NFS 2015 FOR PC, FPS DROP!

I have no idea why since i play the trial version until now using DELUXE Edition, when the COPS try to catch me, the FPS drop from 60 FPS to 1 FPS after that back to normal! Happens too when cooling down /escaped from COPS, or someone left or join your game! My computer is ROG 751JY using HIGH settings (not ULTRA) and already update my NVIDIA driver to the latest! it is very annoying when you race or drift! If EA cant fix this one, i will return the game! not worthed! Thanks!

    @Straatford87 Thanks for the Reply. I can now report, that it has nothing to do with nVidia Drivers or a clean install of them.

    I followed your Suggestion of doing a clean boot. After disabeling ALL non Microsoft Services I got rid of the strange freezes. I already have a very clean System that's dedicated to gaming, so here are no rogue and shady Background processes besides my Anti Virus Suite (Panda). I also suspected the ASUS Gaming Services because @radewa also has an ASUS System.

    So I re-activated everything except anything named ASUS and Panda. -> Still no Freezes.

    Then I re-enabled Panda. -> No Freezes.

    From the ASUS-Services I only Need the Special Keyboard Drivers to use the Function keys to dim the Keyboard's backlight. -> No Freezes.

    The only Services deactivated now are:

    - ASUS WebStorage

    - ASUS GameFirst

    (And I took the Chance to deactivate all Apple iPod Services but I don't think they have to do with this)

    If I have to blame one of them I would go for the "GameFirst" Service. But since I don't use the ASUS WebStorage I put both to slumber. 😉 Now I can enjoy the Game.

    @Straatford87: Both Services are Default On Services of all ASUS "Republic of Gamers" Systems maybe your tech Department should have a look of this. 😉

    PS: Sorry for the Random Capitals but my german Win10 Auto corrects These while I write ☹️

    @radewa

    Not sure why that would happen. Could you please reply to this thread with a dxdiag? It will allow me to get a better look at your system.

    I have the same Issue. My Laptop is an ASUS too (G751).

    I assume that the issue is triggered via server Access. It occurs when someone joins or leaves the game session and when a snapshot is uploaded. The only non server-only Event is, when the cops are starting to chase me. The Bug is really really annoying. The game freezes for 2-3 seconds and Returns to normal 69 fps afterwards. Since this happens frequently during races it's very frustrating and renders the game unplayable for me at the Moment.

    I attached my DXdiag.txt ... hope this helps.

    @Spunkie_origin @radewa

    Thanks for the detailed information as to when this is occurring in-game.

    Just want to double-check, when upgrading to the latest drivers, did you do a clean install? I would also like to add that while both of you have the same GPU, you have a different driver version and date; at least one of you doesn't have the latest drivers. When running the Nvidia installer, select Custom to do a clean installation.

    Lastly, if the issue persists, please try a clean boot to identify if a background program was causing fps issues.

    @Spunkie_origin

    Thanks again for the detailed post. I am glad to hear that the game is running without issues now on your system. I will be sure to pass on that the ASUS GameFirst app caused issues for you. Thanks for the investigation!

    If you have any further questions feel free to reach out to me again. Hope you're enjoying the game.. 🙂
