Lag [Update 0.7.4 to 0.7.7]

Haven't played in a while and just recently updated.
Before I was on 0.7.4 and now I am at 0.7.7 and suddenly I am getting getting major lag spikes when panning around.
I don't know what changed between then and now, but my save became basically unplayable.

CPU: Intel i5-13600KF
RAM: 128GB (4x32GB) G-Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5 5600Mhz
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3070
SSD: M.2 Samsung 980 PRO 1TB
Resolution: 4K (tried 1080p as well still lagging)

If you need more info or a save file I can provide both. 😄

i had sìmilar problem, i solved it by disabling vsync and capping frames

Similar problems for me which went away when I got a new monitor. That was really surprising.

Freesync instead of vsync but I have no idea

Sadly that didn't help (at least not much)

We haven't changed anything significant about our rendering pipeline, try changing all the rendering settings back and forth and see if anything changes.

This has been an on again off again issue for me as well. I found it wasn't till I specifically disabled the limit frames in background setting that it was truly resolved.

not to sound dismissive, but does this only effect this game ? you know those 13th gen CPUs are known to degrade over time - is it possible you are another victim of this issue ?

I'm capping to 60 because I know my monitor is 1080p 60fps max, and I still sometimes get lower FPS when, for example a huge chunk of material drops from height to where I'm mining (like 20-30 layers down hill, which I since have stopped doing)

but in my case, it's a core i7-4790k (not OC-ed) with a 3060 OC-12Gb, which I guess is capped due to the CPU so I'm already in the path to upgrade to a core i5-12400F and faster memory that should improve my FPS in all games, but also I don't build huge like the hard-core players here...

I'd suggest uploading a save for the devs to test as well unless the other suggestions solve your issue (please update us - this is interesting to know)

It is only this game. And it is reproducable as I pull the old game data from my laptop that has Steam running in offline mode.

Also the degradation issue is a issue for chips from their US-factory.
I am located in Europe, so I most likely have a chip from their Asian factory. (Would actually have to dig out the packaging from my attic.)

Hi, I have the same problem. I also tried a lot about different frame limits, the error only occurred with update 0.7.7. The score was created shortly after the update 0.7.0.
The error occurred for the first time after the update when my trains caused a not exactly small traffic jam, after that I could no longer play at maximum speed without saying and not only when looking around, but the vehicles also said.
I had tried various settings in the graphics also with the changeover of the frame rate. Then I was only able to lay free games on the 2 highest level without LAGs.
At the time I had 197 trains (1 train + 6 wagons) and before that they all caused one or the other traffic jam but there was no such LAG. Even if the traffic rolls again, it still says.
In the meantime I have been down around 160 trains, but it still says.
