Hello there, @Exploding Carrot
First of all, welcome here at SimRail Forums!
It's sad to hear about your issue, however this version is still a playtest which means it can sometimes make an unplayeble play. On the other hand, you would not have such a huge lags.
Did you try to re-install / install new graphics driver.
Did you try to verify in-game files on steam.
Did you try to re-install SimRail?
I also have checked the minimum requirements about PC and your PC should do well with it, minimum you should able to see a change when you choose Ultra or Low settings.
Lastly, I also have this kind of lags when I always try to enter my game.
Kind Regard
