I am encountering very very poor performance under certain conditions in the game, usually a slideshow at less than 1 frame per second.
It happens when:
1. Any drones or missiles have been launched, but inconsistently - sometimes it's perfectly fine no problems, and other times a single drone brings the game to its knees.
2. When a large number of lasers (20+) focus fire on a single target
3. When railguns with flak payloads fire any number of shots
4. When engagements take place at distances >200km and lasers or missiles start being used (projectiles aside from railgun payloads seem to cause 0 issues)
System specs:
Ryzen 2700x @4.35ghz
GTX660 GPU
16GB DDR4 3600mhz RAM
500GB Samsung 850 SSD
Windows 10
I suspect I'm encountering a couple bugs - something to do with AI target lead prediction possibly. And something very wrong with how lasers are interacting with things - I had one ship where I could reliably stop the performance hit by turning the lasers off or rotating fast enough that they couldn't track the target and didn't fire. It might be entirely a laser issue. I really hope it's not something hardware specific.
