't feel smooth at all even with vsync...

I know this one uses vulkan and is early access but it is not THAT early access that you couldn't expect a bit more optimization.. What gives?

Its early access

[DarthMalak]

Tbh... a lot of games are early access... This game is not like alpha early access... Early access is also a way to attract people to your game. So a decent amount of optimization should be done anyway. And its not like the visuals in this game are of such a quality that warrant anything close to 50 fps...

Also, reading the many reports from people with game crashes, graphics issues, vulkan render issues it seems the engine itself is still in alpha state.. Guess I'll have to wait 6 months or so and come back.

FPS certanly seems weird for your specs. RX7600 + R5 3600 here and my fps is 70-100+ on 1080p and high settings. I remember people were saying that game for some reason puts "low priority" in task manager on itself, you might want to check this one.

As for stutters, yeah, no way around it. Even on 100 fps the game time to time stutters and looks choppy, while still remaning at stable 100 fps. It's an engine problem and devs said they're looking into it.

EDIT: Oops. Downloaded special AMD drivers for Enshrouded. There's a good news and a bad news. Good news is that enabled improved lighting and shadows. Bad news is that my performance tanked HARD.

Seems this new lighting and shadows are cranked to Ultra by default and there's literally no slider in Settings menu to adjust it. Guess I'm rolling back the driver update.

Well I do game on 1440P but that should not account for much in this case... I guess I'll just write it off to highly unoptimized and needs a lot of work...

I asked around on Discord and got recommended to roll back to 23.12.1 drivers for AMD. Surprisingly it worked and now the game runs smoothly with no stutters, while looking good.

You might want to ask around for older drivers for Nvidia, seems like a driver issue.

I'm just curious, what do you use 64gb of ram for?

Not sure but I'm getting around 60-90fps @ 1440p, DLSS quality, and a mixture of medium / high settings. But I think the games refresh rate is bugged. My display is 165hz but the game only plays @ 60hz according to my monitors OSD. Which makes it a micro stutter-ish mess. Capping the framerate to 60 made is much smoother. Hopefully the devs will fix this and allow higher refresh rate.

Not how EA works bulk of the POLISHING is done at the end of EA optimization on month of EA release even with a AAA studio is another world kind of high hopes. I think this might be your first brand new to steam EA game. But this is crazy common. I don't think I have ever had a 1.0 in last like 10 years let alone a brand new to steam optimized game to date, and I got over 600 games in my steam library now...

If you want stable and bug free you should wait 6 months after 1.0 just saying...
