FPS drop after teleporting (have to restart game)

[Grubberdeck]

Hi there, I've seen numeral people having FPS drops but couldn't find anyone having issues after teleporting to or from base. Sometimes I had it when I exit my ship on a new planet as well. I run a stable 60-90 FPS for hours but after the before mentioned events it suddenly drops to around 20-30 FPS and won't recover.

I think I've done all the best settings for my PC setup following numeral forums and video's but this is a game breaker for me. I have to quit and restart the game every time this happens (which takes a few minutes). After restarting the game, everything is a-ok again.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

After some research, I think it is a memory leak, which I'm not sure I can fix on my end. Anyone got an idea of how to work around this? Again, the FPS goes from a stable 60-90 to a stable 20-30 and doesn't resolve itself, it keeps my RAM occupied

So how do you track your FPS...?

I've got FPS overlay enabled in steam

Maybe you need more RAM? How much do you have?

I have 32GB and my setup does something similar when I alt tab out of the game, then return. But it only does it sometimes.

I've got 16GB dedotaded wam

I have a GTX 980M and still use the version 446.14 with only minor FPS drops if going into Anomaly or heading a planet surface.... Overall my FPS is stable at 60

[Grubberdeck]

That's good to hear. Mine isn't, that's why I started the topic :P

Hi there,

I quit playing unfortunately. Something in my rig causes a problem for this particular game. Although I easily meet the requirements and can play way heavier games, it just doesn't run well for me. I'll try again in a few years when I build a new PC

EDIT: I upgraded my rig since the last time I posted here (mainly GPU), but even with my upgrades, it doesn't run for me (30 to 100 FPS back to 40 in a matter of seconds)

[right now.]

Maybe it's not the hardware's fault.Example. I played Hogwarts without stutters. And other demanding games. And here in this No Mans Sky game, trying to run ends up stuttering. I look around and the picture freezes. None of the settings work well. Optimization is a word the developers didn't use when creating this game. Example. Epic Fortnite huge maps where there is a battle with hundreds of monsters and a huge amount of special effects. Ultra settings. The whole game runs smoothly without stutters. You fly, you run, you jump and the picture is fluid and smooth like sturbucks coffee.

My previous system was not too different from yours (i5-2400, 16 GB RAM, GTX 1060 6GB), and it stuttered a lot in NMS while no other games stuttered for me. The only thing that helped reduce stutters at that time was the below guide. As a side note, a couple of months ago, I upgraded to a i5-11400 (kept same GTX 1060), all NMS stutters were gone and I no longer needed to use the below guide. So, it was my i5-2400 that was not liking NMS.

However with my i5-11400 system, I've been playing The Knowledge Seeker's Portal Challenge https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/3801650561772034313/ ,and I've noticed frame rate slowdowns when I "C" scan, but only after 70-80 minutes of game play. Initially, I notice fps dropping to low 30's from my usual 50-60 fps during the period that C scan icons are displayed (fps recover to normal after C scan icons time out). Then after an hour or so more gameplay, C scan slows my fps even further to low 20's along with GPU usage going down to 70-80% from 100% during the fps slowdowns.

Being that this is Portal challenge gameplay, this is all on foot and no teleporting while heading generally in one direction toward the Portal destination. So, these fps slowdowns might not be related to yours. So far, I haven't tried anything other than a game restart to fix the slowdowns. I plan to try tabbing out/in and maybe the above stutter fix guide.
