fps unplayable after patch

[KingScar]

Gotta be shader or texture related but after this update the game is an unplayable mess.

did you wait for all shaders to compile?

yes would be kind or dumb to thin you would get stable fps whilst compiling shaders.

Happenned now to me too, out of nowhere, no shader compilation, and boom FPS drop, funny thing is when this happens its because of bats hehehe, since i put twice as many enemies they tend to flock and stay in one place with that annoying flapping sound, now i was nowhere near bats though.

Game has been running flawlesly since EA started though, might be just a hiccup.

Well this kind of stuff happens with No Mans Sky a lot, a big patch will drop, there will be a flaw that makes the game unstable. Then it takes 1 or 2 small patches for things to even out.

Don't worry, from my experience this developer is on it and will patch any issues promptly. See if you can open a ticket with your issue so it might be fixed sooner.

That or wait a couple of days.

On a side note...always a chance Windows updates are breaking stuff.....again.....

Same here, and I noticed that visuals have taken a hit as well. Specifically LOD transitions are terribly abrupt and go from great to awful. I really need to get some screenshots to show this. I also notice that I just can't see things from the air like I used to - I need to "swoop in" and then towns and outposts pop into existence out of nowhere. I used to be able to see for miles and it was great.

If nerfing draw distance is the answer to performance, I sure hope they make it an option in the graphics settings, because I'd rather lose a few frames than my view of the world. Of course when both performance AND visuals take a dive, then something is REALLY wrong!

Same issues as all above. You're not alone!

Likewise.. textures are all screwed up, and performance has gone to absolute dogsh*t. Very disappointing.

What kind of specs are you all running? i have had no issues at all with the update, if anything fps has slightly gone up for me, it took a few minutes the first time after update to compile shadows but has been gold since.

That's usually where the problem is, lower end computers, not knowing how to adjust all of their settings for best performance, running too much stuff in the background, have a virus slowing things down, also it's Wednesday which is typically update day for Windows which can slow things down.

It has nothing to do with specs, it's an officially reported and confirmed issue with the update. You may not see it, but it doesn't mean it isn't there. Heck, I don't see it half the time, until something triggers it (last time it was a rain storm).

Thankfully I can enjoy the game the half of the time when this problem isn't rearing its ugly head.

The game runs better for me after the patch on linux. It looks better too.

No troubles with FPS, but I do with itsems of no cosntrution.
Ladders don't match anymore one ove other, jumping while carring any tool (hammers, pickaxes, axes...) Forced to change another item no-construction.
Why?

[sounar]

fps drop after the patch definitely saw it

That means nothing if you haven't chosen the proper settings. Not just the game settings, also the ones for your GPU and Windows settings related to graphics and performance. Lots of people like to run all kinds of unneeded crap in the background which can be a factor. Some players may have viruses on their system and not know it.

Back in the older days over clocking was actually beneficial for gaming, it's not needed in current times, so if their system is overclocked they should turn it off.

Many players I have seen in various games report about poor performance with systems much better than my own yet I am getting far better performance than they are. Players seem to be blinded by thinking they have a beast of a system so want to crank everything as high as possible, doesn't always work that way.

The problem only further gets compounded if they are a streamer running the game and the stream with the same system. I've encountered discussion with those types of players also, going on about performance.

With this most recent update, manny didn't read the patch notes with regards to changes made to the world map and POI's. Heck there was a shader processing circle at bottom left of screen which was due to all the changes made, so ya things are gonna perform not so great at first until the processing was 100% complete.
