Low ingame FPS compared to demo and despite having locked 60fps

[öpö]

Every single menu screen looks to be running at 60fps or higher, but when you're in the gameplay screen (controlling your ship in campaign or choosing your control scheme), the game seems to be running in a weird 30 frame rate? I have the game locked at 60fps and it rarely dips below 55-60fps, but the game still visually looks to be running at 30fps or lower.

Here's a video so you understand what I mean

Is this intentional or a bug? I hope that this is a bug because it really strains the eyes (at least in my case).

Specs, my pc isn't the problem.

If you are using a controller unplug it and fps should improve.

I don't have any controllers plugged in when I play with m+k, just like in this case.

Im having a similar issue; menu performance is fine but when actually playing the fps drops to below 30 and I have 5950x with a 4080.

Very strange, I suspect it might be yesterday's physics settings that might be causing it. About to roll those back in Hot Patch.

Is this something that's on the radar to be fixed sometime soon? I have no intention of playing with KB+M, but playing with a controller is basically impossible. The game will dip into the low 10's and 20's at an irregular (but frequent) pace, and otherwise be fine in the 100's or higher.

In the settings you have game speed set to fast. Set it to normal and I expect that will fix your issue. I just set mine to fast and it looks exactly like what you are seeing.

I was able to get it sub 10 FPS today, the sound also starts to die off and hit detection can just stop for both myself and enemies.

The hotfix made the fps better when playing on normal speed, but the low fps is still there when playing on fast speed. This is unfortunate for people who have played these type of games for hundreds of hours and need the fast speed.

Also there's now a graphical bug where a weird screen wide light flickers in and out. Epilepsy dangerous flickering.

Here's a new video of the fps and the graphical bug:

These problems are very bad. I hope you'll be able to fix these problems asap, especially the flickering light because it can cause serious health problems for some.

I've played too many games in this genre that I can't play on normal speeds anymore. If this doesn't get fixed, I can always refund and check this game on a later date after more patches.

This is the exact line of thinking I had when I was reading the recommendation to reduce the game from Fast speed. If that's Fast speed...I don't want to play Normal. I didn't consider Fast all that fast, the pace seemed fine. It was just jittery as all hell.

new build 10680186 should smooth out the fast mode. I matched the physics time step with the increased sim speed. Also if you were using a controller, the fps tank should be gone now as well. Still looking into the flicking, that one is a weird one.

[Polantaris]

Just did a quick run since I saw the patch, it runs a lot better now. Like night and day! Thanks a lot for the quick response on this.

Just a quick note since we're talking about performance, I still notice a massive drop for about a second after choosing a card. Absolutely nothing in comparison to how it was before but there's definitely still some room for improvement.

I am having major FPS hits when ever ion shots are happening or there is a lot of dust on the screen. I think it is dust. I travel far in one direction and the grid gets hard to see.

[Swonker]

I'm getting odd stuttering when bosses are on screen. No matter what else or how much is on the screen, stable, but stutters occur whenever Void Worm or Hatchery Mother are present.

[Osama]

im getting 30 50-40 fps on a 6800xt, playing fast or normal doesn't change anything.

[Osama]

okay requested a refund, this game should run at 144fps minimum on my rig.
