For computers with low configuration

[Overdose]

I think the game itself is good, but it's barely playable for me, but it's still a bit stuck, so I hope I can reduce some configuration and optimize it better.

Same issues for me. All graphic settings set to "LOW" and it's still laggy. Have to quit game using task manager or it just bugs out and freezes my computer. I'm not too worried about it though, I'm sure it will get optimized before release.

what gfx card do you have?
I've on a 9 year old i5 with a 1050ti and it's very playable with mostly high settings

GTX1080 - Rysen 5 - 16gb RAM
Task Manager says 90%+ of my GPU is SOTF while I'm ALT Tabbed. It's also using a great deal of RAM. 7-8gb!

that all sounds normal. your PC should be able to run this game relatively well

features I always change to boost performance in modern games are
limiting draw distance (to relive my poor old CPU)
turning off depth of field/motion blur (hate these features anyway)
bump down object count for non-gameplay objects like grass

usually can run textures on high (not highest/extreme) for most modern games and everything behaves nicely
sons of forest runs fine for me. nice and smooth
only occasional jerks I get are my poor old SATA SSD struggling to load data fast enough (like when entering caves) and a location based performance drop when a couple of the lake locations are frozen over in winter with visible fog

Well the minimum requirements are really low. You just need an old 8th gen i5 and gtx 1060 to run the game at low.

If you don't meet this its time to upgrade. Devs can't keep optimizing their games for such low end hardware.

They made the game to run on high end stuff. You gave them money for the game so they know u can buy more hardware. They don't have enough $$ in their budget to keep fixing anything so it be ding dong ditch this month for their 1.0 release. :P

are you intentionally this dense? how exactly does a gaming company profit of a gamer buying better hardware?
and it fine runs on potato PCs like mine. jesus some people

What actually is your config? Or your specs?

A good way to save both CPU and RAM is building tiny bases.
Even small bases can still be cozy.

Avoid building near the seaside, rivers or waterfalls.
There's a lot of physics going on there, so not having them within the rendering distance wil rake some burden from your cpu.

Settings-wise Try:
- lower resolution (helps both GPU & CPU, VRAM)
- reduce textures (GPU & VRAM)
- turn off vsync (helps decreasing GPU load)
- turn off Anti aliasing (also GPU)
- turn off effects like motion blur etc. (GPU)
- turn off volumetric clouds ( helps CPU)
- reduce shadows to a minimum (CPU)
- reduce lighting effects (CPU)
- reduce rendering distance (CPU, RAM)

I just threw in 16 more gigs of RAM tonight and it solved my issues.

kind of an old discussion, but is this game playable with 8gb ram? does it launch at all, and if it does, how poorly will it run?

Running on a olde hp sff had a old i5 and a gt 1030 game ran fine. Lots nonsense on this forum really.

You have ethernet, you have youtube. Search such questions in there first.
tho I looked for you and yes it has similar FPS compared to 16 or 32GB of RAM

lol i run on x4 860k cpu ,radeon r7 200 series 2gb, 8gb ram and on low settigs i get +- 50 fps with minor freezes
