I have a pretty strong tower honestly, but this is the only game I have that it just cannot play well. Im lucky if I get 20 fps and thats with nothing around. I play AAA games like RDR2, Horizon, Elite Dangerous, Cyberpunk, and more and have no issues getting 60-100 FPS on most games, I think the lowest my tower hits on a bad day is maybe 32-35. X4 constantly gets 8-15 on average with top end being 21. I just can’t play the game with those numbers. I do have mods right now, and yes I did notice a performance decrease with the mods, but even without the mods those numbers wern’t much better. I still never saw 30fps. I toyed with all the settings, tried different things, hell I even lowered the resolution to 1080p and STILL wouldn’t get above 25. I read that 6.0 Beta has vastly improved performance for a lot of people, yet it did nothing for me besides break my saves (so new to the game that didn’t bother me.) I don’t understand how people here are getting 100 FPS with far inferior hardware.

I think i know where my issue lies, but in order to solve it, I need to dump $1,000 and thats just something im not really willing to do right now just for 1 game, when my entire library plays fine.
