The fps issues are definitely real. The game starts with default settings, and on my rig (i5 6600K + 980Ti so not really shabby) it was unplayable. Setting the fps limit up from 30 to 60 does appear to have helped, but it still stutters. After playing for about 45 minutes I found myself getting fps nausea so will have to mess with FOV settings to find something more comfortable. Not sure if it's the stuttering that's contributing, but I'm susceptible to it normally anyway so probably just me.
As to the game, it doesn't do much to help you figure out what you need to do (e.g. crafting, installing modules). I've managed to repair my ship but still searching for Plutonium to power it up -- seems hard to come by on my starting planet.

Are you confusing me with somebody else? If not you are certainly reading far too much into it, all I said was that it isn't a space sim, it never was advertised as one so I don't see why you are disappointed that it isn't one. Get over it and move on.

I never said it was and I never said I was disappointed about it..... you have implied all of this. That is what I meant by 'Get a grip'.

Stop the personal tiff please.
Talk about the game.

A 6 year old CPU is still pretty archaic even in this day and age where hardware lasts longer. Bottom line is if they are using those instructions and your CPU doesn't have it then that's hardly the fault of the dev.
Horizons only runs on 64bit for example and doesn't even run on a Mac because Apple are idiots.
At some point upgrades are necessary.
There are apparently some reviews that contradict each other on steam.
One reviewer with an 1080 gtx raported having FPS issues, one of he positive reviews has the same card and affirms having no less than 70 FPS, do you think that sony is adding artificial good reviews ?
Apparently there has been a patch recently, anyone can confirm ?

Been playing for a few hours now. The game is pretty fun, but the performance is woeful. Stutters, freezes and horrendous pop-in everywhere, even a few crashes. It takes a lot away from the experience. The PG is not at all silky smooth and polished like ED.
Also the HUD does not scale properly for 21:9 (it gets stretched), which is a big oversight.

My apologises if that is aimed at me.
Yes, but Elite advertises that you need 64bit OS for Horizons. Sean just tweeted that min specs aren't good enough because you need OpenGL4.5, which the listed min-spec GPUs dont support. That kinda defeats the point of min specs, they might as well have said 386 and 4mb EDO ram.
Well, I've got 92 minutes in it now. I've done lots of mining, repaired my ship, jumped to a new system, met a couple of aliens, done some buying and selling on the galactic market and I'm bored already. Yes, it's massive. Vast. Humongous even, but as ED already taught us, size isn't everything. The mechanics of the game are extremely simple and very repetitive. Flying the ship feels horrible, navigating from one system to another is point and click, the graphics are pretty poor with some very blurry AA (I'm using SS x 4 which is the highest available) and the textures are a bit 2010. Framerate is fine (GTX 980, i7 4790k, 16GB RAM) but there are constant stutters and hitches. Considering a refund but I'm past the 1 hour mark so might not get one but this is not a £39.99 AAA title. If it was £15, I would probably hold on to it, but at £40 it's way overpriced. I won't say it's a "bad" game, it's just been over hyped and overpriced.
"do you think that Sony is adding artificial good reviews ?". A 1080 gtx with FPS issues displaying NMS? Frankly it is more likely that that the 1080 gtx owner has replaced the CPU with a slice of cheddar cheese than a 1080 gtx is getting less than 70 fps with NMS.
And alot of recent games didt even required only SSE 4.1...so again, my processor is doing fine performance wise. Its not my fault if NMS is ignoring a good 25% of AMD useres on Steam...and complelty ignore the AMD problems.
Just picked up my copy. Finally a reason to switch on a console lol - and if it turns out to be not my kind of thing, the GF might like it.
Total Biscuit runs a 1080, and he reported drops of frame rate to around 10 FPS, do you think he's lying ?
More likely explanation: it's an extremely shoddy port from PS4.
Steam gives refunds until the 2 hour mark.

Upped the limit to 90 fps and now much smoother. Something seems to be wrong with the limiter.
