Help: Low FPS with top-notch PC

[Javiervs]

Hello. So it looks like my FPS are capped at 30 from the start, and they consistently drop as I play at a rate of around 10FPS per hour. I believe it gets worse when I travel, so it may have something to do with chunk loading. I have checked my config and nowhere it says that I should be capped at 30 FPS and it doesn't happen in any other games.

My PC specs:
Windows 10, updated
CPU AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
RAM 16GB DDR4
GPU AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT
SSD M.2 as storage drive

As far as I can tell, using an AMD GPU is at best a coin flip on having playable FPS. Everyone complaining of constant ~30FPS (it is a frequent complaint) has an AMD GPU as well as Windows 10.

Using an Nvidia GPU and Windows 8, I do get 60FPS...but your FPS loss is shared by every single player of this game, it's a memory leak issue involved with chunk loading.

Do NOT play this game at max settings. Disable ambient occlusion, turn down all the draw distance settings, bloom disabled, etc. If you've already done all that and it's still 30FPS when you launch the game after restarting your OS, it might be refund time.

Thank you for your reply Flotch.
I forgot to mention that I use 4K resolution, and lowering it to 1080p made it go all the way up to 60fps. It is weird that 4K lowers resolution to exactly 30fps.
I was recommended to restart the game every time the fps get too low, but I believe hitting "Apply" button in the graphics settings works too and is much simpler.

I'm not gonna refund since I enjoy the game, but I am annoyed that the memory leak and performance issues continue to be dragged on.

Best regards.

I think they said they're going to try to focus a bit on performance since they did a poll and that was voted pretty high as a priority.
