  Came back to Dune, decided I really like it and I don't know why I uninstalled..
  
  Yup. FPS drop that makes the game very choppy and irritating to play during late-game.
  
  C'mon, do something ;)

  I appreciate engine issues can be challenging to solve, but given how even powerful PCs are struggling I feel this has to be a top priority.
  
  Huge fan of the game - but this I think crosses the line from "issue" to a little unacceptable for a game post-early access. I've tested this across multiple PCs with the same outcome.

  Unfortunately, no change with "Community Update #3". Same stuttering regardless of graphic settings with minimal CPU/GPU usage.

  The game is very nice, but still unpleyable after 20 min. Year ago i droped dune because of this perfomance issue. 10 months later despite many updates game's still stuttering. Why don't you fix it?

  Loving the game, but it's barely playable. Even starting a brand new game I can be getting frame stutters, which just get worse to the point of the game being barely playable. On top of this, it consistent crashes approximately every 150 minutes, so I constantly have to remember to restart the game.
  7800X3D and a 4090. Running at 4k.
  Tried both DirectX and OpenGL, Fullscreen exclusive and fullscreen window. Vsync on and off. Frame rate limit at 120 and turned down to 60 today. Verified integrity of files through Steam multiple times and it always reports fine.
  Love the game, but man does it just suck to play with these performance issues.

  Started playing the game after a few months pause, but I noticed the drop in fps after zooming out to view entire battlefield and then zooming back in. The stutter is really bad, but after going back and forth to windows (to see the task manager), the stutter is gone.

  Additionally, once the frames drop the game also becomes uncontrollable. The game simply doesn't register when you press buttons or click the mouse. Seems it is so busy with the units on the screen it forget to accept input.

  Это происходит просто в радомный момент,причём обычно заниамет несколько минут,если игру свернуть несколько раз то отвисает,но после 2-3 раз игра просто зависает и закрывается

  It's a memory leak that only happen with directX (but OpenGL have the brown fog of death bug...).
  
  I have 32 gigas of ram.
  The game begin around 2 to finish around 20/22 gigas ram used before crahing (sometime even the whole computer).
  Having more an more stuttering and frame drop in the process, of course.

  After submitting a bug report it continues to work normally for a certain time on external screen

  The FPS rate restarts after a bug report but drops again after a while, about 15 min
