Game slow down while boost/accelerating

[Magiehammer]

Hi!

 

Yesterday I asked about the Problem in the Avorion Discord, and we closed the discussion with "Write on Forum" :D

So, here Ill write about a phenomen of "slow down while boosting after upgrading system specs".

 

What happend:

Some weeks/month ago I upgraded my Computer from Intel I5 3470 (4-Threaded) with 16 GB RAM to AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (16-Threads) with 32GB RAM, new Motherboard, new OS (Win 10 64-bit...), same Graphics Card (Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB).

Since I upgraded, I see the problem.

 

What is the Problem:

When I start fly through space, while accelerating or boosting the game slows down. It dont stutter, rubberbands or so, it feels like the simulation of the Games physics is slowing down.

In the Discussion at Discord we see, that the FPS is dropping from 120 to 60 while boosting.

I have a 144 Hz Monitor, V-Sync active.

 

I made a Video to show the Problem:

 

Here you see the Problem, theres one Thread overly used (almost 100%) all other Threads are running with the standard background noise.

So multi-threading might solve the problem, but as already known, is not a soluten like a bugfix, so this almost isnt able to do.

 

With the Ship "Test 1":

With the Ship "Test 2" (not in Video) the FPS drops to 90.

 

Without V-Sync the slow down/FPS drop is a bit stronger.

 

Is it reproducable?

Another User on Discord tested my Ship in a new Galaxy on the same CPU, also with 120Hz Frequenzy on Monitor, and see the same problem.

I tested in my normal Galaxy and on a new generated galaxy, the Problem is the same, feel free to try yourself.

 

I think the Problem is the lower single-thread-performance of AMD, Intel has more single-core-performance, but the total power of the Ryzen is much higher than my I5 before, (thats why I upgraded).

 

Feel free to ask and comment :)
