Don t starve together low FPS

Lets see if this is a vsync issue, cos im running at 60fps with a gtx970

Open your Nvidia Control Panel
Under 3d settings look for "Manage 3D settings", then goto "Program Settings"
Click on "Add" and then browse for DST exe in this folder:
X:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Don't Starve Together\bin

choose "dontstarve_steam.exe", scroll down till you see "Vertical Sync" and "Triple buffering"

Set
Vsync : off
Triple buffering : on

also in the game itself turn "bloom effect" off

what a load of ♥♥♥♥

thankfully theres a workaround, your gonna have to get "Nvidia Inspector"
you can get it from here [www.guru3d.com]

Run it as admin, look for where it says "Driver Version" click on the settings icon next to it and follow the steps ive marked on this image

1) search for "dont starve"
2) when loaded, click delete profile as it wont let you edit Dont starve together settings
3 Create new profile and enter dst or something
4) add "dontstarve_steam.exe" to the profile from the same folder i posted before

then just turn vsync off and turn triple buff on

Woow dude, epic!

I followed your steps and it worked like a charm now! It is capped to 60 fps with vsync off though I am not complaining. Totally playable now thanks to you.

It is really good for me. I play on 1080p and it is sufficient. I had an AMD R9 370 2GB before and it was fine. I was on the fence of upgrading like you and when I couldn't run dishonored 2 I went for it. I wanted to get the GTX 1080 but the price is too high here. Totally recommend 1070

ya, kinda. I really like to max games and I couldn't do it with my old GPU. I was a huge fan of dishonored when it came out and when the sequel came out and I couldn't run it I was sold on a GPU upgrade! Plus, I plan on upgrading to a 4k monitor in the near future so the upgrade is justified xDD

I really recommend dishonored 1 and 2. you will love them.

and I dunno since you can run most games on 1080p maybe just get a titan x then if you are trying to max stuff on 4k xD

That fixed my issue. However, I downloaded a newer version of NVIDIA Inspector (2018), and it worked as well, after following your instructions and screenshot. I've got a DELL Inspiron 8550U (i8, 16Gb RAM, 4Gb Video card), and FPS reached 45 sometimes. I don't like to complain, but that didn't make any sense. Now it never leaves 60 FPS and it's nice and smooth. Thanks, I hope this helps other people.

MAN YOU ARE A LEGEND

I have noticed this recently. The problem was the minimap, which after closing in-game shot my fps back up to 60.

Hello all, late to the party, I know, but I was getting 40-50 FPS in DST both in Menu and in Game. I checked CPU and GPU usage and it was at 10-20%
For me turning G-Sync off solved the issue, so yay :)
edit: specifically: I disabled G-Sync in N-Vidia control panel for DST exe

op, looks like you comparing this game to aaa projects and looking at graphic think that at this game must be high fps
you are so wrong with it, this game have so terrible optimisation - u cant run it stable even with nuclear power plant

nuclear power plant for DST 32bit app? pfffft bruhh wth the game its better to be updrade to 64bit and make it use all cores of the cpu as for now only use 1 cores and 4 gb ram Max as any other 32 bit app, what are you compare this game to other? CaN iT rUn CrYsis? such a waste used nuclear power plant just pull out 2013 laptop and its can run right like mine
