drastic frame rate drops after several minutes

David N. Cohen shared this bug 15 months ago
Won't Fix

After several minutes of normal frame rates for my PC, there will be frequent dips into the single digits. I've updated my NVIDIA drivers like the support page recommended but the other recommendations don't really apply (I don't have an integrated graphics card, for example, only a 3090). Is there anything else to try besides uninstalling and reinstalling?

Hello, David,

thanks for reaching our forum with your problem that you are experiencing.

Can you please specify more? Does it happen every time that you play? Do you play online or offline? Do you do something special (like turning thrusters on, engines, using hydrogen... )? Is the behavior the same in every (saved) game? Do you experience it e.g. in Empty world where there are no grids etc.? Can you try? Are you using mods? If yes, does the behavior gets better when you play without any mods in the game?

Please try these workarounds:

  • Verify your game files in Steam – right click on Space Engineers in Steam Library → Properties → Local Files → Verify Integrity of Game Files
  • Delete SpaceEngineers.cfg file (it means your game configuration will be deleted) – you can access your SpaceEngineers.cfg by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineers.
  • Delete ShaderCache folder – same access as above
  • Back up your whole Space Engineers Roaming folder and delete it
  • Restart Steam
  • Reinstall VC Redist 2017
  • Update graphic drivers
  • Reinstall the game
  • Make sure your operating system is fully updated

Please let me know if anything from the list helped you on your side. If no and you still would be experiencing this issue, can you please supply my log from the game as well as from Windows event viewer?

You can access your log files by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineers.

For the Windows event viewer, please follow steps written here.

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards

Hello, Engineer!

Because there is no new comment from you, and we are unable to reproduce the issue on our own, I will close this thread now as outdated.

If you or any other player will experience this issue again, please make a new thread and provide all needed info there.

Thank you for understanding.

Kind Regards
