Unplayable lag everywhere.

Could you attach your Player.log file and some save files representative of this issue? It's surprising that the main menu would lag, which leads me to wonder if it's a system configuration issue. Is your graphics driver up to date?

Yes, I am running the current amd driver.  I attached a zip file with the log and other requested files in it to the original report.  Though I don't see that file anywhere.

Player.log

Here is the overlay of the amd software, you can see the huge loss in fps in the graph.  The large spike is going from not in focus, aka minimized, to in focus, aka full screen.  You can see the fps goes from the high 100+ to below 2 and that is just sitting on the home screen.

We found the uploaded zip file (it was missing the .zip extension). We are looking into performance on various saves and I've included yours to be examined. Though upon brief inspection it should not be causing what you are reporting.

Since the issue happens on a new save and in the main menu this leads me to believe there's another issue. Try disabling the Radeon Overlay and see if that solves it. Sometimes overlays can cause issues like this.

Do you experience this with any other games?

I don't experience this in any other games.  This lag on the main screen is also very new, only since the last feature update has the main screen lagged.  It looks to me as if it's not using the gpu at all while rendering as the gpu reports no activity while the game running.

Nothing changed in the last update that should be causing this, which makes me wonder if it's just a coincidence this started happening in this update. Have you tried quitting/uninstalling the Radeon Overlay? I know other software such as MSI Afterburner and RiviaTuner have caused issues with ONI in the past.

I have not it's built into the amd graphics software, to do that I'd have to uninstall the whole thing.  I also don't normally have the overlay on just been poking at the game to see what was up.  As for the update I had played a bit the day before and it was night and day on performance.

Hi..

You can turn off Overlay on AMD.

Go to the cock-wheel (Settings) --> Preferences --> In-Game Overlay and disable it

Thanks, I tried that and it didn't make any difference.  Still single digit fps.

Let's see if we can rule out the game's configurations. Try removing Documents/Klei/OxygenNotIncluded (make a backup) to see if it's save/settings related. Try disabling all mods.

Did you recently install any Windows updates or updated your drivers?

Windows updates when it updates so I don't know.  I had just recently updated my amd driver.  I've already uninstalled all mods.  Will try to delete the settings.

Didn't seem to change anything, still sub 2 fps on the main screen.

Could you try the public_testing branch and see if it changes anything?

 

My apologies, it turns out we did have some performance issues on the main menu. The issues were introduced last November so I'm not entirely sure this will fix your issue. Please give today's update to public_testing and let me know if anything has changed.

 

I apologize for the absence in feedback.  I've been messing around with it on and off and while I can't figure out what causes it I can seem to work around it and even create it to some degree.  Here is what I've found.  This is with the current dlc release.

 

If I start the game and it is lagging I can immediately close the game down and restart my computer, it has to be restart.  Then I can launch the game from that restart with no lag, game runs a full speed.  Now if during running a game if I reload from inside a running performance declines, this will degrade the more you reload from inside running a game.  While it's still mostly playable while in a running game, it is noticeable.  Also if you return to the main menu it will have a drastic performance hit similar to starting up the game from a shutdown.  Note a computer shutdown will trigger a performance hit the next time I launch the game, only way to fix it is a restart.

In game performance is something we are actively working on and the main menu performance issues should be fixed. This sounds like more an issue with your system configuration. Try disabling Game Mode and adjusting the power settings to High Performance. I also recommend uninstalling the AMD software and see if that helps.
