Game Stutter
Just wondering if anyone else is having trouble running the game.
Decided to go for a second play through but my oh my am I annoyed at the low fps count. It goes from 14-40 (averaging around 25ish) at best even at the very beginning of the game. I keep the settings at max, but no matter how I switch them up they really dont improve irrelevant if I turn on or of upscailing.
Im running this on a 4070ti with 32gb of ram and a ryzen 5600X processor. Is it just me and my rig being bottlenecked by the processor or optimization and preformance issues?
Truly love the game but its a bit of a pain to replay with all the stuttering.

Update: In fact the problem was me. After all the events that transpired I realized something was wrong with my pc. Long story short the CPU heatsink wasnt working properly causing the CPU to overheat and bottleneck. New heatsink later the game runs really smooth at 70-95fps. Nice work devs feels much nicer to play, and thanks for saving my CPU in a way xD!

No. Not just you. I am running 2070 super, I7-10700, 32GB RAM, all on a M.2.

This is pre-alpha kind of performance, and they are talking about launching 1.0 this year....

Game runs like GARBAGE even on 1080p with the settings turned to medium. The game is NOT made well. I know it only has about 3k reviews, but there is NO reason 80%+ should be positive. This game runs like crap, yet they only seem to be adding more stuff to make it run even more poorly. One of the devs is making horrible decisions and will land this game in the dead EA titles graveyard like this.

Hi, are you currently playing on beta or normal branch? We have done a lot of performance improvements in EA.1.6.0, so it should run a lot better there.

But don't worry, we wont stop here in terms of performance.

So you're going to make it worse?

I think I should be on the Beta, but not sure. I will have to check and try to run it in beta if im not already and get back to you guys!
Currently very busy with work so dont have a lot of time to play…
Keep up the good work, its all part of the process cant wait to see how it will look once you are actually finished with it.

No, we're going to be making it better regularly haha

The team should drop adding new content, and work on fixing the current content. The game should NOT run as poorly as it does. Telling the player base to run on abysmally low settings to compensate is NOT a good idea.

You don't appear to be reading the answers on this as you're repeating yourself over several threads...

We have done a lot of performance improvements in EA.1.6.0, which is currently in beta. Players will see an improvement with that update, but we won't stop there.

We will continue to work on performance throughout Early Access. Performance in Early Access games is always like a rollercoaster. Sometimes it's on the up and sometimes it's dropping.

Always, the largest focus on performance comes towards the end of the process when the game is nearing feature complete.

Thats why it's kinda pointless comparing a game like ours to a game thats had a full release. Simply, Forever Skies is not finished yet.

Car salesman level 100.

For the THIRD time. I will "eat my hat" by buying a copy for my wife if you can get this game optimized. Either way I win.

Your game DOES NOT RUN WELL on !!!!1080p!!!!!, you aren't going to wave a magic wand and "fix it" suddenly for a 1.0 release with perfect 4k performance while also adding all the content you have road mapped. Your project lead needs to be fired.

So a little feedback. After sinking a few hours in to the beta i can say that unfortunately the preformance hasnt improved. Once I launched the game it ran at a very smooth and comfy 70-80fps without any upscaling; but after half an hour the game began to tank. The fps dropped to 10-25max, fiddling with settings did nothing to improve. The stutter became more appearent once I started approaching new locations. And for some reason the rain effects are not there?
