Fixed Terrible unplayable performance while using AMD GPU

Edit:
Please supply the following information using the template to help us in being able to examine & benchmark the reported issue:

- Try to make a comparison to a location in A11.5 that is the same or similar to a location in A12 & state the FPS difference:


- If possible record some video with the FPS counter ON in a location where it gets bad for you or a screenshot with the FPS counter ON (press F8 for the FPS counter):


- Attach or link to a save game with your character left standing in the location where the FPS drops are worst:

For SP or Co-op:
SteamLibrary\steamapps\Common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Saves\Games

For MP:
SteamLibrary\steamapps\Common\Empyrion - Dedicated Server\Saves\Games

1. Right click on the save folder & place your mouse cursor over 'Send to' create a compressed copy of it (or use winzip or 7zip)
2. Drag & drop a copy in your reply box or use the upload a file option on the forum.
3. If the folder is too large use a file hosting site like mediafire, dropbox or google drive & add a share link to it

- A screenshot of your video options:


- Attach a copy of your client log & a dxdiag:

Spoiler: Click on this spoiler to expand & see more information

Client log location:
Right click on Empyrion in your steam library > Properties > Local files > Browse local files > Logs - then make a compressed copy of the folder which is named by the build number you are on (or use winzip or 7zip)

Create a dxdiag file:
In Windows 7:

• Click on the "Start" Button.
• In the Search Box type dxdiag and press <Enter>. The DirectX Diagnostic Tool pop-up window should appear.
• Click on “Save all Information.”
• Save the information to your Desktop, keep the file name as is.

In Windows 8, Windows 10:

• Press the [Windows]+[R] keys on your keyboard to bring up the Run command.
• In the "Run" command box, type in dxdiag and press <Enter>. The DirectX Diagnostic Tool pop-up window should appear.
• Click on "Save all Information." Save the information to your Desktop, keep the file name as is.

Then attach both of these as compressed to your reply

Summary: It seems that everyone using a AMD GPU is having terrible performance while playing the new Alpha 12.

Description: There seems to be a problem with the way the terrain/textures are being rendered on this new alpha while using a AMD GPU causing it to have huge performance problems. While staying inside buildings the performance is quite acceptable (still bad)but if the player looks outside to the terrain, or leaves a building the performance drops to single digits or close to it.

Here too.

GFX settings and resolution make no difference at all. Tried 'fast' " 1280x720 (which oddly make its worse), 'best' at 2560x1440.

Severity: Show stopper, and yet no comment/response?

 

Hello, seems not only AMD GPU.

My System:

MSI Tomahawk B450, AMD R5 2600, 16GB Aegis 3000Mhz@2933(CL16), Gainward GTX 1070 Phönix, WIN 10 x64 Pro.

Most Problems ar in Area of Polaris/Talon. Than my FPS drops from 60 to 20. Rain is an other Problem.
I use Medium/Max Settings.

 

One of the people I play co-op with has major problem with Rain, but I think that is a different problem as is present in 1n 11.5 and he has an nVidia GPU (cant remember which, might be the same, he also has an AMD CPU).

 

Hi everyone! I have a RX 5700 XT and no probs here. Runs like previous build. Latest drivers and amd CPU too.

 

Up

Updated the 1st post with 2 videos which both show the same graphical settings, the dxdiag and log as requested!

 

I'm having the exact same problems, a comparison between the 2 versions sees a nearly a 55 fps drop.

Looking up at the sky i'm getting 120+ frames, down at the ground 36fps and at the horizon 18fps. Changing quality presets also has no effect on frame rate.

I'll try and get video later.

Summary: I noticed this any time I looked down at the ground. Looked like the ground texture got some extra detailing with the help of some parallax occlusion mapping. I could be wrong of course but that seemed to be the problem from what I saw. Also seemed to get progressively better over time and then plateaued

Sorry forgot about that! Just uploaded it!

That happens to me too.
I have managed to climb from 9fps to 15fps by passing the Rx560 board configuration from manual to automatic mode.
Changing the graphics settings of the game has no effect.
I also verify that when entering a building the fps rise considerably (45fps)

One more observation - playing 11.5 my GFX card fans spin up to high as soon as I am on planet, on 12 although card temps are similar the fans stay pretty much at idle.

 

Not the new 12.0.1 2879 release I take it? - a later one?
