Optimization / Performance

4Peace shared this bug ago

Solved

I don’t have the worst PC — a 5 GHz 8-core CPU, DDR5, and a 3060 Ti.

To be able to play the game, I have to lower the resolution to 1080p and use medium-to-low graphics settings, with no ray tracing or fancy features. After some fine-tuning I can reach around 40–50 FPS, but at that point the game looks worse than SE1.

When playing in Creative with absolutely nothing in the scene - basically empty space - the GPU is still working very hard.

When pressing TAB to open the menu, it can take several seconds.

There are also many micro-freezes, so even if the game runs near 60 FPS, it still doesn’t feel smooth.

Overall, optimization is my number one issue right now. I understand it’s in alpha, and I’m happily reporting all the other bugs I find, but the game isn’t very playable with this level of performance.

I have the same bug

Hello 4Peace,

Do you still encounter these performance issues on current Game version: 2.0.2.51? Could you please provide your Game logs?

You can find them here:

C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers2\Temp\Logs

They will look like this:

Hello,

I can confirm that performance has been improved. Opening menus is much faster now.

It tends to degrade over time though.

For example, when I just loaded the game, I have around 85–90 FPS, but if I fly elsewhere and then come back to the same place again, the FPS drops to around 65–70 FPS. It seems like some more resources have been loaded into the game and are not liberated effectively. It tends to degrade even further, so I usually relaunch the game from time to time to have a better performance.

Hello 4Peace,

That's great to hear! I will close this thread as such. Please note that we are constantly improving the Game's performance with some of the fixes should shipped as a part of Vertical Slice 2.2 release.

If you will still experience performance drops after the release of Vertical Slice 2.2, please create a new thread.

Kind Regards,
