I’m running into a persistent and repeatable performance degradation bug. When I start a realm and I’m on the ship, it runs fine up until the captain tell me to go to my quarters. When I enter the ship, there is a chest in the first room and if I open that chest, the game slows down to a slide show. I tried skipping the chest at one point and the game slowed down a few minutes later while breaking some barrels in the hull of the ship. I have thus far been unable to get to the first save point without the game slowing down to an unplayable 1 frame per 30 seconds or worse level of performance. On top of that, whenever I even touch the K&M my controller disconnects and will not reconnect while the game is running.
My game consistently crashes moments into loading. I followed the laborious bug reporting steps in the pinned post, went to submit and it is impossible. You hard block the reporting of bugs without attaching file types that you forbid in the upload. Is that why no bugs have been submitted in a year or so? Is this a joke? I’m refunding on steam.
Doesn’t look like it’s that other issue, though I did have very long stutters/freezes the first time I played when I zoned from the starting ship deck to the room with the first treasure chest. It kept freezing, giving me maybe a quarter of a second of normal fps every 10 seconds or so. After that I updated all drivers: CPU, GPU, even BIOS. After updating and trying again, I’ve gotten hard crashes. First was after 10 seconds or so walking around on the deck of the first ship, crash to desktop. I tried again and it crashed to desktop just trying to load in. Hope this helps,
