Unfortunately I am experiencing an FPS issue that renders the game unplayable.
There are occassions during exploration where everything runs smoothly (specifically when I first load the game), then gradually gameplay slows, at times reaching a complete halt, somewhat recovering, then stutter once again, the cycle seemingly getting worse with time.
Additionally, if any cutscenes trigger during these stuttering moments the lag becomes unbearable, though the audio does remain in sync with the lag and the game has not crashed thus far.
After attempts to change graphics settings from Low to Ultra the results remained the same with only very minor performance differences, however the lag/stutter/halt would return on a regular basis at all graphic quality levels.
My Specs:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
GPU: GeForce GTX 670
Memory: 16.00 GB RAM
Resolution: 1920x1080 60 Hz
NVIDIA Driver Version: 344.75
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
I ran four consecutive benchmark tests on the "Medium" setting, each one worse than the one preceding it:
Benchmark Test 1:
FPS
Avg 53
Min 38
Test 2:
Avg: 43.4
Min:17.8
Test 3:
Avg: 37
Min: 14.1
Test 4:
Avg: 32.9
Min 10.1
I would be happy to provide more detailed and specific information if you need. Please help!
