Strange fps issue.

MagicalLija · June 2022

First off, I meet the requirements for the game. I don't have the best spec pc, but i still am above the requirements.

About a year ago, the game was fine, 60 fps constantly at 1920x1080, medium-high graphics, few lag spikes, but that was it.
Now when I've returned to the game, it starts out at 60 fps, and then over the span of about 5-10 minutes goes down to 15-20 fps.

I've tried reducing the settings, all the way down, utilising as far as simple shaders in user settings, to no avail.

When everything in the settings is maxed out, I have the same FPS as if everything was set on the minimum.

Anyone know of any secret fps tips I could try out?

I have the same issue. However here are often referred posts/references for resolving the issue, none of them worked for me but might work for you.
