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.
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?
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.
