Frame rate lag

[Leonid198 0]

I have this weird problem where the frame rate drops to 1 every 3 seconds, I've tried reinstalling, validating, everything except reinstalling windows.

 

The weird thing is, if I set it to windowed mode it still does this, but if I alt tab and look at it in the background with a window in front of it, the frame rate is completely normal!

 

TL;DR: As long as I can put input into the game it lags, the moment it is out of focus it runs fine.

What's your CPU/GPU usage and temperature when this happens?

Is there anything noteworthy in your RPTs?

Are you running mods?  If so, does the problem persist when you're not?

Do you have this problem on all missions or on just one?

My house usage I believe was something like 50%, and so was the CPU I believe, will test this tomorrow.

 

RPTs?

 

No mods, has been happening since I brought the game when it was on sale ages ago, only now decided to ask about this.

 

All missions.

Do you have a USB Headset? Try disconnecting it.

USB headset disconnecting didn't work.

 

30% CPU usage and 50% you on main menu, which the rendered background of it gets the same frame lag, the sound stops as well when the frame lag occurs.

 

Checking RPTs now.

This seems odd...

 

This seems a bit odd too, why is it loading addons on a fresh install?

They are the base game files.

The base game uses the same structure as mods do.

That's the only error out of yours that I didn't see before.

That really looks like sound problems. When it is out of focus it stops sound processing.

Shot in the dark...

Try a different memory allocator in ARMALauncher parameters?
