Huge FPS drop at RES/Stations

o7 Cmdrs! I'm posting this here since I've been having this problem for some time now, and could not fix it myself. I've already opened an issue (https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/43798), it's a repost as per FD orientation. If you're having this as well, please feel free to add your info to the issue.

Basically you get FPS drops from the order of 65% when at a RES for longer than 30 - 45 mins, when entering station or when processing lots of FX.

Horizons only.

I suspect it may have something to do with the DirectX version or optimization, but I don't know....

The FPS at a RES is a known issue that has been like that for years, so don't waste any effort hoping that it will get fixed soon. It's nothing to do with DirectX, graphics capability or settings. It's simply the way the programming is done. If you jump out and back in again, it resets back to normal. My guess is that a data file or memory access becomes more and more fragmented or something like that. Station's FPS is a different issue.

Well yeah, but they closed the older ticket as fixed!!! FD should know it's not fixed, and, that at least for me, it's gonna be very hard to continue playing if it stays like this. I can't buy another PC! It's gonna be garbage for this game unfortunately...

How can they say it's fixed. It's one of the few problems that's 100% repeatable. All you have to do is park a shield tank turreted ship in a low RES with some cargo in it, go down to the pub, and when you come back you will see massive stuttering - worse than the worst settlement in Odyssey. Go to sleep, and when you wake up in the morning, the game will be nearly stationary.
