X4 Timelines - Impeded Extraction - Maxing out GPU?

Post by Poobah »

I'm not sure what it is but I look at the big glowy (nebula? field? fog?) in the middle of the sector that I'm supposed to go through and my GPU heats up like crazy, fans max out... it doesn't actually kill the framerate as such but it certainly stresses my GPU a lot and I don't like it. I've noticed a few other... questionable graphics load situations (notably the totally uncapped fps leading to a maxed out 1K+ fps on loading screens and the Mission Director floaty shiny ball with high reflections) and managed to mitigate them but can't figure out what setting I need to turn off or down to have this mission not turn my graphics card into a very noisy and inefficient room heater.

Otherwise enjoying the game a lot so far as I'm learning the ropes.

Thanks!

We can't really help without any more info.

Can you upload your DxDiag and your vulkaninfo?
Additionally things like your config.xml, and a video of the issue would be helpful.

If you need help obtaining and uploading those, please read the first topic at the top of the Tech Support forum titled "Technical Support Requests - Please read this before posting!" :)
