Hi there! I'd appreciate input and hopefully help on my issue. Let me first give relevant information.

System:
CPU: Intel I7-11700k, nominal frequency 3.60 GHZ, 12 threads.
GPU: RTX 4090
Ram: 32 GB DDR4 ram, 1066 Mhz mem controller frequency, 4Ghz uncore frequency (I'm aware my memory is really slow, hoping this isn't the cause as it's a motherboard issue.)
I'll upload my DXDIAG as well

In the attached save, which was started on 4.0.6 a few days ago, Vanilla no mods, universe size large, the game seems to freeze momentarily every 0.5-1 seconds if i'm moving the camera around at all, even if it's paused. I'm a little confused why this is the case, as there seemingly shouldn't be anything too strenuous when paused moving the camera. This doesn't happen in any other PDX game or game I can think of that I've played. The issue is bad enough that I don't want to play the game at all :(
My graphics settings were on high when I first encountered the issue, and turning them down to medium didn't seem to impact the issue at all.
I've also attached a ~5 second clip of the issue happening and I'd love to hear if there was something I could do to fix this.

Edit: Looking at one of my star systems when paused, the game seems like it's just hitching like this regardless of if i'm moving my camera. The stellar objects seem to *skip* forward a fraction of a second every second, or in laymans terms, there's a lag spike pretty much every second.

Sigh, PDX is having issues with my DXDIAG upload for some reason. Let me try one more time. Strange... It doesn't seem to upload correctly. I guess I'll just state I have the info available and can screencap it or copy the text in here if it would help.
 
IF dxdiag.txt fails to attach here, rename it to dxdiag.log , or zip it up. Thanks.
 
Update the Nvidia driver to April 2025 https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

If GeForce Experience or the Nvidia app are running after that, exit them before starting the game.


If that doesn't help, please contribute to this thread:

Attach there a save showing this, that dxdiag, and maybe even that video.


Good luck!

No dice, I guess I'll go on over to the other thread. Thanks for the help you gave!

Just in case anyone happens upon this thread later, Updating to april, and then may drivers did not help. Nor did closing NVIDIA and Geforce. Strangely, I can't seem to completely kill all nvidia processes, like NVIDIA container, but at least no programs are actively open.
