Yeh I run at 1080p - with everything maxed out and everything on, including vsync etc, its 60fps 99% of the time, even during snow and rain storms. Even with loads of monsters throwing effects at me.

It's just these weird 20-40 (around 30fps) times where I load up and no matter what I do - it's laggy as hell. Even dropping all settings to lowest - the fps wont go up. Only relaunching the game over and over until I get the "60 fps" smoothness, will it then run smoothly for hours with no issue. It's like something is bugging out when it launches and only a restart fixes it.

The commands were a godsend for me cause around my base it was 35-40fps on low-medium settings and adding those commands sent it to 60fps with max settings. I know my rig and the game can run beautifully and buttery smooth with everything max - even at my base @ 9k instances and with any weather. So I know there's an issue.

I checked temps, I checked voltages and everything - it's all normal even with the issue. No other game has had an issue. I have played even AAA newer titles at high settings smoothly. My videocard is a Gigabyte 980ti waterforce, so not the usual 980ti back in the day - this card would outperform a Titan. It's been and still is a beautiful card for 1080p to 2k - back then and even now.

I also run multiple screens and sometimes have twitch or music playing - but with it on or off - it made no difference. It seems the commands or something - or the game itself doesn't launch properly sometimes. I tried Vulkan and Direct X - same deal.
