Re: FPS drops and audio lags in ME1 Legendary Edition

It's started on Eden Prime on the final fight, then in Citadel but there isn't a specific location I think it just randomly occurs after some time of playing. Restarting game always helps, but who would want to play the game like that.

@Yelinaki 

There are areas with noticeable performance issues in ME1, like parts of the Citadel and the uncharted worlds. 

But if it happens to you everywhere it is likely that there is a different reason for your problem that is not directly, related to the game, like a memory leak, overheating, a third party application interfering and so on. 

Please create a DxDiag in text file format and post it with your next reply. You can do that  with the "Choose file" button at the bottom right corner of the reply window. 

Hi, DxDiag text file attachements. Thanks for looking into this.

@Yelinaki 

There are "RADAR_PRE_LEAK_64" warnings for the MELE in the DxDiag.

"RADAR_PRE_LEAK_64" is Windows warning for a possible memory leak regarding the specific application. Other games like DOOM have the same warning, but that doesn't necessarily mean you have problems with them.

Do you monitor the temperature of GPU and CPU?
Start the Task Manager before you start the game and check the memory usage wile you play.

I did as you advised and didn't notice anything unusual, there is a screenshot I made right after I encountered some FPS drops in-game. Also, what exactly are those memory leaks? Is is hardware or rather software issue?

@Yelinaki 

Thanks, but that alone don't means that there is no problem, it would only be realy obvious this way.

From the other post: Do you monitor the temperature of GPU and CPU?

A Memory leak is the term that is used to describe a problem in the memory management of a application or Windows.

It means, in very simple therms, that memory areas that are not longer used are not freed up as it should be the case. That can lead to various problems, the application slowing down is one of them.  

First, as I said, there are several places where the game itself has performance problems, but I haven't seen any that are game-wide.

That means that this is probably not a Game problem or at least not only game related.
You also should test on the Normandy or Eden Prime to avoid mixing this two problems.

• Hit Windows key and X.
• Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator),” whichever option is offered.
• Inside the PowerShell or CMD, enter “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Checkhealth” without quotes. > ENTER.
• If errors are found, notify us. If no errors were found reaped steps 1 & 2.
• Inside the PowerShell or CMD, enter “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” without quotes. > ENTER.
• The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here.
• After it reaches 100%, hit Windows key and X again.
• Again, choose “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command Prompt (Administrator)”
• Inside the PowerShell or CMD, enter “sfc /scannow” without quotes. > ENTER.
• Post the message you receive at the end of the processes here.

Hi, I'm posting the messages I've got. Also, I forgot to answer about GPU and CPU temperatures in the previous post. To be honest, I don't, I don't even know how or where to check them. The only thing I can tell related to temps and please don't laugh is that fans don't seem to be under such pressure while playing MELE as they are for example while playing Borderlands 3 and during gameplay of B3 I never had any FPS drops or audio lags.

Nothing to laugh about, that is a good indicator.

I still would like to make sure and see what happens in your system.

• Download hwinfo64 (The green button) > Install and execute the program > Sensors only. 
  
• Click on the sheet with the green cross (logging) > give the file a name and save it to a place of your choice. 
• Wait 5 Minutes > Start the MELE > Play until the problems start > Stop the hwinfo logging (the sheet again)
• Rename the Log to > ">your name for the file<.CSV.txt"
• Upload the Log file here as you did with the DxDiag.

Furthermore, there are clear indicators in your DxDiag that the component store is damaged.
The component store is what windows uses for repair operations, updates and so on. 
The commandos should fix the store, but I think it is damaged behind repair after what you quoted. 

But let address this later.

Hi, I'm posting my log. I hope I did it correctly. I started new game for it, stopped logging after it's started to lag again on the end of Eden Prime. The whole PC was kinda lagging, I could barely type over here until I closed game.
