Laggy/Slow-mo/

[Anixancy]

The game play loop is fine, but all of a sudden the game lags to the point of unbearable It's not necessarily dropping frames, but just the entire game starts to run in slow-mo; as if you've decided to 0.25x a Youtube Video. This happen especially on Saturdays (Saturday Market), thunderstorm days, or when you're doing nothing in a barren farm land! I get that it's Day-one Early access but it's a bit difficult to play if one day in-game day (i think around 20mins) gets stretched out to oblivion.

I reach summer season and the lag walk is real, I can't play like before :(

I had the same problem and here is how I solved it:

Got to setting - display and Disable V-Sync from the game, change the resolution from Fullscreen to windowed mode and change the resolution to a lower one (like 1280x720 or lower, then lower the in-game scale and see if that makes the game run faster (move around the game). After that go to Display again and just change the game to Fullscreen and change the scale to 3x.

Hope it also works for you :3

If you have huge stacks of items in your chests or inventory, selling some of them may reduce your lag.

Your save file creates a giant line for each individual item, so if you have a stack of 999 items, that's 999 lines of code. If you have many stacks, that's many giant piles of code in your save file. Selling them off may reduce lag by just reducing the size of your save file.

Also as others have said, play in windowed mode. Make sure you are resetting the game client sometimes (save the game, close the game client, reopen it) because the memory seems a little leaky. I would reset the game client, at least, every few hours of gameplay.

I had the same issue on my steam deck, after adjusting the frame rate limit to 60 it helped fix my issue.

I just want to hoard items so that when full game is ready, I'm ready hahaha. I think I have 5 full chests inside the house. lmao

same problem here

[Chibichan]

Same issue even after patch

[TheaEra]

Im currently a few days out from winter and just started having this issue as well. I did find a fix however! For anyone whose still having this issue here was what I did:

Go into settings, select "Borderless" resolution, save and close the game. Reopen, switch to "Fullscreen" lag should vanish immediately even on rainy days. I'm not sure if this will work for everyone but I haven't had lag since!

This tip solved the issue for me! Thank you!

i had the same issue on my old PC which i use when im with my girlfriend by her parents (i5 5gen and gtx 750ti - REALLY OLD)

i added in Nvidia Systemsettings the game at the "3D Setting" tab and changed:

Triple-Buffer: On
Energymanagment: Max Power
Pre-Rendered Pictures: 2
(i think the setting is also affecting non-VR Games)
since i changed that and also the Game-Option Windows Setting to Max-Performance, the game is running super smooth with 60frames on my potato machine.
(i miss my, i9 and 3060ti at home, but its only for 1-2 weeks sometimes! xD)

lol, this is definetly a bug in the game itself.. Devs should fix it.
When it lags i have some strange clearing issues as well, where most of the screen shows a 250ms old picture and when i move the mouse a 300x300pixel area arround the mouse shows a not-lagging real-time picture of the game..

Probably some optimization in the engine, which should theoretically not re-draw non updated areas, but wrongly identifies everything on screen as "up to date" or something like that.
