For such a low polygon game it FREAKING RUNS HOT ON MY GPU

[TheGameConsultant]

I have noticed this game crazily increases GPU load to 100 percent and makes my whole cooling system blow the MOST HEAT more than any AAA game.

Can the dev explain? Are you using non-optimized C code or C++ with too many loops or calls? Are you using LOD for view distances?

I can get this to play fine on my steam deck but the same thing, I am scared TO MELT MY DECK from the EXTREME GPU usage of this game.

Maybe the game is running too fast? How may fps are you getting, could try limit it if it's running crazy high.

It runs pretty cool on the Steam Deck from my testing, don't worry about that :)

I am getting 60 fps. For an example Crysis 2 on Extreme graphics runs cooler on steam deck than this game. I suspect the dev is loading huge maps as is without LOD or some unoptimized coding going on to max out the GPU and HEAT UP my HOME PC 2080 AND STEAM DECK :-O

Silly question, but are you limiting FPS to your refresh rate? Game doesn't even make the fans spin on my 1070 on epic settings with vsync enabled, but the game's FPS is uncapped by default - your GPU will spit frames out as fast as it can render 'em unless you enable vsync or cap your FPS

ive capped my fps and enabled vsync, pretty much every fix...im having the same issues, nothin seems to help, it also triggers my nvidia for an update that doesn't exist every time i close out the game. Ive had this happen before in Unreal games and the devs eventually worked it out. Theres another discussion on here about someone getting a low fatal error, but i havent had that happen,but with the chip shortages and all, im gonna hold off on it until it gets worked out.

I get this on a lot of early access games, the only thing that mitigates it is turning down the graphics.

Same here actually, didn't notice it until I saw this thread and decided to check via HWINFO 64. Granted, I think my RX 6600 is perfectly fine with this and I've only gotten into using desktops this year but anything over like 60 makes me uneasy.

Sorry to bump an ancient thread, but I'm seeing it as well... running this game causes my fan to go ballistic, regardless of how I adjust the FPS settings.

I haven’t been able to fix it. I have a ryzen 9 and a 3080. Every game I’ve ever played runs smooth. SOMEHOW this game runs like ♥♥♥♥, all low settings. I’ve tried everything, my frames just stutter everywhere

Necroing an old thread - but i'm playing the demo and it was crawling down to 40FPS on my 4070TI and 12700k. Think it's just very poor optimization on the devs end.

Don't forget to try to force settings through the Nvidia Control Panel/AMD Catalyst Control Center. Managing settings from there may give you a better result. Failing that, you could try installing MSI Afterburner and setting temperature limits.

Noticed my CPU absolutely cooking on the airship level. Running at 120fps. But even limiting it to 60 didn't bring it down.
