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...

A few things I noticed on the Citadel:
- I get framedrops on the Presidium when there are a lot of reflections, especially the embassies.
- My GPU and CPU usages aren't nearly maxed out, so I'm not sure what's happening there.
- My effective framerate feels lower than the framerate I'm seeing in overlay software. (e.g. if it says 60, it actually feels like 30.)
- This doesn't happen in most other locations I've visited.
I'm getting flashbacks to Star Wars Squadrons, where originally, players with high refresh rates would get 30fps, even if RivaTuner or the Origin overlay said it was 144fps. (This has since been patched.)

I think this might be an optical illusion. I have discovered that the reflections don't run at the same framerate as the rest of the game, so that's why the game feels more sluggish to me in areas with lots of reflections in them.
Edit: Digital Foundry confirmed that the reflections are capped at 30fps.
Tldr, BioWare don’t want to answer and don’t care about this issue. They don’t want to spend time to communicate or update the peons here on their official ea help forum. We are too beneath them for that.
I know they not gonna fix this issue. They don’t even have the balls to admit this to their players that have this problem.
but they so quick to delete any posts that offends their fragile egos like a rabbit in heat.
makes me laugh lol
