anyone?
Do you see any difference in background applications running when you have a smooth-playing game versus the times the FPS drops and you have to restart?
Seems like there might be something lurking in the background that is interfering.
That was one of my first thoughts as well, but no. I have had no background applications running in both instances. None that I can see, anyway.
I should also clarify that when I start the game up and it is running well, it does so from the onset and it stays that way for as long as I choose to play it. When I get a "bad" start-up, it also is like that for as long as I choose to run it. Nothing changes in game in either situation, it seems to be determined from the get go, I never have any drastic fps changes mid-game.
