I starting having issues with Windrose after around 70 hours of flawless 100+FPS on all epic settings. Then all of a sudden a couple of days ago, I would encounter my game dropping to single digit FPS. Alongside the FPS drops, it will also cause my PC to lag as well. Like if I am watching a video, or even just typing in discord, my PC will get hung up waiting on Windrose to catch up. I've tried to do some testing on my own. For starters, I am playing on my friend's dedicated server alongside 4-5 other players (although the issues occur even when I'm alone on the server or there are other players, it doesn't matter). After doing some trouble shooting, I've noticed that this issues generally happens in a few scenarios...

  • Whenever I open my inventory (Character Screen). I can open any other interface, Journal, Discoveries, Map etc... but whenever I open or navigate to my character screen, the lag/stuttering/PC havoc starts happening. The same thing happens when I talk to Provisioners.
  • Whenever I Alt+Tab to another window I start stuttering and my PC starts lagging as well.

I have tested a lot of different settings in game, and keep having the same issue regardless. I have also tried several different spots in our world, some that were just islands with no bases and I still have the issues. Now whenever I am on a fresh single player world, I don't seem to have these issues. I have not tested to see if I can restore the world from a backup and play it as a single player. I have also tries removing all lighting from my base and it has no affect.
This issues generally happens after I've played for a little bit, so I do not have a video capturing this, but I will make sure to record when it happens again. I also included both the dedicated server files, as well as my personal ones, I wasn't sure which were needed.

Hello, we are aware of FPS drops while entering full screen UIs while you have framegen enabled. We are working on a fix for this issue. Meanwhile I suggest to disable framegan to remove this effect.
