Today I pushed the game to its limits to see when it would start to crash or freeze. I played a sandbox game on sandy gulch. Everything started great until I hit about 30-40% of the map covered with buildings. Started to get small stutter and freezing. Once I got about 50-60% the game is basically unplayable. I checked out my CPU, RAM, and GPU usage and was topping out at about 25% across the board. I haven't reduce the graphics yet, still at 1080. The game is not tapping into the resources available to it.

That lag and freezes you experience is caused due to the number of colonist model moving inside tunnels.

In the mean time, reduce your graphic to low or just let the game adjust the setting for you (available in graphical setting) at the main menu before you start a mission / sandbox or before you load a save file..

Hope later patch developers will allow player to remove all or or set the maximum number of colonist model the game allowed to render to reduce lag and freeze.

Hope that help 🙂
