Low, borderline unplayable FPS

[griddlemulch]

The game runs really slowly. I cranked all the settings down to low. Please help I spent 26 dollars on this and it's going to ♥♥♥♥ing suck if I can't even use it properly. I can't focus or get anything done because the minute I get into a combat situation I start clicking the icon for your gun and nothing happens and everything gets slower and slower

What your PC specs?

If he's experiencing low fps in the nightly build, then this forum is the right one, not the bug report. I think...confusing this is.....

Sorry, how do I move the post?

Seems you not have a good CPU, only suggest i can give you is wait for a dev response.

If need be I will find a way to upgrade the CPU as of now I can run pretty much all other games decently

[griddlemulch]

Also idk if this is a possible problem but my room is really dusty. Is it possible that if the inner workings have collected too much dust it'll make them work less well?

Nonsense, it's above the recommended specs of this game.
I've asked the devs before in another thread to tell us the expected fps on minimum and recommended specs, got no reply.

I also have a really big anitvirus program that's always on and I can't turn it off as well as other background things these aren't viruses I obsessively clean my PC

[ZioYuri78]

Ok,

it's late and i'm tired, sorry for my bad response.

There are three obvious problems:
1. You don't have a dedicated graphics card. According to what I can find about yours, the graphics chip integrated in your CPU is supposed to be the equivalent of a HD 6450, which was a budget graphics card from four years ago and not meant for gaming even in that time. Integrated graphics are generally OK for light use - web browsing, multimedia, older games - but there's no way for them to stand up to the demands of current games.
2. Your integrated graphics card uses system RAM to operate, meaning that games have less RAM at their disposal than your hardware specs indicate.
3. Your CPU is extremely low-end. From what I hear, Satellite Reign is supposed to be heavily dependent on your CPU.

Is your Windows 8.1 the 64-bit version, or the 32-bit version?

Yes. Dust reduces the effectiveness of your cooling, and overheating CPUs reduce their core clocks to avoid destruction.

I have just the same problem. My PC isn't great at all (Core i5-4460 3.2 GHz, 4 Gb RAM, GeForce GTX 745, Windows 8.1 x64), yet before release it could manage Satellite Reign at High without any problems except long loading times. Now even at Low settings game works very slow and sometimes freezes when I move the screen. Most of the time it unfreezes after a minute or so, but that's pretty much unplayable considering a game with restricted save system. And yes, it's the nightly build I'm talking about.

EDIT
The strangest thing, just after finishing this post (which I started to write during yet another freeze) game went perfectly again. Now I don't see any freezes or FPS drops. Weird...

Check what software you have running in the background. Might be a good idea to disable some of it.
