Unplayable on rtx 4090 and 13900k
nothing to do the game is completely broken I have no idea how people play it in this state there are two options: I don't pay any attention to the graphics and fluidity or I don't understand anything and play the classics from consol.fatto the fact is that after a week every day until late at night to fix configure try all the possible settings imaginable dlss on/off, dlaa taa low/high textures high resolutions cpu priority from the task manager affinity performance mode resizable bar on/off from bios driver updates various windows optimizations nothing...... stuttering huge frame rate drops starting from 120 up to 70/60 interruptions as if it were loading infinitely in the state of things it is totally unplayable when you are traveling in space on the planets once you land it runs well but in flight it's a total disaster there are no excuses that hold I have an ultra hardware worth thousands of euros so the PC must be excluded here it's really about the badly optimized video game is to say nothing really made with the feet but I I wonder....but when they release something....I say....can't they see that it doesn't work??????is it possible that the end user or the beneficiary of the purchased product has to lose sleep? peace for a damn video game made with your feet???? the money is good you have collected it and this is the final result??? after 8 years for Christ's sake with gou like the nvidia 4090 you are not capable of running graphically speaking, this little game is very light???????? I have no words, disappointed to the nth degree

Can you explain to me how to do it please I'll try

Sure. There are a couple of ways to do this. You can do this by hand but it's kind of PITA. The absolutely easiest and simplest way to do this is to download Process Lasso software from Bitsum Technologies. It's free, and it just display purchase nags from time to time, but it has all features enabled.

https://bitsum.com/

Process Lasso is kind of like advanced Windows Task Manager but with the ability to tweak the Windows CPU Scheduler and bunch of other things. If you ever used Windows Task Manager then Process Lasso should not be much different.

With NMS running, Alt-Tab it and open Process Lasso. Search for NMS.exe. Right-click on it, then CPU Affinity->Always->Select CPU Affinity. Then simply click the P-Cores button and Process Lasso will automatically set it for you. This setting sticks across NMS restarts and PC reboots.

Good luck!

As I told you in other posts, I have a system similar to yours, same CPU but slower GPU (RTX4080) and I have zero performance or stutter issues (outside of Expeditions, that is).

But yeah, you're not the first one with such bad experience. It just makes me wonder what the heck is causing this. Why am I not having these problems and you are? The only time I had really bad stutter problem in this game was somewhere mid last year after one of the big updates, but they fixed that in a bout a week.

So the game is capable of running smoothly but there is something that triggers this problem. I'm not trying to blame your system or criticize you, I feel like this is a legit issue because it keeps coming up. I just really wonder what this is.

Since this is 13900k, have you tried the E-Core "theory"? To make the game run on P-Cores only?

I'm sorry, I wish there was a way to fix this :(

Made with your feet? - that's a new one.... Game works fine for me on a i7 with a 1060 6g,

Yes,in 640x480 at low setting yes run well lol total trash unplayable
Tony Soprano Feb 29, 2024 @ 12:18am 
I'm sorry too, I really spent time on it instead of playing it (which I would have liked) but believe me it's unplayable unless you close your eyes continuously every 1/2/3 seconds I can't do it it bothers me I want it it just goes smoothly and I haven't found a solution except in very rare moments I don't know what happens it seems to be fine and after a certain amount of time maybe you change the game area it reappears making it horrible I haven't tried this thing and frankly I wouldn't want to go and move who knows what in the bios for a game it should just work it's really ridiculous as I told you yesterday the only way that works is to set the quality of the planets to normal but it bothers me because I miss all the meteorite formations around the planets the details in the distance seem bare And I hate having to turn the settings down when I've spent a lot of money to get ulta details it's frustrating not to understand what the hell it is

No the PC can not be excluded. It's certainly something on your end. Works perfectly fine for me and most everyone else. 13900 and 4090 seem to be having lots of problems in many games. My 13600 and 4080 is fine though.

hmm... I've got a 4090 combined with a 7800x3D, and i have no issues. Like Zak already mentioned, you could try and force the game to run on P-cores.

You can try using DDU to uninstall display drivers and then reinstall the most recent driver, or maybe you could try clearing NVidia's cache.

Maybe something is running in the background hindering performance?

I think it's something on your end - 9900k with 3090, max settings, and even DLAA and i'm still having no problems at all. Had to install an LOD increasing mod to get my fps to dip below 100.

but I don't use the term rtx 4090 to boast that I have a 4090, I use it on purpose to make clear the seriousness of the problem. this is a light game that's easy to play, all you need is a ridiculous 1080 to play it, think that I can do 300 fps in 3840x2160 with dlaa and running it even at even higher resolutions without any problems is not that I point. the point is that there is something in the game engine that is really broken and does not allow the gpu or cpu to run the application well that is the problem. I have a Logitech G-19 with an LCD screen where I have reported all the PC parameters in real time and I can clearly see the CPU at most for fractions of a second. It reaches 4% usage otherwise it stays at 0 and the GPU works in fits and starts. is being exploited there is something wrong and I wonder do those who released it see it or not???????how the hell do you get it out don't you realize by god?

As we've been trying to tell you it seems to be a problem on your end and not the game's end. Poorer cards are maxing out performance with no issues. The 13900 and 4090 combo is known to have issues in games.

I'm sorry but you're wrong, not because I want to be perfect but because with no other game or application these things happen to me everything goes great and I don't have any kind of problem coincidentally only on this (light) game besides. the only things that really I can try to do before giving up because I really can't take it anymore is to try this p core thing that I haven't tried and core I didn't understand and clear the nvidia cache for the rest I've done everything
overmage Feb 29, 2024 @ 12:44am 
Damn, so I'm wrong because "trust me bro"? Ok then

That doesn't mean it isn't a problem on your end. Every game i've played works fine for me, except BeamNG that has audio issues. Doesn't mean the game is broken, other people don't have that issue on similar, or even exactly the same hardware. It's most likely a configuration issue on my end.

I have not heard of this but it does make sense as it always seems to be a user with that combination!

Tony, nobody is criticizing your 4090 or accusing you for bragging, nothing wrong about having high-end hardware. Your frustration is justifiable but maybe you should take a breath and then look a bit more into this issue from a different perspective... as yeah, when I think back now (after reading overmage's comment) this always seems to be players with a 4090 and some high end Intel CPU, not AMD, not 4080, not 3000 series.

So maybe the 4090 is the key here? It starts to make some sense. Even high end hardware can have bugs as it still depends on drivers and drivers are just software and software can be buggy regardless of how powerful and advanced the hardware might be.

So maybe there is indeed some issue with 4090s and Intel CPUs combos??? A driver bug? Maybe you can find more info on this, in relation to other games, and perhaps a fix for other game will work for NMS???

friend I don't know, I just know that it's literally frustrating and I don't want to give it away, it's not possible in 2024 to spend thousands of euros and have these ridiculous amateur problems really pisses you off (not a little)
