I'm never trusting the promises of performance improvements again.

[EnderswordYT]

Look, I really don't want to be negative. Rimworld is one of my favorite games- at least on Steam- and I'm really enjoying Anomaly... or at least I would be enjoying it if not 1.5. Now, 1.5 has made incredible changes to the game, sure, but the only difference between my PC and Rimworld from one week ago when the game was running fine and my PC and Rimworld now when the game's performance ranges from fine like before to just shy of being a PowerPoint presentation is that update. It wouldn't be the first time when some game's update promising performance improvements has actually made it worse either.
Now, I'll admit, my PC (and especially my prehistoric graphics card) isn't exactly good. However- I'll say it again- the game was running perfectly fine not even a week ago. Better- Rimworld used to be one of the best-performing games I have played on this PC.
Now, I'm absolutely loving Anomaly therefore I hope you understand my saltiness when a mere update is preventing me from enjoying it to the fullest. And I'll admit- the performance today was marginally better than yesterday on Anomaly's launch day, but it was still a couple of times lower than what I came to expect of this game.


Also if it turns out that 1.5/Anomaly raised the game's minimum system requirements I'm gonna be, too keep this rant somewhat civil, undescribably angry.

Can you explain what you believes bloats the game? I know some (accumulated world pawns) but overall RimWorld is a pretty stable game.

Unless you have Prepare Carefully which absolutely does and will bork your saves.

Use less mods.

Dude I only play vanilla with all DLCs, Rimworld already Has enough content, why does everyone assume everyone plays modded?

[EnderswordYT]

People, I said it already, the game was running perfectly fine before the update so it's not the case of me complaining about Rimworld performance in general. I also use zero mods because I find modding such an already huge game a tad bit weird.

This DLC is not optimized enough for modded gameplay. And for the love of all that is gold and cubical, do NOT go into a fleshbeast pit with anything that affects worldgen!

I did, the game crashed and burned so catastrophically it took Steam, the desktop and the RGB driver with it.

As I said twice before, zero mods.

Alright, so- a week ago a 4-year-old colony with ~11 people was running almost perfectly. Now- after 1.5- a brands-new 5 person colony experiences frequent frame drops and slowdowns. Zero mods then, zero mods now.

Lol

Hate to tell you this but there is no hardware on the planet that can run rimworld.

I have a 4090
13900k
32gb ram

Eventually after playing long enough the game will turn into a slog that hardly runs.
The game is simply so old and built in a way that it does not matter what hardware you have it will eventually turn to crap.

3090
Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10900K CPU @ 3.70GHz 3.70 GHz
64gb ram

Yeah bro, the specs don't matter. Max game speed and they move like it's normal speed..

I said it a couple of times before and I'll say it again- before 1.5 it used to run fine. So don't tell me about hardware specs because my old PC was seemingly able to run it well before the update.

I’m running 1.5. I previewed the unstable version a couple of weeks ago and there was a bit of a stutter, but that cleared itself up over time.

I am not running Anomaly though.

I run Rimworld on both my steam deck and my 2020 Alienware laptop with an Nvidia 2080 just fine though? (Outside so I don’t have the proper specs right now)

Edit: current game is 20 pawns across 2 colonies.


Alienware m15
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 with Max-Q design (oops)
Intel Core i7-9750H @2.60GHz
32gb ram

I mean in the start it runs fine for me too. Few ingame years later it goes to hell.

Have you tried a clean reinstall of rimworld?
Software can; with enough updates, become a bit polluted with remnants/leftovers from when the game was updated to newer version which, in turn, can lower the performance of the software itself....every so often it can help performance by just doing a reinstall of that software (or in this case, the game)...

I may try it if nothing else works.

I don't have a good computer so I know what you mean about the game bloating to the point of not being able to play. I think it might be the new dlc and not the update I do not have the new dlc and my game is running fine as long as I stick to about 10 pawns. The dev might need to do more hot fixes to the dlc to make it run smoother remeber not everyone has the same specs on their computer so while they might not have had a problem once they see other do have one they will go back and fix it.

If you're not running any mods. Maybe this could help you. A mod that should improve performance. Not sure how helpful it will be, but worth a shot.

I don't think that's how software works. If there is "remnant" code that is incompatible and being activated, the game would crash. And that remnant code would remain after a reinstall, since it's part of the files. What could happen is old files remaining on your hard drive, eventually slowing down your OS, which could impact performance. You'd simply need to remove those left over files. But usually that doesn't happen with game updates, as files are modified, not added. Unless you have extra content, in which case the files are new.
