The game is now officially unplayable for me.

Logged in today to find I couldn't do anything without constant lag spikes. Tested my temps and it has my CPU running at 95c (203F!) and my GPU at 85c (185F).

Gonna be leaving this one alone until they do something about the odd issues, and after reading more than a few stories of people burning out their GPUs while trying to play, going to recommend everyone else keep an eye on their temps while playing to avoid roasting their systems.

Just and FYI: once I logged out of it, the temps dropped to 55c (151F) for the CPU and 51c (132F) for the GPU. Whatever has gone wrong in that game is currently out of control at this point. There's no way a game should be making my CPU crank 40c more heat.

55c and 51c idle temps are pretty bad to begin with, have ya cleaned the dust/dust filters? whats the cpu and gpu you are using? my i5 10600k is 33c, 2070 super is 32c at idle for context

I found what it was with the lag spikes, Its a 1.4 thing. Go to the Trash pile (Lower Left corner of the map) just south of the gardenhose there is a small pad leading to an underwater tunnel that leads to the black anthill. There at the water you gone find the cause of your lag.

I already learned about the food bits issue and went all over the map, trying to clear it. The garbage pile is definitely one of the worst spots, but that's only half the issue. When you go far enough away from that area, all the rotten food just respawns and the ants go right back to farming it. It's literally impossible to clear it all. There are other really bad spots as well for it; apparently near the Jabby Cola can, someone found 1000 food bits piled up.

I'm just gonna wait til I can get some sort of update so I don't end up wrecking my one and only computer. The video card is hardwired too, so if it burns, that's the whole system done.

Update just went live.
If you didn't have a 30MB download, restart Steam - it should push it then.

Loading a save will clean anthills now.

But those idle temps are still pretty high, it would be worth your time to find out why they are so high outside of game. GPU isn't bad but your CPU is really high for outside of game idling.

I made the mistake (was uninformed at the time) of buying an ASUS A15 TUF laptop. It's got some good system specs, but it's well known for running hot all the time:

Computer Information:
Manufacturer: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
Model: ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA506IV_TUF506IV
Form Factor: Laptop

Processor Information:
CPU Vendor: AuthenticAMD
CPU Brand: AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with Radeon Graphics

16 logical processors
8 physical processors

Operating System Version:
Windows 10 (64 bit)

Video Card:
Driver: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060
Driver Version: 31.0.15.2230
DirectX Driver Version: 31.0.15.2230
Monitor Refresh Rate: 144 Hz

Primary VRAM: 6143 MB
Supported MSAA Modes: 2x 4x 8x

Memory:
RAM: 15789 MB

Storage:

I did some online research and supposedly the Ryzen runs fine (and is expected to run) at around 90c when gaming, though that seems high to me. I guess we'll have to see what happens. In any case, the max temp for it is 105c, so getting really close to a system shutdown, which I'm gonna err on the side of caution this time.

105c. oofta. that laptop needs a clean and re-paste, hopefully the latest patch helps you somewhat

Probably a repaste at least. It's not shown any signs of being clogged with dust. The airflow is strong and consistent, and the fans aren't making any insane sounds hinting at dust buildup.

Sadly, I'm not in a good place atm, and I'm unwilling to try opening the case right now. I'll get to it as soon as I can.

And again. This particular laptop is known for running high temps. I wish I had known all the issues when I bought it, but the specs were very good at the time and I got a huge discount on it, so it seemed worth it at the time. Now I'm hoping I can do something to keep it from cooking itself out of existence.

Don't worry, there's definitely not any serious performance issues that are shaving months and years from every player's GPU lifespan. I mean, it's not like we hear these same complaints every single day for endless months. Remember, it's very difficult to code things like rotten food "rotting away over time" because programming is an ethereal incomprehensible magic. No, the game runs fine, the problem is that everyone needs to use better thermal paste and blow the mounds of excessive dust from your HSF like Gandalf browsing ancient vellum manuscripts. And there's definitely no shilling going on here at all, btw, these responses all come from hopeful A+ Certified geniuses, the PhD's of these fora.

If your CPU is ever at 95C that's a problem with your hardware. Try new thermal paste.

Yup. I have plans to check it. But as I mentioned in previous comments, my laptop is known to run hot, and the Ryzen 7 CPU I have is said to average about 90 or so. 95 is a bit too high for me, which is why I'm taking a break til there's a patch.

buy a laptop cooler will fix alot of problems. I have one myself for my router I plug it into the usb port on the back of my router/modem and 2-3 fans blow on it all day keeping it a good 10 degree cooler than normal I 've always work in tech support and people have blamed all sorts of random issues without thinking that having their router sitting on top of their hot always on electronics such as their cable box or tv in small cubby hole is a not a great idea. Same idea for laptops, they may have lap in their name but the lap is not a good place for a computer it needs to be on top of an material that can flow heat away from it fabrics/wood are bad for this and shouldnt be used for extended periods

The one I have has 5 fans in it. Four smaller ones and one large one. It moves a decent amount of air as well. But the issue is that the ASUS TUF series is notoriously badly designed when it comes to airflow. The fans move the heat from around the body of the laptop, and they do help, but not the internal heat, which is the issue.
