I think I've posted about this several times before, but piloting in Dual Universe is pretty unbearable - pretty much impossible - for me now because my screen freezes for a long time making me lose control of my ship, which in turn makes me crash often. I suspected it has to do with the lag but people have said it has improved somewhat. I dunno.
I was also thinking it has to do with my graphics settings so I tried lowering the threads from the default (which is six I think) to two. I still had problems with flight. So perhaps it isn't a graphics thing either (unless my GPU and system is really poor - I have a GTX 1660 coupled with an AMD Ryzen 5 3600. I have 16 GB RAM in my system and I have the game installed on an external SSD. )
I'm just wondering if screen freezing is a common thing for you.
