Update graphics card drivers
It is always advisable to keep the graphics card drivers up to date. On Reddit we find some threads where we read that outdated drivers of graphics card probably the cause of crashes and freezes issues. Therefore, it is necessarily to double check the graphics card driver and if necessary, download and install the latest version.
Max FPS increase and disable Vsync
In our case, we had experienced with stuttering right after game start, although the drivers are all up to date and recommended system requirements are more than met. We have increased the Max FPS in the settings, these are set to 30 FPS, once we have increased the value to "MAX", the game was run smoothly, especially when flying over the planetary surface and entering the atmosphere of a planet. When set to "60 FPS" strangely it was run only 30 to 40 frames per second and when set to "Max FPS" we came to an average of 70 to 80 frames per second (GTX 970). We still don’t know the reason why this happened.
Furthermore, we also noticed a small FPS boost when we disabled the Vsync. Unfortunately, many already known graphic errors are still exists, these will probably be fixed in the next update.
