I started a specific thread since the devs mentioned this specifically:
We’re still trying to track down one bug for Alpha 9, where the game
runs at a really slow framerate right at startup. If you can reproduce
this bug and have any info for us, please respond in the comments.
From a fresh game lag is so bad the last two builds that’s it’s unplayable on my 32bit AMD machine. (Game STILL crashes on start when in 64bit mode)
UI lag takes 5-10 seconds to register each click.

Other reports seems to limit the lag to mining and building (yes, mining has always lagged the game and continues to do so). This report is game stopping lag from the get-go. I also had this lag on 2310, which is why I added in 206 and started a new thread to cover both.
On my AMD system the game is unplayable from terrible lag, so I can never even get to building or mining. From the moment I try to plant my flag, it’s several seconds delay for every mouse click and UI response.
Well not really that’s where it started with the thread he linked to indeed has to do with the game lagging not just the mining and building.
Now there haven’t been any reports as far as I found that had such a severe case off lagg in game tho. At the startup and during save-file loading yes.
It’s strange that I’ve watched the game get progressively worse on my system to the point that I can’t play it anymore (on my AMD box). I hope they get this hammered out before the full Alpha 9, because right now I can’t play at all - and I was really getting excited for StoneHearth.
have you checked the log-file for aything specific? Could you also try starting it up to the point that you can see what the game is doing and take a picture of that expanded so we can see what is consuming your pc?
Yes and no.
stonehearth.json is fairly useless.
user_settings.json is extremely useful for us, as we can find all crashes for a particular user if we know their “user_id” in user_settings.json. please continue to forward this to us.
As RP mentions, though, I really need to take a look at your stonehearth.log, too.
Unfortunately, the 32-bit version of the game is going to continue crashing until we can look at dramatically reducing our memory usage. I plan to work on this in they very near future and we might have some improvement for alpha 10.
In the meantime, let’s try to get your 64-bit builds from not crashing so much. Could you do this for me?
Enable 64-bit builds again.
Run it a few times. Let it crash!!
Link your user_settings.json and stonehearth.log here again.
Thanks for your help and patience. I know crashing is super annoying, and I’m trying to fix them all.
Sorry to say, not much in the 64bit crash log. Anything I can do to help with the 64bit crash on load, just let me know. Certainly next game rig I build is going to be Intel!
