[Fixed] Client Side Simulation Speed Dropped Massively

[LordVIP3R]

After the most recent patch, my client side sim speed has gone from its solid 1.0 to a 0.3-0.45

I've never had this problem with space engineers, quite simply because my computer is an uber beast of rediculous 'take all of my money' proportions.

This has only occured after the most recent patch and I cannot seem to fix it at all. My next step it to completely wipe and reinstall the game but I really don't think that'll solve much.

Any ideas community people?

They have updated mods API, so if you are using any mods, they can be broken and causing lagging.

No no I've cleared the mod folder. Even when I attempt to run the game via a clean install/no mods on single player I still get a 0.3 - 0.4 client sim speed :(

I've never ever had this problem before and its bugging me so much, all after that cursed most recent update! D:<

So I've somehow managed to fix it (I have no clue how I've done it but it's fixed).

The main steps I took just before fixing the sim speed issue.

- I reinstalled the game and cleared mods/appdata
- I turned on V-Sync (Which tbh shouldn't have an effect on the simulator speed)
- I closed overlay applications (I think this is what caused it)

So essentially I have Steam + Origin + Uplay + Overwolf + ShareX + GeForce all using their silly little overlays for me when I'm ingame, now every other game I have can handle these, but knowing the mess of duct tape that holds space engineers together, I doubt it can handle them.

Anyway I disabled the overlays of Origin and Uplay and now I'm getting a solid 1.0 sim speed.


It's really quite odd, as I said I've never had this problem before even with these overlays in place, it has only occured since the most recent updates. I know it definitely wasn't my hardware, just considering the fact that I have 2x Liquid Cooled 1080's, 32GB 3200Mhz DDR4 RAM and a lovely little i7 6700k.

So yeah... maybe this will help someone else, though I doubt it.

Good luck fellow engineers,
May Klang have mercy on your soul.
