Poor Performance on GOOD Pc

[ITheAbyssI]

I am having lags even on medium settings in 1080p with:
RTX 2060
Ryzen 2600
16gb Ram 3200hz

Really seems okay to me.
I have i7 6700t, 16gb ram, and has a rtx 2070, and it averages around 85fps and high around 100fps at 1440p with everything on the highest settings.

I am getting 150+ fps maxed out at 2560x1440 on my GTX 1080 Ti using the v435.27 NVIDIA drivers but the game rarely feels as smooth as it should do (I have a 165 Hz G-SYNC display) and is prone to periodic hitching/stuttering. But then this is using Unity Engine, an engine that is, in my experience, very prone to stuttering and hitching, and it's an old version at that from April 2017 it seems judging by the date on the UnityPlayer.dll file!

Game looks interesting but it's a shame about the choice of engine. Unity is fine for smaller indie games but not so great IMO for open world-type games that rely on streaming assets in during play which is what this is.

Maybe capping it to 60 fps will improve things...?

Well yeah, Unity... I'd be interested in hearing if running the game with FPS capped helps at all. I tend to not fret too much about FPS and just noticed (due to this thread) that I'm only getting 30 fps but haven't seen any sharp drops or dips. laptop with GTX 1060.

I had the same issue when I first started playing. Really bad stuttering and choppiness, even on the most simple spots in the graphics. Not sure why, but after exiting and restarting the game multiple times, it seemed to sort itself out. Not sure if enough got cached from the Unity engine that it was running on disk anymore, or if it was something else altogether.

Huh, someone else posted a URL to https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Outer_Wilds#Exclusive_fullscreen

So of course exclusive mode performs significantly better (FPS now a constant 60 with vsync) " -window-mode exclusive "

Still not seeing any stuttering.

If you turned V-sync off, then that's the reason. Disabling V-sync causes major jutter. Turn it back on and use a controller if the mouse input delay from V-sync bothers you.

I'm the only one feeling sick with the perspective/FOV ?

Any tips on which settings to change specifically to make this run better on a slightly sub-optimal machine? (Assuming I can even change settings, which at the moment I can't because the menu is buggy... but when that bug is fixed...)

I have a Ryzen 3800x and 2080 Super and the thing lags. It's Unity. :(

Nothing to do with V sync or graphics settings from my PC (GPU 2080) runs fine when stationary. the minute you start looking around its juddery mess(Vsync or not), unplayable by my standards. The only thing that helps is limiting the FPS to 60 this has helped massively. Its not 100% but is now playable you can limit fps to 120 also and it has the same effect although the game is no smoother than limiting at 60 seems the game is hardwired to run at 60. Unless someone knows how to remove this cap.y

I guess you got it on windows store?.

[Nikhil]

None of the solutions worked for me, turned out it was an issue with poor windows 10 CPU throttling. Setting your power saving preference to "Maximum Performance" forces your CPU to run at max speeds. And it completely fixed my performance problems.

They must have done some fixing around, i get 240 fps on all maxed settings and in more enclosed areas i can get 400+ fps... im trying to find out how to lower my fps cause i dont need my graphics card running so ahrd :/

I have the same issue - the game runs at 20-30 FPS in fullscreen mode, regardless if v-sync is on or off. But in windowed mode it runs at 60 fps. WTF?
