Game keeps slowing down to less than 10FPS randomly
ever since i started playing 1.0 my game has been randomly slowing down to less than 10fps and I cannot figure out why for the life of me. it doesn't appear to be the gpu, cpu or ram usage going down from what i can tell, and normally saving and exiting to menu and reloading the save would fix it, but at the moment it only fixes it for about a minute before it happens again.
anyone had this issue before or know why it might be happening?

haven't had the issue yet and the performance is mostly the same, i guess it's an issue with dx12?

also this has been happening since before mods were out so i don't think it's an issue with mods, i just figured this would be the best place to ask

Follow this flowchart to troubleshoot issues caused by mods (crashes, unexpected behavior, etc.). More information can be found on the docs: https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/faq.html#_how_can_i_troubleshoot_crash_issues
the mods aren't the issue, but also it only happens once I've loaded into the game so I can't troubleshoot by disabling mods cause then I wouldn't be able to load into my save

There are a few things to try if your RHI is causing crashes.
1) Try switching your RHI. If you're using DX11 or DX12, switch to the other. If you're using Vulkan, try DX12 before DX11
2) Try verifying your game files.
3) Update/reinstall your graphics drivers
4) Try disabling hierarchal Z-buffer occlusion in the game's graphics settings.
5) Try tuning your graphics card's clock down, especially if has been overclocked (by you or the vendor)

I remember having issues a while ago when switching between dx11/dx12/vulkan so I've been playing on dx12 since then but I'll try the others when I'm on my pc
tried opening the game in vulkan (i've been playing on dx12) and it forced dx11 instead and gave me awful performance
graphics drivers are up to date, hierarchal z-buffer occlusion is already disabled
and i verified my game files a few days ago
forcing vulkan in the launch arguments has worked and it's running well, i'll give it some time to see if it does the fps drop thing though
