I've done extensive testing over the last few days (actually since NMS Desolation came out when I started playing again) as to what was causing my new performance and crashing issue with NMS.
Turns out it actually wasn't the Desolation update itself, or any of the many other things I tried.
Also of course, I suspected Cortex Boost at first, but that wasn't it either.
I had to get in and narrow down the Razer RGB effects that were causing it. For a while I suspected Audio Meter first (still not 100% certain of Audio Meter's reliability in NMS), but it came down to Ambient Awareness not working at all in NMS. And with having just Ambient Awareness enabled, and it remaining black in NMS - performance while playing starts to get destroyed, possibly even leading to the game crashing. You have to mess around a little bit, but it'll do it.
(Also, please make your New Thread button easier to see, holy crap....)
Ambient Awareness RGB Does Not Work In No Man's Sky AND Destroys NMS Performance.
