Bug/Issue Major lag when attempting to play

I agree, but I have a bad feeling they're going to want to fix the small bugs first.

 

Have you seen anything from Chucklefish that indicates they are still working on optimization?

 

I'm having the very same issue as you OP!
I could run SB perfectly fine with 0 issues/no lag until the most recent update. Which is a shame because it's getting SO COOL.

 

I'm having this issue as well. Tends to happen most during missions and on highly populated planets. Resolution doesn't seem to affect the issue, and I've tried all the different 'fixes'.

2.9 GHz Intel Core i5
16 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB

 

To maintain clarity, the issue we are seeing doesn't happen during a mission or when there are a lot of NPCs present. It is happening immediately after character creation. If we push through the graduation ceremony, it is still just as laggy on the ship with no NPCs present.

 

I would appreciate some level of acknowledgement from the dev team, a moderator, or other representative either that I will receive assistance with an issue which renders the game unplayable or at least that they are still actively working on optimization. Thanks!

 

I appreciate the reply, thank you!

Are you able to provide a link to where it has been stated that the issue is acknowledged and that they are working on updates which will include fixes for it?

CPU usage when playing Starbound is around 20% or so. I'm not entirely sure how to check the GPU usage.

 

Indeed, I can appreciate that it would be unreasonable for the dev team to reply to each individual topic. However, at this stage no one has been able to actually cite a source indicating the developers are aware of the issues or a source indicating that an update is being worked on to address the issues.

Frustration is mounting since we can find no indication the issues are being acknowledged and there appears to be no official support avenue other than these forums.

 

I still would greatly appreciate some level of acknowledgement from the devs that this issue is known and will be worked on. Thanks!

 

We managed to "fix" ours by forcing a driver update on the Intel HD Graphics 3000 and running it from the folder instead of through steam.

 

I'm also getting huge lag issues The lag was quite bad before it came out of beta. Initially the performance was improved (improved, not solved) by the update but that didn't last long. I'm able to run very demanding games (like Witcher 3 etc) on my machine just fine, so I'm confused as to why this game would be lagging. I think the lag REALLY started getting bad when I started encountering colonies and accepting quests from them. Now, I can hardly move when there are multiple NPCs on my screen, and the lag comes and goes even when there aren't NPCs, to the point where it's almost unplayable (map takes 5-10ish seconds to load, creatures freeze mid air, game sometimes crashes). I'm so sad because I was enjoying the release so much and I want to build a huge colony, but I just can't enjoy building at the moment because I can hardly move around the screen. I really hope they fix this ASAP! Devs please have mercy

Edit: To clarify, the lag exists whether I have active NPC quests or not. The list can be completely clear and I still have lag issues.
