Hello. Recently I have been having issues with Terraria (the majority of my issues can be seen here: "Will Terraria damage this computer i use?") but occasionally I experience very potent lag spikes, which dramatically slow down gameplay for a few seconds, with the duration ranging from about 1 second more or less, to 2.5 seconds or more. While the lag spike happens, sometimes the lighting in-game ends up bugging, where it fluctuates for a moment in a unstable manner.
Computer Specifications:
Computer system type: Windows 10 Pro
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 60Hz
Processor: AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor 4.01 GHz
Installed RAM: 32.0 GB (31.9 GB usable)
System type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Graphical Card: GeForce GTX 1070 [version 390.77]
Motherboard: ASUSTeK SABERTOOTH 990FX R3.0 [version REV 1.xx]
PSU: Corsair 750W
Terraria type: PC, Steam-downloaded
Nvidia GeForce Terraria Settings:
My computer is also slightly unstable, and it freezes occasionally (I do not know why). However, when I was first testing Terraria, there was major issues with it in a windowed format, where the resolution was customised by resizing the window a bit. Changing it back to full-screen mode and 1920x1080 resolution had seemingly fixed that problem, but the lag spikes are still happening, although not as bad as when Terraria was in the custom resolution and windowed mode.
These lag spikes put me on edge, as I think that Terraria's stability is just temporary, and that these lag spikes are some sort of bad omen. I also think that fixing the problem might possibly cause some other issues, but I do not know for sure until fixes are tried.
I do not know what specifically is causing the problem, but does anyone here know a possible solution?
