Hello guys, I have a question on you.
Since few updates back I started to experience some serious mouse lags in Starmade.. I thought its because of a new bug, so I waited some time for the next update, hoping that it will be fixed. But after trying the game today I have to admit that it might went even worse.
I've been playing Starmade for two years or so, on the same laptop all the time. I've built some ships so I know where are the limits of my laptop. After building a ship I love to test it in a fight against the AI - and the laptop could handle 100+ smaller ships and simulate a fight with my new ship. Of course the FPS were really low, but if I used the alt+tab, the game just minimalized and the whole OS ran smoothly again.
If I was just building something, everything was going smoothly too, only some rare lags when there was an auto save in progress.
But what happens now? When I start the game, it throws me into the main menu just fine. But when I start loading the game, the whole computer starts to lag.. When you enter the universe, then even while there are no "extreme" structures nearby (only a shop and my ship, which is made of 60k of blocks), the mouse lags so terribly, that you are unable to even point your mouse on anything.. There is literally a 2-3 sec delay between moving your mouse by your hand and moving a pointer of the mouse on your screen.. The game is totally unplayable in this state..
And the interesting thing is, that you have around 30 fps all the time while experiencing these lags.. And that this is not the case while you just have to wait, and when the loading of all entities is done, it becomes smooth again, like if you are near the planets. Another thing about this is, that the problem occurs even when you alt+tab the game (IF you manage to do that) - that mouse lag is so great that it is nearly impossible to even open the task manager to shut the game down.. And while in game, there is the same 2-3s delay between pressing anything and actually seeing something happen..
So it seems that the problem is in the CPU, which is unable to handle this game anymore, despite the fact that it was not a problem for more than 1 and 3/4 of a year before..
My question is - do anyone of you have an idea how to fix this? I would be really grateful for any suggestion
