A Reminder on how to Increase Performance and remove stuttering in Star Citizen

[Mastersan]

Is this for amd or intel?

This is for Intel gen 12 and 13 CPUs, but not sure if it will also work on AMD.

So, I did all the changes, and I could see an FPS improvement BUT, my game crashes all the time now :( (like it's rarely plays for more than 5 min without crashing vs hours before)
Particularly if something else happens (but not only), like recording with NVIDIA shadow play, doing alt-tab, etc.

I have AMD Ryzen 7 5800X-8 core, 32 gb of RAM, an SSD and a 12gb gtx3080.
Anybody else running into a similar issue?

Seems to be a memory issue from the log file

EDIT: I change the memory page file to min 32*1.5*1024 and max 32*3*1024 which seems to be the windows recommendation and so far, no crash.

Hi All,

Just wanted to leave this here, as it may be very helpful if you have Intel gen 12 and 13 CPUs.

I was still having a lot of stuttering, which made the game unplayable.

Then I've come across this video:

Apparently, if you disable the efficiency cores of your CPU when you run the game and only use logical cores the game runs smoothly. All you need to do is to modify the target of Star Citizen launcher to look like this (depends on the path where you have installed the game):

%ComSpec% /C Start "RSI Launcher" /High /Affinity FFFF "C:\Program Files\Roberts Space Industries\RSI Launcher\RSI Launcher.exe"

I've tried this and it makes the game run so much smoother and with no stuttering, so that the game is enjoyable again, a massive difference.

This made the biggest difference for me. I disable e-cores in the BIOS though, super easy.
