I am getting VERY Low FPS (around 15 inside a house) even when I set everything to Ultra Low. My GPU (Nvidia 1660 Super) isn't the best, but I would have thought it can do better than this..

Any thoughts/suggestions?

My PC: Ryzen 3900X, 64GB RAM, Nvidia 1660 Super, Windows 10

Game settings: Everything to ultra low, no shadows, absolute minimum.

I was having a very similar issue with the garbage laptop I play on. I used to get around 30fps which isnt amazing but I could play and then after a break playing I came back and started getting around 3-9fps, especially in the Luxury DLC. Tried looking at my CPU/GPU and it was also at like 10% so that wasnt it either.

I updated windows yesterday and suddenly I'm back to 30 and everything is fine now. It's literally the only solution I've seen work for some reason.

I am definitely out of my depth here wrt knowledge of hardware, but I've had issues with house flipper since the get-go because of the GRASS. Any house without grass runs like butter. Although luxury flipper when looking towards the town is a mess too.

Hello,

Thanks for your suggestion.

In game (in your starting Office):
CPU = 6% usage approx
GPU = fluctuates between 10% - 25% usage

Those don't seem to be bottle-necked in any way.. And FPS was 16 in the starting Office.

Are there any diagnostics I could run? I would really like to play this game.. but at the moment it's basically unplayable.

Hi haohan00 , you could use the msi afterburner overlay while in the game and that will tell you what ur cpu + gpu are running at.
Do you have gd airflow ? so ur cpu gpu are not over heating.
And does it only happen in this game ?
I had to reinstall windows last week and my fps dropped but for some reason my power options were set to power saver mode then i just reset it to performance then everything was ok .
gd luck fella

Having a similar issue on a tad older hardware unfortunately:
-Intel i7-4970K
-GTX 1080
-16GB Ram
-Windows 10

I can't seem to get more than 18fps with any combination of settings. This only started after a few of the more recent updates. My CPU and GPU say they are only using 6-8% during the game, neither are thermal throttling.
I get expected frame rates in various other games however, the only one I have an issue with is house flipper.

I have tried (with no success)
-Updating various drivers
-Updating motherboard bios
-Uninstalling/Reinstalling the Game
-Deleting all associated files, then reinstalling the game.
-Changing NVIDIA Control Panel settings
-Changing windows power usage profiles
-Changing all combinations of Game settings
-Running the game in DirectX10 version (as prompted on startup if DirectX11 version doesn't work)

None of these have changed my low FPS problems which is very frustrating. Hopefully this thread will expand and we can get some help.

The game runs great on my husbands PC even with the newest updates. He is running a bit newer hardware but I'm not sure if the issue is that easily addressed as buy a better PC :/

Not a entirely new PC, you can just buy a new board, chip, and ram, and use the same case you have, power supply, GTX 1080, SSD, etc to it, your current CPU is simply bottlenecking your GTX 1080, I use to have my GTX 1070 on a Core i7 2600K with the same issue, the performance difference was huge when I switched my GTX 1070 to my Ryzen.

don't waste money on a RTX 3000 card either, they are still way too overpriced.

Thanks everyone for your replies

Malafor - Yes, I monitor hardware temps constantly even outside gaming, and there weren't any issues. This is the only game it happens in, and I've checked I'm on "High Performance". Thanks for your suggestions mate

MyMidnightMelody - Thanks for your message. I also hope we can gain some traction as I'm sure we can't be the only ones impacted.. Or maybe we are!

Nite69 - The only thing is that MyMidnightMelody mentioned her game was working fine before an update. So I think that makes it unlikely to be an issue with hardware limitation?

well I was dropping to the 30's in some parts of house flipper before I did my upgrade (this is just in base game before luxury DLC was out) long while back so he still should get off that 4790k its almost a 10 year old chip now, especially since Luxury DLC is more demanding

something wrong with your setup, I am on a Ryzen 7 2700x, 16GB Ram, GTX 1070 and I can run Ultra detail at 1080p with 60 - 90fps on most houses, I only had a few dips to 40's on a couple Luxury DLC Houses

Thanks for letting me know, at least now I know this ain't normal... Cheers
