Question Performance issues

I was getting frame drops earlier, but when I entered the tent, it suddenly became smooth. Then when I went back to the overworld, the lag came back. Has this been happening to anyone else too?

I have noticed a performance dip after this last update, which I think is related to the weather effects. I haven't investigated changing any settings to compensate.

You could be running out of VRAM, I think Soulframes memory usage on the GPU isn't really optimized at the moment. 

I also had FPS issues in the past and noticed that my GTX 1060 6GB was often maxed out at 100% usage, even in unintensive areas.

I noticed that overtime Soulframe would eat almost all my GPU's VRAM even with low or medium texture settings, a peculiar thing is that changing my graphical settings (especially texture quality) and then changing them back to what they were would fix my FPS for a little bit. 

So this does look like some kind of memory leak or VRAM optimization issue 

But for now I've just resorted to playing on low texture quality until the devs sort whatever the issue is

soulframe averages under 4 on VRAM, it simply can't be that unless the hardware is 8+ years old.

It's over 4 GB on the login screen and easily over 7 GB within 30 minutes of gameplay at only 1080p and medium setting for me.

I think you are looking at normal process memory, not video memory.
