    Sadly my gamebox is in the living room so since I didn't have my headset on, no warning for me ... meh not worried about it... just getting excited as Tiy has not failed us yet and will make this slight hiccup worth our while i'm sure :)
     

  2. Yikes. If you're on singleplayer, there needs to be a way to really pause the game...

    I had this world-not-loading problem already before the patch in single player when using energy dash or smth. similar :/

    Didn't have problems before; now, performance is absolutely shot in a lot of areas.

    I'd really like them to speed up chunk loading, I mean, how am I supposed to fast travel when I have to wait for the planet to load every 2-3 seconds?

    Sometimes when just roaming a planet, or loading into my spaceship the FPS can take quite a hit for a few seconds.

    And I'm running a pretty decent rig myself, Intel i7 4770k 3.4ghz, EVGA GTX 770 SC, 16GB 1600mhz DDR3 RAM

    I don't have stutter per see but randomly mobs start moving in slow motion and things like their death animation and interacting with drops get really slow.
     

  8. That... is stutter.

    I understood stutter as random FPS drops, which i am not having(had a few patches back).

    I just made a post about this glad its not on my end. I wish that I seen this before I spent 10-15 hours trying to fix the problem and starting a new post on the forums.

    For sure they haven't changed the copper spawn rate. I have more gold than copper, on the first planet.
     
  12. That's not what we're talking about, and that's luck-of-the-draw. Gotta love random generation.

    Yeah. Speaking about stutter it has always happened to me. Hit a mob mid air and everything lags out.
     
  14. What sort of rig do you have? Mine runs modern full 3D games on high/ultra with no hiccups. Quad-core processor, Higher end Radion Sapphire graphics card, and 4 gig ram. This stutter is happening on high quality systems now, not just the lower grade. Like I said, I think the optimization got bugged.

    Strangely, this stuttering didn't happen AT ALL in multiplayer...
     

  16. I'm experiencing it in both...

    this game has chuncks like minecraft does , only difference is your whole screen is like a chunk , while minecraft load 16x16 chucks around u
     
  18. Yeeeeeah... Except it's not at all like minecraft's chunks. And your statement doesn't really add anything. It doesn't answer the question of "why is it so much more preventable with this patch"...

    Minecraft is Voxel based, in a 3D environment where the chunks are a 16x16 block zone from base to sky-limit. Chunk loading in minecraft is increadibly small, the game doesn't keep chunks active but about... 6-8 chunks away from the player. Even with speed potions, you shouldn't cover that kind of distance without the game registering the new chunk zones.

    Starbound is not Voxel based, it's Tile based. And it loads in quadrants. I'm not sure of the exact size of the quadrants, nor the process the game uses to load them. Bu with abilities in Starbound, it's easily doable on this patch to outrun the loading.

    I don't mean to sound snob-ish here, I really don't. But you may want to do a bit more research into the way the games work before saying things like that. From the surface it can appear the same, but even if you only look one bit deeper, the comparison doesn't match up at all.

    And you may want to spend more than 2 days looking over the forums, wiki's and other resources before jumping headfirst into bug-threads. Well informed is well armed. Take some time and learn the systems.

    Still have it ... exploited a glitch castle on a lvl10 planet with the lag .... then got me arse handed to me by a rare spawn that could move way faster then I could even with the lag ... MFer got charge ... on a side note ... should probably start a new thread ... health regen at max gear sucks the big one right now ... spend more time recovering than doing battle
     
  20. Yeah...

    Still waiting to see if they fix this optimization issue with the next patch, but so far, I've not seen any word from the Devs that they're even aware of it.
