That’s because it is a scam, full stop. The game will never leave alpha. It’s been 13 years, what you see is all you’re gonna get. They’ll keep releasing several hundred dollar ship “DLC”s every year or so just to keep the money flowing, but they’ll never deliver a finished product. Damn shame too.
I installed it because of the free flight that ends tomorrow and it ran horrible on my nvme ssd, I'm talking about freezes when traveling 5-10 fps in space, 30-40 while in the hub, funny thing is that I think it ran better years ago when I was again testing it for a free flight with my Nvidia GPU
So two reasons either it's a me issue because I have an AMD GPU though yet again, I don't think so.
Or it's still really unoptimized, which is a shame because I really like the premise of the game, I like the scale of it and it did things better than Starfield.
It's really unoptimised. From what I could gather, it's CPU bottlenecking massively.
This is speculative on my part, but I doubt it's coincidental that SC engine development started before it was 100% standard to assume your user would have a multi-core processor.
