randomly generated world jumpy
While Navesgane 1.0 runs flawlessly I prefer to play random generated worlds.
It's strange the game starts out great right about 100 fps but after a week or so in game and I get into towns the gameplay starts to jump, fps drops to about 65fps, as I move forward it seems to skip/staggered movement. I have an i9 9900k/2080/32gb so I don't think its my pc.
Is there some setting I that I need to change that may be causing this issue or do I need to wait for the devs to address it?

I haven't seen anyone else complaining of this performance issue specifically, and I don't seem to be experiencing that myself. I don't monitor fps, but the game runs smoothly for me with very little in the way of dips.

You have a good CPU, and that is the main thing with this game I believe, so it shouldn't be your rig. What settings do you use? Is the stuttering easily reproduceable, ie: in certain places/circumstances?

I don't usually mess with setting, I'm currently running default ultra.
I get the stuttering every time I am in an area that I would consider a town or city, street lined with buildings beside each other on both sides of the road even if I am inside one of those buildings.

Which biome are you in? I haven't made it out of the forest yet, so I don't actually know if any of the others are more demanding and cause loss of performance. I wouldn't expect so, but you never know with particle effects etc.

Settings-wise, I found the main one to make a real difference (apart from shadow quality) is the one governing terrain mesh quality, I forget what it is called. I have everything on ultra apart from those 2 IIRC, and I just scaled them back one notch. I run a 4060Ti and an i9, I don't remember the model.

the generated worlds have some issues i think. one is a sudden massive fps drop for no reason that require restarting to fix. it happen sometimes i just start a new game running around in the woods picking grass with nothing nearby, 85 fps ish 5 min later 25-30.. restart game then good again for hours.. this never happend in navegane.

in the cities also sometimes in towns 70 fps, other times 40 fps. same town, similar conditions. idk whats going on. i tried all the settings and i cant even tell if theres a difference in fps between maxed and low. tho my gpu is alot better than my cpu and that may be why changing gfx settings dont affect fps much.

the worst place in the game fps wise are the big wasteland cities.

I've not been to any cities yet, or even a big town, so untested in that regard.

I did have one instance of fps drop, which was fixed by restarting, but the game had been running for about 3 days at that point (in the background, mainly, don't even log out when I put pc on standby). It generally runs for hours with no issues, so I don't worry too much.

BM's run well too, though as I say, time will tell what happens in the wasteland cities, I expect fps drops there, tbh.

Check chunk reset days, it can be found when clicking continue game and going to advanced tab has it may be that you are experiencing the chunks being reloaded.

Same playing at 2k resolution and been to most cities with no problems.

lower fps esp. in larger poi, your base or cities/towns are often due to wrong setting.
Most important is the shadow quality i recommend to set it to low regardless of cpu/gpu.
In generel the default setting are optimistic and only stable in simple regions like very small towns in the forest (e.g. navezgane towns).

I also recommend to restart the game after every blood moon and tier 5 poi.

Also recommend to limit your fps to 60, not just is it more stable but most importantly the animation quality of the game doesn't justify to go above.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I changed all my settings to medium /low for anything with high game impact and limited fps and it seems to have taken care of it or at least reduced it to a point where I can continue to play.
