I installed it because of the free flight that ends tomorrow and it ran horrible on my nvme ssd, I'm talking about freezes when traveling 5-10 fps in space, 30-40 while in the hub, funny thing is that I think it ran better years ago when I was again testing it for a free flight with my Nvidia GPU

So two reasons either it's a me issue because I have an AMD GPU though yet again, I don't think so.

Or it's still really unoptimized, which is a shame because I really like the premise of the game, I like the scale of it and it did things better than Starfield.

    I don't know if this is still a thing, but a while back it was actually better to run the game on high settings even if your PC normally doesn't handle high settings well. I don't remember exactly why that was the case, but it worked.

    As a long time player, its probably settings. Which isn't your fault.

    This shit is optimized like a snail in an f1 race, it just doesn't work. Turning clouds up is actually a viable way to get the game to run well, its super cpu bound, so if you turn up some settings it offloads some of that work to the gpu, freeing up some fps.

    In my experience it plays way better now, but SC is a cranky bitch and its a free flight, never played a free flight that plays well, usually because players who don't know what they are doing clutter environments with busted ships, trash and more.
