[Bug] Shaking Frame Drop

The best way to describe what causes this is looking at an area with a large number of objects or background effects. When looking at one of these areas, my game begins to drop to about 10-15 frames and the ship begins to rock side to side as if I were pushing the q and e keys repeat. The frame drop is not caused by a bug but rather my terrible graphics card. However, the ship rocking from side to side is rather unusual and results in further straining on my graphics card.

I first noticed this in Black Hole Sun, where looking at the sun caused the mild shaking. This was later experienced in anywhere with a large asteroid field like Grand Exchange that caused much more violent shaking. While the game is still playable, I try my hardest to avoid combat in these systems where looking at the sun/asteroid field could make me miss shots or even fire on a friendly ship/station.

If anyone else has an issue like this, the easiest way to get through is to have your relief pilot fly through the system for you and face away from the cockpit window. This allows for less rendering to be needed and increases your frames.

I will try and upload a video to YouTube and attach it in a later edit.

I have the same rocking issue when I go into sata mode. I have nvidia geforce gtx 760 card want to say 8gb ram built into it. So not my card and I have done it both with mouse control on and off. Same effect

Just a thought, try disabling auto-roll setting in game options, see if it removes the rocking.

The rocking is not intentional but it's a known side-effect of general low frame-rate. The question, therefore, is why your framerate has dropped low enough to trigger this, and the answer to that may be different for different people. The OP didn't provide any information about their system, and the other person reporting the problem just gave a graphics card model number. With proper DXDiag and vulkaninfo files, as requested in the very first thread at the top of the forum, we might have some chance of being able to give sensible advice to both people.
