Single Digit FPS

[Alexaxas]

The game starts out ok but dropped to single digit FPS (from 120ish) after maybe 20 minutes. I had one moment after where it bumped back up to 120s but then it dropped back down to literally 2-3 FPS. My friend was able to push me around while this was happening, obviously no major issue on his end, but it was totally unplayable on mine.

7800X3D, plenty of ram, and a 3080 so I don't think it's my machine that's the problem here.

Any suggestions?

Hello Alexaxas!

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I invite you to try this different step; it might help you:

• use Windows 10 64-bit or Windows 11 64-bit: we do not support older versions of Windows
  
• check the software prerequisites have been installed by Steam. These are the DirectX redistributable and Visual C++ redistributables.
  
• test to disable XMP or to change the XMP profile in bios
  
• check you have a graphics card
  
• install the latest graphics driver of you graphics card
  
• check you've the latest directX install (normally already checked by Steam at the install of the game)
  
• in some cases, using DirectX 11 is better for older computer to avoid the graphics drivers to emulate DirectX12: add '-dx11' to the launch options of the game (see images below)

You can also try to cap your FPS. We discovered a bug that doesn't cap the FPS properly on the first launch; it has been patched, but for any player who launched the game before, the adjustment must be made by the player in the options!

Don't hesitate to keep me updated if its works!
