Severe performance issue

Post by Jumpygrizzly »

Hello,
Bought the game the on GOG, and having a lot of fun except for the following issue.

Playing on 1.21, english
Game start : Yes

So the game start at 40 - 45 FPS initially for a few minutes, which is great, but gradually sink to huge lows (10-15FPS) especially around asteroids, my station, or near or on big stations (trading station or warfs).
Also, inevitably, after 1 hour or so, the UI start to miss some text, on the map and trader menu.The map also miss some textures and white buggy textures appears.

Playing on minimum preset

Now, my set up isn't great : ACER laptop
GPU ; Geforce GTX 960M, 4g VRAM : Not top of the line, but drivers are up to date, and can run a majority of games on medium-low setting
CPU : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6300HQ CPU @ 2.30GHz ; 2cores, low, but can supposedly overclock at 3.2Ghz
8GB of ram
W10, 64 bits

Also, to point out ;
Can't switch resolution size (can't go to a 1370-700 resolution which would help FPS), stuck at 1920x1080p, since when i change it , it freezes for a few seconds at the new setting, then revert back after a time, but stays frozen.

Anyways, i don't mind playing on very low, or low settings, but i would hope for above 30FPS on a pretty constant basis in this case. I can for example run AC Odyssey on the lowest setting at 40-50FPS, and had a lot of fun

I would be sad if stuck at this point, so if there is something I can change for better performance or if there is an other issue that i can fix, please let me now please
:)

Try disabling the NVIDIA sound device in Device Manager.
