FPS issue near asteroids

When flying through the space in Avorion i sometimes get incredible frame rate issues. These seem to happen when either i get to close to an asteroid (or mine containing a generated asteroid) or select them. While normally i have 60 fps and the GPU is at 30% according to task manager, when i get close to them it drops down to 5 fps. It normally happens after i am close to them for a little bit (+- 30 sec). I do not get this framerate issue even when a large fight (+- 20 ships) is happening around me or when i am in my 3000 objects ship i created. It happens in sectors with mines and also scrapyards, but i did not test the issues with the scrapyard as much.

While i can deal with it by just avoiding asteroids. It is very annoying when trying to build my mines that my fps drops to 5 almost forcing me to re log which fixes this for a short while.

I hope anyone can help me with this issue.

 

Attached i have a server log and client log of mine. one of the example situations where it happened was around 18:02, but i do not see anything that could indicate an issue in there myself.

from what i can tell such stuttering is associated with spikes of i/o which is likely the game dumping/loading things between the ram and hdd page file.

how much ram do you have and what sort of hd, on what model of board?

hd - harddisk. The place all your data is stored.

Before my SSD - I was suspicious of IO being a problem so I loaded the game into a ramdisk. Fortunately it's not very big. 4GB of RamDisk is plenty.

I did my research and selected imdisk - (64bit, free, opensource, fast, feature-ful, and the author uses ISO date format proving he's smart)

Feel free to do your own research,
