FPS drops when turning/looking around

[Комгдdе☭]

While not moving the camera the fps stays stable, but quite frequently when I turn just a bit in any direction, the fps drops from 90 to 70-50. When I constantly keep looking around (due to being surrounded) it could drop as low as 50-40 and stay there until I stop looking around.

I tried to run the game at every graphic/display setting, but nothing has an effect on the fps drops

Are there others with this issue? Is there any bandaid fix that could solve this from a player side?

have the same issue, was playing at 70-90 fps now its constant 30-40 on the ship and 50 on missions. so dumb. no fix except restarting pc

I have the same issue and excatly done what you did but nothing worked

It's poor culling and unoptimized assets in the game. I'm not sure what they changed in this last patch, or they undid something that worked better prior, but performance is definitely worse now than it was.

When you're turning your camera and your FPS improves the game is rendering something that isn't resource intensive. When you turn it and it drops, it's rendering something that is poorly optimized or it's not culling things that shouldn't be rendered at all.

There's also jutter you get in general with mouse movement. It usually happens in games developed for consoles with joystick panning in mind. They really need to pick up more on PC optimization.

Turn off motion blur. See if that improves things. Next, turn v sync off and see if that improves things. Yes, you'll get more tearing, but it should improve your framerate.

I'm not experiencing this issue, but this is always my first step when I am experiencing issues despite having a powerful enough computer to run recommended specs.

Na, same problem here. Tried everything, been looking for an answer since days. on ship its fine, 120fps. Ingame when not looking around and walking in a straight direction it stays on 100-110. When looking just slightly to the right the fps drop down to 60-70 and when I move it extremely fast it goes down to 40.

Disable motion blur, lower FOV, adjust scaling as needed.

If you're getting 90 in a game this intensive/poorly optimized, then you need to tone some stuff back to begin with.
