Terrible Stuttering/FPS

skeedledorph · February 3, 2018, 11:45pm

Hey, I started a new game of Sunless Sea to finish up exploring the stuff I never got to in the base game and Zubmariner. I’ve been having a great time with the story, but getting between ports is sort of miserable due to horrible framerate and graphics stuttering :(

I have a computer that is without a doubt able to run the game. I don’t have integrated graphics on my CPU (Ryzen 5), so I couldn’t have accidentally set it to that. I have a GTX 1060 and 16gbs of ram, so I’m not concerned about that at all either. I played the game on an older, less powerful computer right after the zubmariner release, and had no problems like this whatsoever. I’ve tried every combination of graphics + UI the game has just in case there was something weird going on there. I even tried switching to the unity beta and disabling the Steam overlay for the game, still nothing.

If anyone has a potential fix for this, or has had the same issue and managed to resolve it, I’d be suuuuper appreciative. I love the game, but it’s just painful to watch my ship twitch around when I really want to just relax and zail around :(

edit: whoops, I forgot all about build + output log. Here they are: Output log is attached, and I played on versions v2.2.3.3134 and v2.2.2.3130. Both versions had stuttering, and I also forget to mention that it got much worse when in combat around islands (presumably the game generating the line of sight for the combat indicator?)
