Players in the Elite Dangerous community have been experiencing ongoing frame rate drops during gameplay, with performance often falling below 100 FPS. The only temporary solution reported is logging out and back in, which restores performance for about 45 minutes to an hour before the issue recurs. Attempts to fix the problem by adjusting settings or updating drivers have not resolved the issue. This persistent performance degradation affects gameplay smoothness and player experience, with the community actively seeking a permanent fix as of late July 2026.
- Frame rate drops force relogging every 45-60 minutes
- Settings tweaks and driver updates have not fixed the problem
