Thank you very much for the response.
I tried everything in your post and there's no change... It's like I'm capped at 2 frames per second. It doesn't matter if I'm in menus, or in the game it stays between 19-22 fps on low or ultra or any video settings.
I've also checked for bottlenecks and both my GPU and CPU are running at around 60% capacity and I have lots of memory.
If anyone had any idea I would really appreciate it.
Try this.... disable vsync in nvidia controls if this is done then do a clean install of new or beta driver.
I am having the exact same issue - i7 4770k clocked to 4.2 Ghz, running Nvidia 660 x2 in SLI. 16GB DDR3. Game is running off a 5400 rpm 3tb western digital.
No solution that I have found - ended up abandoning the game. Thought it might be an issue with NVIDIA adaptive VSync, but other games aren't having trouble. No idea what is going on. GPU usage hovers around 20-30% on ultra (20fps), and goes down to 5% on low (same FPS)
To this point I have tried several NVIDIA legacy drivers, disabling SLI, running in x86 mode, patching directX, virus scans, defragged hard drive, repairing game files, deleting user configs, using custom user configs with different fps caps. Nothing has worked. Very bummed.
I have also abandoned the game and I'm extremely unhappy about it.
The above answers did absolutely nothing to help my issue and feel like a very generic repsonse to any 'unknown' issues.
I'm very disapointed there has not been any more assistance on the issue.
Well other then thinking it could be a program doing it , I am out of ideas other then ruling out windows is helping to make the issue.... I will pass this topic to another person to see if they have any ideas as well... Edit ... have you guys tried to play in settings in Nvidia control panel ?
Test your windows for errors
This works in all windows O/S vista Win7, Win8 and Win8.1 windows system file checker :] Copy and past this to note pad and put it on your desktop. As open programs can give you errors when you run this.
...... sfc /scannow ..... ever hear of it if not your going to love this .... it will inspect all the important windows files as well as the windows DLL files. If windows system file checker finds any issues with the windows files and windows DLL files it will replace them. This little tool as well as the event viewer saved me and fully helped me fix my BF4 issues as well as saved my .... many a format since I found it. This is the best toy they ever put in windows :]
For win7 go to start left click in search type cmd and right click cmd pick run as admin
For win 8.1 right click start bottom left of screen and pick command prompt admin
1 - Open administrator command prompt and close web pages and programs like origin.
2 - Type or copy and paste in sfc /scannow and hit enter, This takes 5 min to 15 min SSD vs HD
3 - This can go one of a few ways ..... no errors ... it fixed some errors ..... could not fix all errors...... does not finish checking and errors out ....... and the last one could not fix errors at all :/
4 -After its done reboot and do it again even if you had no errors the first time or had errors, could not fix ... run sfc /scannow again and when its done a second time reboot. You need to do this a and get no errors 2 x in a row ...
5- So if you ran it 2x and no errors your safe you can stop now for now lol, If you had errors first time but not the second then run sfc /scannow again and when its done reboot. You need to get could not find any errors 2 x to be safe. If it still finds errors try and run it a few more times until it finds no errors 2x AND ALWAYS REBOOT BETWEEN RUNNING sfc /scannow
6 - If you get a message indicating that it can not be repaired and you ran sfc /scannow more then 3x in a row on win vista or 7 mm you need a format or try repair win 7 :/ But after format or repair and all updates are done run sfc /scannow to make sure your windows is stable same deal 2x error free reboot between them.
If your O/S is Win8 or Win 8,1 then you can run this next command / line in administrator command prompt. Sadly this does not work for win vista or 7 :/ It will restore the health of your PC and you dont lose anything and it will also fix errors in the registry :]
dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth ------- ONLY works for windows 8 and 8.1
7 - When its done reboot
