  1. #1

    Default Frame rates have turned to shyte

    howdy gang, need some help please

    I've been playing this game on my lap top for years now, on medium settings I always had between 30 to 40fps
    until the last few months where I log in and literally within minutes of logging in my fps drops down to 10fps, game is unplayable now, it plays like it's lagging but I know my internet connection is excellent, also playing DA:I same thing started real good and in the same time frame as AOC become slow and staticty

    makes me wonder if my GPU is about to **** it self, laptop is 4yrs old now

    I have updated to the latest drivers, and no i'm not trying to down load porn lol
    I've checked task manager there is no applications running in background but under processes there is a lot of stuff but I have no clue what they are lol

    my laptop stats
    acer aspire 8950G
    cpu-i7 2630QM 2ghz
    gpu-amd hd6850m
    8g ram
    win7 64b

    ok sorry about the delay in response I was at work in the W.A outback ( goldfields )
    so I had to wait to get back to civilization to open and clean the laptop

    ok so in fact I just finished putting the laptop back together, it was a good call GC as in the 4 years i've had it I have never opened or cleaned it

    so after an intensive cleaning my problem still persists, less than 1 minute from starting AOC my fps drops from 40 to 15

    there is no virus or spyware

    if you are running windowed mode, or windowed-fullscreen mode, as soon as you see the problem start, try alt-tab out of the game, then alt-tab back into the game.

    Can Devs please fix:
    • new ressurections resetting the currently selected ressurect position
    • loot timeout windows disappearing before progress bar completes when box hasn't been opened quickly

    actually I've been running just straight fullscreen mode, but the alt tab did do something as I alt tabbed out to check on the task manager and when I came back to game my fps went back to normal for about 30seconds then died again
    this has got me stumped

    I would blow out all the fans. Make sure nothing is overheating.

    Run a malwarebytes scan, make sure there isn't too much junk running in background.


    What is normal FPS you used to get?

    normal was between 35 to 40 fps, I was always only able to play in medium settings, now I cant even play on low

    I pulled the laptop apart completely and gave a very intensive clean

    I run Norton ( full subscription ) says laptop is clean, also ran a full scan with ad-ware came back clean

    should I try the brand you mentioned HD
    cheers

    uninstalled ad-aware and ran malware just in case, found some extra **** but did not fix the problem

    I guess I'm gonna have to convince the missus that I need to finish building my desktop rig and by a new laptop for my FIFO work lol
    cheers

    I was just thinking that with 4 years without any cleaning, your hardware may well be damaged. Did you try to run any benchmark to compare with tests of your laptop at release?
