Valken 622 Posted May 4, 2017 I started experiencing this problem last night. As soon as I actually log into an online game from the lobby, my FPS drops from 40-50 FPS down to about 8 FPS. If I press ESC and the game opens the menu dialog so I can change settings, my FPS shoots back up to 40-50 FPS. Tried both with and without mods. A3L is opened. Running in both 32/64 bit mode. Current Steam build 1.68.141205. But I had NO issues whatever so ever 2 days ago so cannot fix this issue. I did notice Steam was constantly try to verify my mods so I paused it but it did not help. Was there a patch about 2 days ago or Is there some kind of server compatibility? I have no idea how to fix this. I don't want to delete A3 and reinstall AGAIN... I verified the build and all my HDD/SSDs! I did upgrade to a 1060 3 GB GTX 2 weeks ago but it has been flawless until 2 days ago. No other HW or OS changes. HELP! Edit - I logged into a BIS server just to test. No issues. I think it may be the normal server I was playing on. Would different versions create this issue? or perhaps the mission mod itself? I notice it supposedly had some kind of antihack built in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midnighters 152 Posted May 4, 2017 Well is this happening consistently or is it random? It could be something with the mission you are playing. However, huge usage on the drives wether or not it's the game drive or a work drive of such (in my experience) can cause mass fluctuations in fps during run time. Check out some of your settings like antialiasing and try turning it down a bit to see if it still keeps dropping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
