ME1 Citadel FPS Drops
Hi, I started ME1 earlier and was having a blast...until I got to the Citadel. Now I'm just frustrated. Essentially, the game has been running pretty much perfectly at 144 FPS. However, if I walk o...

DICE TeamHey @SageBalance @PilotGW @Crookedpinkies Can you add a Dxdiag so we can see what hardware and drivers you have?
You can also try to do a clean boot to see if there any programs messing with Mass Effect: Legendary Edition and turn off any overlay programs for example Discord or Nvidia experience.

Hi @EA_Atic
Thank you for your reply!
Dxdiag attached, as well as pictures of what I'm seeing.
I tried the clean boot process, but it didn't make a difference unfortunately. I also made sure to disable all overlays that I'm aware of, including Xbox Game Bar, Origin, NVIDIA and RTSS, and although because of this I couldn't see the exact FPS figure, there is definately still a big drop when looking in certain directions.
I played a little more this morning and while other areas of the Citadel are better, I'm still getting drops when panning the camera or looking in certain directions (it's usually worse when looking out towards the majority of a given map).
It just feels very jittery overall. I could be wrong, but I don't remember the original being this bad, and I had vastly inferior hardware back when I last played it.
Hi @PilotGW @EA_Atic @SageBalance @Crookedpinkies
I'm facing the exact same problem. First I thought it was because of my older Hardware (I7 2600k and GTX 970), but now I'm finding more and more reports of people with much better hardware facing the exact same problem.
Suspected V-Sync which is lacking Triple Buffering, but the same result happens with V-Sync off: As soon I exit the embassy and face towards Avina, the performance drops from 120 down to around 45 - 50. Worst point is between Avina and the embassy Fast Travel location while facing towards Citadel Tower. Similar results in the wards, coming from the Med Clinic and walking towards Flux/Markets.
Before that, the performance was great, 120 FPS with V-Sync on my 120 hz Monitor (almost) all the time during Eden Prime. No overlays activated, no controlers etc. plugged in.
