May 21, 2025May 21 Recently built a PC with Ryzen 7700 and RX9070 so I wanted to replay the game I couldn't fully enjoy on my old laptop. This rig should be an overkill for Deadfire, however I'm still getting performance issues similar to the past. I used an old save where my party just standing in Fort Deadlight doing nothing: The game just seemed to slow down when it could access more than 4 logical cores. I used Process Lasso to give it only 4 cores, and my FPS went up to ~80 from ~60. The second or maybe more important thing is that somehow it seems to be heavily bottle-necked by the CPU. At the ~80 FPS I mentioned, the GPU was barely working at all, but the 4 cores/threads the game could use were all at max frequency and almost full utility. At this point there seems to be nothing I can do: giving the game access to more threads only drops FPS, giving it less doesn't have much effect, and doing anything to the GPU is irrelevant. I'm pretty sure this was not because of mods, background programs or such. I mean 80 FPS is far from unplayable, but with the high CPU utility I'm also getting awful 1% lows if I do anything at all. Can anyone help? Edit: to get rid of any possible effect of the old save, I tried a completely new install and fresh start. As early as the first encounter on the ship, I can already see the CPU bottle-necking. FPS dropped from full 160 to ~130, GPU wasn't fully ultilized, and if I give it 8 cores (instead of 4), FPS dropped below 100. Edited May 22, 2025May 22 by yorname
