Oxygen Not Included Lag

[Chrisperos]

completely new to this site, and im not sure if anyone actually "important" to ONI's devolopment will see this. But i have just a few simple things to say.

This is definitely insensitive and controversial... But stop doing content updates. Please. For the love of god. Theres way too many games that are amazing, and continously update with new content, and completely ignore even the slightest amount of optimization and become entirely unplayable like, KSP or Stellaris. I bought ONI "Spaced Out!" and love it, and im genuinely impressed with it. (except radbolts, but thats for another time...) But im BARELY even capable of really exploring it to its fullest potential because the game is just too laggy. Even without the DLC, ive played the game for over 1000 hours and have only ever gotten to the Space Age once, and only ever built a single rocket, because i keep restarting once the game INEVITABLY reaches 5-19 frames per second... I have a ryzen 9 5950X 16 core, ONI uses like 15% of my CPU, and nothing from my GPU, its just sad. i physically cannot enjoy ONI, and a load of anything new thats currently being added to the game, and will be added in the future. Ive never even used sweepy cause he freezes for half an entire cycle whenever a dupe walks past him, plus many other extremely annoying bugs and glitches caused by extremely poor peformance during late game.

Maybe an absolutely enormous optimization/bug fix update "that will solve everyones problems!" is in the works already, and if it is atleast make that really public, ATLEEAAST give me and many other people hope that mid/late game ONI wont forever be this unobtainable 'dream.' but in my opinion the content in ONI is already so unbelievably vast, and if the devolopers really want players to enjoy their game currently legit, just take like 3+ months optimizing the game and fixing bugs, not even adding a single new thing to the game.

 

Side note, some how just found out ONI "fully released" in 2019, this "Optimization update" is a bit WAAAAY over due.

I'm no expert, but I have a feeling this could be just be a memory issue.

Therw were a few optimization patches already before the dlc. Some of them helped a bit. Recently some changes lowered the performance again. Since it was kinda recent i think they might be working on some fixes on performance (like the long loading research tab issue that was tackled recently) but the dlc is deep in work and creates other issues like crashes and bugs that need fixing right away.

I`m sure they`ll try to improve performance but it seems pretty hard to do looking at their previous attempts. Might be the fault of the game engine but i`m not an expert here.
