Bug/Issue Low FPS

I was getting 25-30 fps. In v1.0 its get 2-3 fps why ? How can i fix it

 

moved to starbound support

 

I was told that the 1.0 update would optimize the game but now I lose 20-30 fps every time I hit an enemy, I've never played a game this unstable, and the worst part is now it's finally released and I and many others still feel like we have an unfinished product.

 

Game need to optimize the game for low computers. I'm playing the game for 1 years and now i cant play... Its too bad

 

Same here. Totally unplayable.

 

Okay, so, I have a laptop with an R5 graphics card, quad core processor, and 12GB of RAM. Game runs suuuuper slow for me. Past versions had the frameskip option, but it's lacking in this version for some reason.

However, if you open the config file for the game, and above the line: "maxPlayers" : 8,

Add this line: "maxFrameSkip" : 10,

It'll speed it up. Feel free to play with the amount of frames you skip. 10 works great for me, but might be a bit high for some people. So far, it seems to have sped up my game a lot. Hope it works for others!

 

Whats frameskip

 

Whenever I try that, it just resets the config file thus it doesn't work (for me at least)

 

That's odd. Didn't reset it for me. :\

It skips rendering frames, which speeds it up on slower machines. If you don't skip the frames, it renders really slow and it's like you're underwater.

 

Everything resets basically. When I add that in the config and start the game, it resets the config file and gives them the standard values.

 

I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be doing that. I dunno how to stop it, but I haven't had it reset any of my settings. Maybe try deleting the config file, then running the game, let it create a new one, close the game, change the values, and see?

 

Which is what I tried after I noticed it was resetting the values. Didn't help at all.
EDIT: Are you sure the command is indeed "maxFrameSkip" or is it something else?

 

I get enough frames in most places i can enjoy it, and my PC is old as dirt. One thing that hurts though is the erchius mine mission, first time it crashed when i tried it, 2nd time it loaded in but the world took ages to load in and frames where horrible. It eventualy did load in and i finished it fine. Surprisingly the outpost isn't as bad anymore and the navigation screen loads fast now. So some optimization for the missions is needed from what iv seen so far(im not too far along yet though, other missions i have yet to see)

 

I pulled it directly from the config file in the giraffe_storage folder that's still, for some reason, part of the install. Here's my config file:

But it's just starbound that does this for me, in no other game I have played do frames drop like they do here

 

Tried this. Before, I tried to put the frameskip line and also change vsync to false. Nothing of this worked for me. Before the 1.0 the game rans way more smooth. I just cannot understand why this happens.

 

this is ridiculous. the frame rate is so bad even the most basic of monsters are killing me because the game isn't responding quickly enough. c'mon chucklefish, lets fix this so i can actually play

 

Looky what we have here -3-

Game need to Graphic Settings for Low computers. Need to remove graphics , particles , shadows , backgrounds. Now i cant play this game. I'm waiting optimization. I have Pentium Dual Core 3.0ghz Mothercard and Onboard Graphic Card. Now i cant play. Its too bad

 

Hotfix went out already, nothing about performance optimization.
