The Origins update is horrible. It turned a Paradise planet into a “worn infested,” overgrown lump. My base gets huge plant/worms growing in it. Cut them down they grow back. On top of that the frame rate drops, the game stutters, and stops. It's a total mess. So much for “it's not going to affect your base” BS. Before anyone starts with the “your machine can't handle it” stuff, I have a computer that will out match most people. Here are the specks.

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900X CPU @ 3.50GHz (20 CPUs), ~3.5GHz
Memory: 128 Gb RAM
Available OS Memory: 130748MB RAM
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 8 Gb RAM

I'm playing on an old gaming laptop with an old Nvidia Gefore 950 GTX and have not experienced any performance drops with the update. No reason to lie to you either.

I'd recomment the usual "update your drivers" etc stuff, but seems to me that you'll already have prepared an immediate snappy response to that, so i wont.

So i'm sorry for your problem but please dont presume this to be the case for everyone. Or that the update is bad because of it. 'Cause it just isn't.

One thing that is important to note is that after every game update or driver update, the game will run like crap (with hitching/stutters) as you move around the world, because in their infinite wisdom Hello Games decided to build the graphics shaders as you encounter them in while playing rather than compiling them durring the loading screen. It sucks, because it makes the first hour or so a choppy mess, but after that it's fine.

Your system is better than mine, so it should be fine after some time. That said, this update forced me to kick the Planet Quality down from Ultra to High and I had to disable GTAO (down from Enhanced), else the frame rate very poor near any structure/base. My specs:

AMD FX-8320
24GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM
Geforce GTX1660 6GB
Crucial MX500 SATA SSD
Win10 Home
Nvidia driver version 432.0

I find the older driver works better on my system, so I have kept it around.

Don't get me wrong, I still get hitching when leaving planets and sometimes I get some frame drops, but that's an AMD FX CPU for ya!

Wow, thanks for the reply. I did notice that if I save the game it seems to help a lot. So during play, if it starts bogging down I will save. I kicked my setting a lot further back than you. Before the patch everything was set at ultra, when I went to move the settings down they were already set at Enhanced. I think it may be time to walk away for a couple of years, and see what happens.

My laptop is not as good in specs as your machine and the game runs very smooth

Laptop Dell G7 7590 : Win 10 x64
CPU 9th Gen' Core I7 9750H 4.5ghz, RAM Corsair Vengeance 16gb DDR4 2666mhz,
GPU NVidia Geforce GTX 1650, VRAM 4gb GDDR5,
M.2 NVME 256gb + Dell 512gb SSDs' (both Internal)

I agree that after every update the game cache has to catch up, which can cause a bit of stutter until the game updates all the cache files and "settles down", but the only constant minor issue I experience is the new small stutter when you fly from a planet into space, just as you exit the planet atmosphere. Here's hoping they will fix that recently introduced issue one day, but it's not a big issue.
I usually delete the cache files and settings files, so the game readjusts for my machine with whatever Hellogames have tweaked since the last update, and generates new cache files quicker. Though I dont leave the game screen resolution at what the game sets, the game still sets that way too high for my machine.

Game settings .. Not much changed since I made this topic https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/7657133-no-mans-sky-general-performance-tips/

Try zero'ing the Motion Blur setting, see if that makes a difference.

I have a similar setup to you:

i9-9900k
32GB RAM
RTX 2080ti
game installed on an M.2 drive
34 inch ultrawide monitor

I got horrible stuttering when I first updated. Now it plays smooth, so it seems to be just as Tatwi suggested. I have everything on Ultra. Looks like the experimental branch has some fixes in it as well.

Yeah, it does seem to be a lot better now. I'll try to remember that the game slows way down after an update. Thanks.

Hopefully when they move the experimental to the main branch, it will really fix it.
