Bug/Issue Game Lag and Graphics Stuttering in Single Player

    Hi, I picked up this game a couple years ago and decided to revisit it to see what had changed (I'm pleasantly surprised). I'm having this issue when I get to areas with many enemies (like the outhouse dungeon in planets) where my game starts lagging and I get a lot of slowdown. I haven't found any recent posts regarding this so I'm not sure what to do.

    Specs:
    Intel i5-6550
    GTX 970
    16gb ram

    I would imagine my specs could handle the game properly, is there something I'm missing?

    SB isn't fully optimized by now (but could eventually happen in the next few days). Afaik everyone get these lags regardless of their specs.

    I don't know much about programming and how much time it takes for bugs to be resolved or what the developers priority's are right now, I don't even have much play time on this game but when i played really long ago my frame-rate was smooth and i was enjoying the game, now that I'm back it feels unplayable and the dev's say they are close to a final release and I can't find a fix even though it appears that others are suffering from the same issue. I just want to know that big optimizations will come because before my frame-rate was steady and didn't have drops like does now in the same locations. And I can handle other games that appear to have bigger workloads and dont drop frames up and down like crazy. But like I said I'm not a genius so can anyone out there suggest a fix for me or confirm that the dev's want to optimize the game?

    edit: I made this account specifically to ask for a fix

    The fix will be waiting for an update. My pc can handle other games as well but most of them are fully released and optimized. (FYI: Optimized code is executed faster than debug code and/or non-optimized code which is actually used in SB )
    I can't say for sure if (and when) an optimization update is coming out but i'm pretty sure they're working on it. I can't imagine that they will release SB with this known issue (and it is a long standing issue especially). Before the performance impact hit so strong there were other mechanics and of course there was not so much content. These are all aspects that can affect the performance. (i'm going a bit off-topic do i? >.< )
