Significant FPS drop during split-screen play after several in-game days (PS5)

Hello,
I’d like to report a recurring performance issue that appears during split-screen play in Don’t Starve Together.

After several in-game days, the FPS starts to drop significantly, and the problem worsens as the base grows and the number of placed structures increases. Eventually, the performance drop becomes severe enough to noticeably hinder gameplay — even on smaller worlds, not only large ones.

I’ve already mentioned this issue in a previous post, but I decided to report it here as well so it could receive additional attention. It seems that the performance degradation is tied to world progression and player-built structures rather than the initial world size.

Could the team please look into this? Split-screen performance has a big impact on the enjoyment of local co-op play.

Thank you for your time and for your continued support of Don’t Starve Together!

Kind regards,
Arkadiusz 


Steps to Reproduce

1. Start a new world and enable split-screen co-op.


2. Play for several in-game days while building a base and placing multiple structures (crock pots, chests, farms, etc.).


3. Observe that FPS begins to drop gradually after a few days of gameplay.
 

4. Continue expanding the base — performance continues to decline over time, regardless of world size.

On day 100 with my partner it takes ages to load up the gave , way longer then a PS4 version. When one of us is heading down to the caves the other one is literally moving in slow motion. We are talking 10-20 FPS

On top of that when both players are near to each other but outside of the visible area , the pointer only has a boundary on the sides to indicate which way is the other player. If he is above or below , then the pointer is outside of the screen making it very disorienting to find each other  

Major optimisation issues. Barely playable
