I just ran a settlement mission, and the settlement had drills, and my FPS dropped from 60FPS everywhere else in game to under 20 FPS. Elsewhere, though, it is fine.... getting between 50-60FPS in station concourses, for example. Running settings between Ultra and High (used Nvidia GeForce Experience optimized settings).

Update 5 Performance Thread
- Thread starter BlackMaze
- Start date
Since update 5 dropped I've been getting some serious FPS drops in settlements, and it's not consistent. It'll be perfectly fine one minute then suddenly drop into single digits the next before recovering again.
edit: it seems consistent with what people earlier in the thread were saying about it happening when ships arrive at the settlements.
This is particularly galling because up until this point odyssey had been performing fine for me. GG Fdev, you managed to make the game unplayable even for the people who weren't having problems before.

I have this since the server restart on friday... before it was fine.
Yeah, I've got some other videos uploaded of me having a blast in odyssey, but tonight?
I was getting this. Watch the FPS counter, the real jank begins after around 1:30.
There appears to be two main issues currently:
1. Low consistent frame rates. This can sometimes be temporarily alleviated with Super Sampling at below 1.0 and using the AMD FidelityFX CAS option though I'd hate to rely on this as a fix for low consistent frame rates.
2. The main issue for me is that I can get reasonable frame rates and then all of a sudden it drops. If I then exit to the main menu and reload (ie to the same area) then the fps returns to normal. I remember this same thing happened when Horizons first launched (with the new planet tech) when driving on planets where things would start off ok and then degrade over time and you'd need to reload the game to return to previous frame rates. They eventually fixed this. Seems like some sort of regression in the engine.

Ok, so after this, I jumped over to a settlement my faction just won in a war. I also dropped down some settings (terrain material quality, ambient occlusion, and FX quality) as one my squad mates suggested. I was getting 45fps in this 2nd settlement (Collins Chemical, Goansi system), which was anywhere from 20-35 FPS better than the other settlement I was in previously.
So, graphics settings and/or the type of settlement appears to impact performance, at least in my case.
The performance issue on the tracker is up for voting now…
Nice hope there will be a fix very soon!
In addition to the stuttering performance, since P2 or 3, and all the way to P5, I will get a CTD the first time I run Odyssey, guaranteed, within the first 5 minutes.
Once reloaded, it will run 'fine' (for Odyssey definitions of fine) for the rest of the play session.

Update 5 - PC
i7 7820X - 4.5GHz on all 16 Threads
64Gb RAM 3200 Quad-Channel 52ns Latency
Asus 3090 Strix OC
4K - Native
43-55 FPS onfoot inside station main concourse
47-57 FPS onfoot during combat CZ in a settlement
Everywhere else is above 60 fps
4K - 0.85x SMAA with AMD Fidelity FX ON [slider to the max]
Above 60 FPS onfoot inside station main concourse
53-58 FPS onfoot during combat CZ in a settlement
FPS goes over 60 stable after CZ finishes
(seems like NPC gameplay is bottlenecking game networking capabilities on a 240Megabit internet connection which is somehow causing stuttering and FPS drop)

AI is calculating on client side, no? And it eats a lot of cpu cycles. What a spaghetti code that must be.
Last minute, it drops from 40 to 8, for what?
And it has these seizures every minute.
Just some data loading from drive. Or windoze background tasks.

Any data or background task in particular? Please be more specific, you might be one to something...
No idea what exactly. Maybe you need to monitor drive and system processes activity when those lags happen. It happened for me in other games and its turned out that its a windoze antivirus scanned something or new updates download, etc.
So, Update 5 brings a lot of great on the table, but new performance issues as well.

There are few of my videos where I am describing that issue:

Exactly :-|
This is exactly what's happening with me, and this can eventually occur anywhere(specially at big settlements), even in space some micro stuttering is happening and i didn't have any issues before this patch
Oh my, I just followed this instructions: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/some-performance-tweaks-fixes.583739/
And I am at the 80 FPS on the settlements :-O
