QuasarMay Please manually limit your in-game framerates, as described here:

If that doesn't help, please post a new dxdiag, both so I can look for new issues and so I don't have to keep referencing your older thread.

been awhile because of life and such but finally was able to test it today so far seem to run well will let u know if anything problems so still having some lag and such so giving it a bit more time to to see i thank you.

It seems to be running better but ty but also unsure if it’s related to it or not there’s still a type of crashing notice when going to the map when zoom out Birds Eye view which happens here and there.
QuasarMay Is that with snow, or rain puddles, or neither? Is there any other pattern to the crashing?

This one seems seperate but unsure as for now I turned down draw distance to low to see if it did anything but it seem to crash at times when going to the map view. Unsure if related to snow since happened during when snow was melting.
QuasarMay Then I'd like a new dxdiag, and also let me know the context if it happens again.

i Don't know what causing it the it dosen't happen all the time but i think having it could of been the draw distance possibly hence i put it on low... well after seeing older posts but unsure if could be anything else.
QuasarMay Please update your graphics driver (again). A couple of recent Nvidia drivers had some stability issues, and that can't be eliminated as a source of error. The current driver is fine as far as I can tell. And make sure your framerate limit is still in place after updating (check in-game). It should be, but occasionally a setting gets lost in an update.

Has crashed again but much quicker this time after updating once again very confused if it's snow related too or not.
QuasarMay You need to confirm in-game that the fps limit is being respected. It should be with this Nvidia setting, but don't assume that. The cheat fps on will put a counter in the upper-right corner.
Please test with NO snow on the ground as well. Bring up the cheats console (ctrl-shift-C) and enter testingcheatsenabled true , then shift-click the ground and select Seasons to see various options to change the season and weather. Set the snow depth to zero in addition to forcing a sunny day.
