Poor Optimization

[nemnless]

Back in February the optimization was bad. Seems like it hasn't been improved. Hoping the devs can see this thread so they could be a little bit more interested in optimizing the game. Really don't want to play the game while burning my GPU to the ground.

#Edit on 2025
sorry guys, I cleaned up my computer and went to a shop to take a look at my computer, it turned out my GPU was installed on a rather not efficient slot so my overall performance was pretty bad, today I booted the game once more and there were no issues, sorry for the false information on my end. Sorry devs! The optimization is good!

Yeah the optimization is very bad for a game like this, with simplistic graphics and everything still resetting outside of flame altars.

Out of curiosity what are your specs?

What do you want . 100 , 200 , 300 fps ?
I am running 60 fps in 1440P, its fine for me.

I am able to play this game flawlessly on my 4060 rig and 1660ti laptop, I only have stutter issues when changing weapons/items or gliding on my 4080 rig.

I do not thing this is burning your GPU. Could fall under your settings or the issue I am experiencing on my 4080 where no matter what setting it is on or resolution, it just runs like butt and needs the devs to fix this issue. I have tried everything on my 4080 rig with no success.

I had this and whenever changing Weapons quickly, moving through the tool bar and a whole host of stutter. Put the game on the same drive as steam and ofc on the fastest drive you have. It worked flawless now except odd stutter if I plant a bazillion trees :) but no hot bar stutter or combat stutter.

Mine is all on the C drive - M.2, that steam is on. I do not use HDD and already ensured it is on the main drive from the start. Doing private server.

Glad that worked out for you my friend. Ill just have to play it on my lower end PCs for now.

simple graphics XD

this is one of the best looking voxel games at this scale out there in my opinion. dont compare voxel games to non voxel games.

I think he is not complaining about the FPS, but the optimization itself.

I run 60 fps in 1080, fine, no lag, stutters, whatsoever, but the GPU is always at its maximum. Always above 85°C and 150W. Not very good.

yes, I think you explained it better than I am. The issue you listed here is exactly what's happening to me, it's burning my 3070ti to 85*C and beyond. as if my computer is screaming for help.

Note that the game is using their own engine built specifically for this game. So it's not just Early Access. It's them building a new engine. For a new engine i'd say it's doing extremely well. But it's a work in progress. And sure it does need some optimization. They'll improve upon it hopefully. And if not i certainly hope they at least fix the texture issues. And that's the only issue i have. Runs pretty darn good here.

The game does require like an RTX 4070TI or Super or above to not have 100% gpu usage. The high temps though is on the manufacturer of the gpu. Even at 100% usage max i've seen is 62c in menus no vsync.

Playing i've seen 59c as below Vsync OFF.

With Vsync ON as below at 52c and typically between 47c-57c.

Using a Gigabyte RTX 4080 Gaming OC 16GB. Fan curve set by msi afterburner for 35% at 45c and 100% rpm at 60c. I'd highly suggest setting a custom fan curve as i do. And please blow out that dust. And maybe in the future read reviews of the gpu you want to buy. And i mean specifically checking temperatures for a given model. Unless you must have brand X. I've always had good luck with Gigabyte. Coil whine is also minimal as well. So i usually go with them.

Also ensure all the fans on your gpu are actually working. My gtx 970 had 1 of 3 fans go bad after about 6 years. Then a 2nd fan go bad a few months later. It took 2 going bad for me to notice an increase in temps. E bayed replacement set of 3 fans for under 20 bucks total and installed them and was good to go. GPU fans going bad is a common problem. Some may stop working in under 1 1/2 years. So get a flashlight and stick your head down there and check em.

I'd love to pick up this game but the recommended 6700XT for AMD is sooo much better than my 6700M.

On 2070s, i7-10700k, 32GB RAM on high settings in 2K I play without problems

dam so something really strange happen to me

my 4070s / 5700x3D / 32Gb ram / game on nvme

often goes below 60 fps in 1440p and high settings (no ultra only high ) without dlss

and with dlss I barely get to 60-70 fps

I do not expect optimization till near the end of the building world phase of the game, there is a lot of other more important programming to do.
This is normal when in Alpha / Beta, and this game is fully in BETA and doing a great job at it.
