What exactly did you do, and what's your specs?
Just disabled the shader cache. Everything maxed out at 1440p and keeping above 60fps on:
6700k 4.1 GHz
980ti EVGA supercharged
16GB DDR4
Installed to a SATA3 SSD

How did you that?
Nvidia control panel, go to manage 3d settings, prgram settings and find nms.exe in the drop down. Then just find shader cache and switch it to off.

Yes (if this not placebo) it really helps me.
I also set fps to max, disabled vsync in game and turn it on in nvidia control panel (and triple buffering). Now we need to improve IQ, it really ugly with FXXA (SSAA4x does not work)

Yep, turned it off. Buttery smooth 1080p60 now with shadows and reflections on medium. Rest is maxed out.

I can confirm that these setting completely fixes all stuttering
You also need to turn off fps limiter ingame (and enable vsync if you want 60fps lock)
6700k
Gtx1070
16gb ram
Ssd
Steam
Win 10
Runs locked @60 1080p now without stuttering as expected with this hardware

This game plays awful on my i5-760 and gtx 760. When I play in my laptop, i7 6700k and 980m it plays fine. My desktop isn't that bad, it should be able to handle this game without looking like a turd

Played about 2 hours this morning with shader cache off, getting much less stuttering, entering atmosphere still gives one stutter but i'll take that for how smooth the rest of it is now. Didn't touch the GSync setting because I don't have a GSync monitor.
Glad I'm not the only person who noticed it's rendering internally at a super low resolution, strange no one else is mentioning this!

Well the Gysnc fix didn't work, the shader cache fix didn't work...
i7 2700k, 390x, 144hz 1440p Freesync monitor. I think I would enjoy it a lot more if it actually ran well.

It's been a very long night, a lot of the team are still here though! We are currently testing fixes for older AMD Phenom CPUs + more

I threw together some cheats which should make this more fun for some of you, especially screenshotters. Use the gameplay cheats with caution. Please add to the OP.
http://deadendthrills.com/share/NMS_deadendthrills_v01.zip
F1: Infinite Jetpack
F2: Kill All Helmet FX (including scanlines, frost and all vignettes)
F3: 999 All Resources In Inventory (locks to that figure)
F12: On Foot FOV
More to come...

My game is pretty fucked.
Runs at 1 fps in the intro, then 1-22 fps in-game.
Core i7 870 3GHz
AMD 390X 8GB
8GB DDR3
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
Been looking forward to this for 3 years =[

Hm, the shader cache fix working for other AMD people? Or is this potentially an NVidia only fix?
You are a gentleman and a scholar.

Just think about how the performance will be when it actually renders at 1080p.
Eduardboon

Don't use the 30fps cap.
Yeah, I think some of the textures look bugged now and again, seems to have a weird streaming solution carried over from the PS4 which can have some low res textures still in place, but the overall game seems fully rendered at the 1440p I select.
Have you uncapped the framerate? Specs if you have?
Burgess_101
Member
Join the club mate. I get 24fps though... Lucky me.
Again, is the FPS in options set to Max? The in-game capping fucks with things.

How do I use this ? Thanks though!
The effects on screen might be causing this blurryness, maybe?

Of course.

I dont see a profile for NMS, do we need to create one?
Nice will add your post the the OP, please PM me updates as I might miss them.
What are you calling this, NMS cheat trainer?
*edit*
Actually not even sure how to use this, could you please edit your post with instructions. I'll add it to OP then, thanks
I should of clarified, I know it's not actually stuck rendering at low resolution, it just feels like it because the textures are so low quality combined with all the post-processing junk and the lame AA solutions. The visuals looking muddy overall is my issue.
I just turned the AA off for a bit and got used to the jaggies, maybe I'll try injecting SMAA with Reshade later or something.

It's just a cheat engine table. Usually steps for using such things apply. All very simple.
Yeah the first thing I did upon launching the game was set it to Borderless, switch VSync off, and uncap the framerate.
It was actually not too bad the first couple of hours. Last few have been awful though, pretty much unplayable.
I meant to post in here last night but once I got my game running decently I got lost in the world and stayed up way later than I should have. I had an incredible time on my first planet.
But when I first booted up the game I was devastated, because I was getting about 5fps with tons of hitching and stuttering and freezing. I thought there is no way I can play this game, it's unplayable. My specs:
Intel i5 750 (first gen, really old)
Gtx 750ti 4gb (just upgraded to this)
8gb ram
Ssd
Then I got reading about the tweaks and here's what worked for me:
Forcing 16x af in nvidia control panel
Forcing vsync and triple buffering in same place
In game, fps limit to max, disabled AA, AF to 1
I made sure drivers and things were up to date, rebooted the PC cuz it had been a while and warily fired the game up.
OMG it's running great! Don't have a frame rate counter but it felt smooth, at least 30 which makes me so happy! I forgot about all of my troubles and just got sucked into the world like I should have been in the first place.
So for those having trouble, I feel you and hope you have success with the tweaks like I did.

Oh boy. Could someone post screens showcasing with and without the helmet effects?
If you've booted the game before, there should be a drop down option for nms.exe. If not, just add it manually.
Yeah I'm pretty sure someone just made that up because of shader aliasing on things like windows and railings, or from the FXAA blur.

Yes, if you don't have it, just add nms.exe from game binaries folder.

On my pc the game is fine for the first 40 minutes, and then plummets to 4-5 fps.
Memory leak?
Drama Zed Nod

is it a known bug that the frame rate tanks after the first warp jump?

I'll try running ccleaner and report afterwards, but it's the only game giving me this problem.
Blue Ninja

I'm encountering the same issue today.
That happened for me and a restart fixed it but after playing for another 2-3 hours the framerate dropped to 15 fps.
Cannon Goose

Yes.

Just making sure I am not crazy - do other people get weird static on some of the darker textures? Things like monoliths and space stations have some oddly specific static that flicker, especially in the dark.
Wow that's great I'm going to try that. Photography might be the only reason why the game might be enjoyable in the end.
I have a weird issue where the game will play fine about 40-50fps and then after roughly half an hour of playing when I next jump into my ship the frame rate immediately tanks to single digits and lasts like that the entire time. So I have to quit the game about every 30 minutes and then restart it and it works fine again for a time. Any idea what's going on and how to fix it?
