GPD Win 3 - Asteroids artifacting everywhere
Hi, i'm a proud user of a GPD Win 3 the game runs smoothly like silk, right now runs at 60 fps, but for some reason every damn asteroid in the game starts artifacting like hell, the gpd can have up to 8gb Vram, just in case someone says i dont have enought vram.... and only happens in this game, i can play Destiny 2 (~45fps) , Cyberpunk 2077 (~30-35 fps) and many other games without any issue

Can someone help?

My videocard has 8GB Vram as well and I don't get artifacts, so that theory should be flung out the window. I don't know how that device works though, perhaps someone more knowledgeable in regards to specific X4 graphics settings can help you out here. But yeah if you have 8GB Vram, that just can't be the culprit.

I would bet that this is a driver issue. I doubt there has been much developer testing on Intel Iris as it's not particularly common. Also it's still a low power integrated chipset so it's not amazing for gaming. Look to see if there are any driver updates for the Intel Iris.

Being as X4 also pushes the cpu pretty hard I would imagine that the whole unit could be overheating as well. Watch the temps while you play.

While the vram is shared with your RAM and it's not really ideal, I don't think that's the issue.

I'm having exactly the same issue on my GPD Win 3, however previous to me buying ToA, it would go away after restarting the game. Are you playing with the Tides of Avarice DLC installed too?

Yes, i have all dlc, and most recently drivers installed :S:S

Sadly I did not find a fix :( Disabling Tides of Avarice DLC and installing some nexus mods to reduce the number of asteroids may help but not fully fix the issue. Now to wait for the win 4!

Same here, i still waiting response, drivers update and blablabla, lets see with the new dlc what happens

Update: sadly the v6 beta did not improve this for me. I don't suppose anybody has had luck with another type of fix or mod?

Nop, even downgrading the game to the first updates solved it

I have an RTX2070 super and when I had the AMD FSR turned on I was having a very similar problem. Turned it off problem went away. I have the latest Nvidea drivers. Also I was getting CTD's with effects distance at max so turned that down to 50 and has been rock solid ever since. I have fog on low and the setting under it, or was it above :) cant remember offhand on low with everything else maxed at 1080.

2070 Super, 32gb 3200, I5 9600KF oc 4.9.

I am still reasonably early on in the game but so far I have not got less than 30fps in a station which seem to be the biggest fps killers.
