Unrealistic *MASSIVE* FPS drops

DogFaceInBananaPatch

So what exactly is going on these huge FPS drops?

I run at 100 FPS, and it feels like 100 FPS, but I don't think 100 is correct because the *in game* FPS panel always shows 90-100 FPS with it almost always at 100 (basically I don't think it will display anything higher than 100, but it's probably at 120-150).

So I run at max FPS in the city, around 30, 40, 50+ people (not even incuding NPC's and particales) THEN all of a sudden the game decides it's going to run at 15-20 FPS *at best* and the FPS never recovers.

The one and only thing that restores FPS back to normal (100+) is log to Character Select and back into the game.

How do I make this stop. It's completely random. The environment has no bearing at all for when it happens (in a dungeon, middle of the desert, massively paccked city, *everywhere*).

The first couple times this happened I thought perhaps there was a Windows Background Process but it is NOT that because *relogging* always fixes the problem so it's impossible for that to be it.

You are right, there is something running in the background. Just not what you thought.

Look at this thread, this will work on all platforms on the manual entry. PC does now have an addon available that blocks this automatically. Try it, see if it works for you.
