Re: [CURRENT ISSUE] Incredibly Low FPS when connected to Internet
@roberta591 Thanks for the insight but the SSD has >130 GB worth of free space with TS4 (and Dragons Dogma) running, so it's not the amount of space, and it seems a little odd to me for the problem to be caused by it accessing data on the drive as (as @Fizzyvimto21 has said) the majority of other games work perfectly - FFXIV, Neverwinter Nights, Pillars of Eternity, Heroes of the Storm, Total War: Warhammer, etc. to name a few - each one with varying amounts of resource requirement that surpass what TS4 needs and uses.
My Graphics card is installed and powered correctly.
There are a couple of other threads I've found regarding the same issue but for Dragon's Dogma rather than TS4:
Unfortunately the only workaround that's actually worked is to disable the internet connection.
If you get any other ideas please do suggest them. 🙂
Some of my old googling strongly suggested that these sorts of issues started with an old Creator's Update for W10.
As @Fizzyvimto21 also said, it has sucked the fun out of the game(s); there's no way to play and enjoy the online content and functionality at the same time, and I've given up trying to play them until it's resolved, sadly.
One possible 'solution' for you Fizzy may be to uninstall the Windows 10 Creators Update that seems to have caused this issue, but that's not an option for me as my PC's W10 installation was done long after the update went live. It might be same case for you unfortunately as the update was back in 2017 I think. Alternatively a fresh installation of W10 might be viable, though it's a lot of hassle to go through just to try and repair one or two games that really shouldn't have this problem. We might have to natter on about this at Nvidia's support and possibly Microsoft's.
