I tried, but ...

[Styx River Gynoid]

I have tried to look towards the future as the game is tweaked, I've spent the past 5 weeks redoing the same stuff over again, even though I maxed at lvl 50 in week 2, and my season goals are completed the moment the phase rolls over, because I really wanted this game to be fun.

But the patch today means it takes 7, 8 minutes to get past the "Generating Materials" phase of logging into a server, and when I *do* login, my FPS is down the crapper. Then if I try and teleport anywhere ... another 7,8 minutes generating materials. So forget being able to 'port to crisis scenes as they pop in chat! I've turned off all the beautiful texture work and detail the art team put into the game to try and make it playable instead of a glorified slideshow, but no luck.

I know the AI or auto-responder they have for "support" will just tell me to repair client or reinstall, because it seems that's the only response you get from support these days. Already tried. Didn't work. Else I wouldn't be making this post.

I have 450 hours in the game, 450 hours of amazing fun, exploring this wonderful game universe, meting new friends, but it pains me to say that there may not be a 451st - because I don't feel like spending it waiting to log in!

Starry, whatever you did today, please consider backing it out and trying to figure out what's gone wrong. Google search says that this Generating Materials load time issue has happened before, so obviously you fixed it then, how did it return now?

You are not alone i have the same Problem and i have 2 acc on 2 different Launcher apps on Steam and on there own Loading bay and on both i have the Generating Materials for 10-12 Minutes so its not the installed game as the error is on 2 differnet Game Installations from 2 very differnd Launching apps,and yes my game is on SSD my Game run fine for near 1000 Houre until todays Patch and i have reinstall the Game and i have verific the game files 3 times now

I think i find the Problem this update broken something in DX12 if you turn it back to DX11 the loading times are again normal

already had the issue before the update, reading your post SCARES me and I will not launch the game at all
game's on SSD
graphics at minimal
FPS locked @60
got a nice config
nobody on the official discord is able to fix my issue, and they could fix it for theyr potato pc, we tried many things
i love the game despite the gamba, the bugs and the lags, i love exploring areas finding 3 chests killing an elite doing the related quest and going next area, i love my lil wooden house, but i'm sad now that i know my loading issue has gotten worse

That helps with the Generating Materials issue thanks, but sadly not the FPS one. It makes everything impossible, even building given the delay between clicking and the instruction firing.

My game is pretty much done unless Starry decides to try and fix this, but I don't have any confidence in them at this stage

The sad irony is, Starry is running a campaign to try and woo back "Returning Players" with this new path, but with how much people are being affected by the lag and this right now, those returning players are gonna take one look and leave to never trust Starry in the future if it says "No wait, we got it right this time, we promise!".

On the bright side - I guess - at least their AI "Live customer support agent" didn't bother to tell me to run repair client, or reinstall, when I filed the bug report.

It *did* decide the bug report was actually just a suggestion though ...

I really REALLY want this game to get better, and to continue having fun in the unique world they created. Maybe they'll figure it out, maybe they won't. But right now, I'm gonna save my money for Sea Power when it drops instead.

i have another fix after that you can use again DX12 you must reload the shaders for that go in the game option and change the Grafic Preset i was on middle and change to very high the game tell you then it need to reload the shaders after its done change back to DX12 restart the game and it will work again normal
