This is driving me round the bend

Ok, I have a big route, its highly detailed , even with a 12 gb 4070 and 32gb of ram,17, it wont get beyond 30fps.
I can work fine on this route for a while, I watch the FPS , it comes and goes down to 14 / 15 fps if I do something demanding and when I save it drops to 7fps, BUT ,after a while the fps just plunges and it will NOT come back to normal. It stays around 5 fps and I generally have to save ( if I can ) and because it never stops the save process, I have to close down the pc and restart . Just now, I tried to move a rock downward and the frame rate dropped precipitously within a second.

On restart, I can now move around the same area, I can move that rock up and down and the frame rate is firmly on 30fps. So its not due to me doing anything demanding ,its not due to a inefficient asset, as Ive had to chose ones with low draw demands. I've been through all settings and I've optimized them with help from others, it should be ok, so why is this constantly occurring, has anyone ANY ideas ?

I remember some threads about potential memory leaks, do you think that could be something to do with it? I don't know if it was ever resolved.

I've run into this as well and I'm still trying to figure out what has caused this. Nothing has changed on my system other than a video driver upgrade. Thinking that was the issue, I downgraded to an earlier version that worked okay but that didn't help.

Like you, this occurs over time with some areas dropping down as low as 5 fps before I exit and reboot to bring the performance back again.

poorly Optimized Game that N3V Made... They are lacking Big time in this area.... most systems now a days Run DirectX 12 just fine so why isn't the game upgraded to Run Directx12 is beyond me... I am seeing the same thing happen with my mega route.. Areas i have pretty good scenery Runs completely fine others where its Heavy Dense is where the slow down is. Memory Leak, i don't know but it could be.. I run with 64GB Ram and 12GB RX6600 Radeon GPU... can't figure out what is really going on with the game as well. Hope their is a fix down the road for it because i am out of luck..
