Players on the Elite Dangerous subreddit have reported significant performance issues after extended play sessions. One commander noted that while the game initially ran smoothly at 60 FPS, leaving it open overnight caused frame rates to drop to 30 FPS with frequent stuttering and freezing. Attempts to resolve the problem, including updating graphics drivers, have only provided minor improvements. The issue appears to worsen the longer the game remains running, suggesting a possible memory leak or similar technical fault. This affects gameplay stability and is a concern for commanders planning long expeditions or play sessions.
- Performance degrades over extended sessions, dropping from 60 to 30 FPS.
- Updating drivers offers limited relief, indicating a deeper technical issue.
