Re: NFS 2015 FOR PC, FPS DROP!

@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 ☹️

    @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.. 🙂

    @wjsorensen

    Did you have this app running as well? We tried troubleshooting your system in another thread to no avail.. ☹️
