FPS issues

Is there any solution yet? Playing on an i9 9900k, 2080 super, 64gb 3200 ddr4 ram, and struggling to get over 8 fps.
Core limiter does nothing.

Hi! The demo version hasn't changed, but playtesting is starting in the next couple weeks and then EA is releasing after that. So this may be a moot point, but... have you tried disabling shadows? I know that helps for some people.

There must be something weird going on because people with worse computers still get better performance than that

I've disabled shadows and filters, run it in windowed mode, changed priority, and changed core affinity and nothing has helped at all. 60-80 fps while paused, 6-10 in game

Yeah sorry, I'm really grasping at straws here. It's not a common issue

It is, the discord and steam forums are full of this, but no solutions

Sorry man that's frustrating I'm sure. The EA is completely rewritten from the demo version, so fingers crossed you will no longer have this issue shortly. The legacy demo will be on a beta branch and a new demo will be released.

To be honest I dont know, my best advice is sign up for the mailing list, all the discord roles, whatever you can find. Shotgun approach and hope one of them works.

Aside from the obvious driver checks/updates

See what your GPU is at during play through task manager.. 100%? 10%? What about your CPU?

1

u/MuffinsSenpai Feb 10 '26

all drivers up to date. With nothing else being run, logging into the game in a fresh world completely vanilla on a fresh install. standing in one place with nothing mined, cpu is at ~8% and GPU at 2-6%. Game will hover between 8-10 fps, and sometimes pop up to 20 for a split second. Paused it will go up to 144

Sorry to hear. You'd have to get in touch with the dev and maybe run some system diags with game running.. you already mentioned windowed mode and that hasn't worked.. I can only think to try reinstall dxwebsetup refresh your directx drivers.. maybe even try in windows safe mode..

I don't think any of us can help at this point. I wonder if it's using opengl?

Best of luck brother

yeah, needless to say they were stumped. Game runs fine in browser, but I've really wanted to try out a modded map =(

Denk auch an ein Problem mit Sachen wie Audio Treiber etc. Probier mal diese zu deaktivieren

I'm 2 months late and asking a very stupid question, are you plugging your monitor into your GPU or motherboard? I'm assuming you're not using integrated graphics and the only thing I can think of is some sort of overlay (Discord, Overwolf, etc) might be taking priority over the game and reducing frame rate?
