Mega lags now and then

[Bossal]

First things first, the game is great. I only have a lot of FPS problems (from time to time) especially during thunderstorms. It's not because of the hardware, I've already tested it all. Again and again mege lags in between. Do others have the problem?

[Bossal]

the problem is still there

for me the biggest dip in fps and freezing is when going to the underdust during the elevator ride. Every once in awhile the game will lag a bit, but nothing major.

Yep, only stutter for me is when loading the underdust.
Thunder storms are not a source of slowdown for me.

Wonder what makes it an issue for some? (Well, at least one!)

I found the bug, if that's one. It was set to DX12. I switched to DX11 and it's already going great.

We're aware of frame drops in thunder storms. We have done a lot of optimization before launch and will continue to do so as we add more to the game

Yeah, going under the dust and back to the service is basically an interactive loading screen, so some frame drops are un-avoidable here.

Ever since I installed the auto collectors, I've had such significant lag that the game is almost unplayable.

I tried changing the graphics settings, but not even the lowest setting made any difference.

Another problem: I have now reset the graphics settings to the original settings and the graphics now look considerably worse.

How can that be?

Yep, the auto collectors are pretty CPU heavy. Hopefully they'll get some love in a future performance pass.

Lowering the graphics settings won't help if the performance issue is CPU or IO bound.

I had built 2 auto collectors and the game was unplayable. Now I removed 1 again and it works again.

It's not great, of course, but I can at least run 1 collector now.

That's odd, I run 4 auto-extractors and thankfully haven't had any issues.

This worked for me. Thx!

Worked for me too. Seems that for some reason the latest update to win10 made my DX12 lag. It was fine before the last windows update.

I have also been having a lag issue when looking at my ship, only 3 mods long. I wonder if DX12 is broken rn?

Also, Thank you. This fixed all my issues and now the game runs at a good rate again
