Lag when looking at shafts of light?

[EducatedPotatoChip]

I've had this game for quite some time now, played it quite a bit, and I've never had this happen. It started with the Desolation Point update. For some odd reason, when I look at shafts of light, or fancy light effects, I get lag. There's also a ton of lagging when I entered the crashed ship on Desolation Point, throughout the entire ship, and especially when I look at the entrance with the whole light deal going on. I don't know if this is my CPU or my GPU acting up, or some other problem. If anyone has any advice or input on this problem, that would be great.

With the update to include Desolation Point, all the lighting effects are much more enhanced now, and are more processing intensive on higher resolutions and quality settings.

Without details of your system specs, it's hard to suggest the optimal adjustments to lessen the lag, but try lowering your resolution and/or switching down to a lower graphic quality (e.g. from Ultra to High).

If you're running additional software such as for streaming, that can have a greater impact now too depending on your settings to match resolutions.

If that doesn't help ease the lag, attach your debug output file, and I can forward it to the tech team to look for issues.
