Horrible performance on 1.0

[IgnizXnR]

Ever since I updated it, I'm getting disgusting performance on it, it always ran very smooth on beta 12 but now it struggles to stay at 80 frames, i keep getting frame spikes over and over. I have a 3060 and a amd 5 5600x, and I know people with specs lower than mine can run it perfectly fine, any help?

That's because :

Graphics enhancements

It is always our desire to push, push, push PCVR to the very limits!

We added some new graphical improvements to make the game even more beautiful, such as clouds casting shadows and eye adaptation to lighting changes such as going from inside a cave to outside, and vice versa.

I understand graphics enhancements are a thing but as I said before, I know people with pcs with lower specs than mine that are running the game better than I am

I have top-end hardware configured specifically for VR (Ryzen 7 5800X3D, 32Gb RAM, RTX 4090, Pico 4), but I still have performance problems. And next to the boat near the house, FPS drops very much! In general, the FPS in the starting location does not even reach 65-70FPS. How is this possible? Should we wait for patches?
P.S. Fresh install, no mods at all

that is strange, as i run a 5600, 32gig ram, and 3080 10gb and have no problems hitting 90fps @ the quest resolution of 4128x2112.

I think there is a memory leak in this game but that's something that happens over time.
That's not me saying the problem is on your end as Sir Cat should be able to brute force the performance so i do think a patch is needed.

Unfortunately it is common for PC games to have different performance outcomes on different hardware configurations.

All i can suggest is to lower all the settings including the resolution of the headset and turn things up 1 at a time to find the culprit once found report it on here or on the blade and sorcery discord. I hope you get your problem fixed.

Yes i think it's a memory leak because fps drop with time.

So just to be sure, what is a memory leak

A memory leak happens when the application allocates computer memory for its own use and then never deallocates it when its done with it.

Which is somewhat unlikely (unless they're cache a lot of objects) as the game is make in unity, so it's programmed in C# which has garbage collector and should clean anything that isn't in use (might cause hitching when cleaning up a lot of object).

The exception to that would be anything that was created outside of C#'s memory management system, which won't get GC'ed.
