12 years agoFPS Drops? (PC)
Hey guys I'm not sure if its just me but I get a nice 60-70 FPS but every 5 or so seconds my FPS drops to like 12 or less! My Specs are: AMD FX 6100 6 Core, Clocks @ 3.3GHz 8GB DDR3 Ram 1.2TB...
I believe I have fixed the issue, I can now run BF at 100-200 FPS again,I did a few steps before I tested it, not sure what exactly fixed the issue
anyways, here's what I did:
- open origin
- run repair for the main BF4 game in your games
- hover over BF4 and when the popup appears, click in the 'i' that appears
- right click every DLC you have and run repair again on each of them
- go to the main game icon again and click repair
- update punkbuster (google punkbuster, then download and run pbsetup indicate BF4 by adding a new game and then update it)
- disable windows Aero
- launch the game on any empty server (you should have your FPS back by now)
- close the game
- enable windows Aero again
play game normally with Aero enabled after that, you don't have to disable it anymore.
this should have the issue fixed, it did for me, you guys might want to test out which part fixed the FPS issue
cheers
Edit:
after I did that I realized I had the issue back again, but only after some time playing, so I decided to fire up task manager and AMD catalyst control center and see what's happening and after some time of gaming, voila ! ladies and gentlemen this is a memory leak (I have 16 GB of RAM and only 15 GB usable, and it goes on between 14.7 and 14.8 GB of RAM utilization, of 15 GB... that is the issue:
