Extreme performance drops since last patch

#1 - July 30, 2013, 2:52 p.m.

hey there!

Well, as it says in the title: since last patch on 23.7, my game’s been starting to act up and i have extreme fps drops. it used to run supersmooth (40fps+) on highest settings, now it’s down to 30 in character select or while standing around idle and it goes down to 2-8fps when i turn my camera, or with sprite effects, well, basically if anything on the screen moves. if i turn it down to lowest settings, subsample textures and all, it barely seems to manage to climb over 15-25 during any kind of on-screen action.

i didn’t change anything on my setup, all drivers are up to date, so i’m rather clueless….

please halp!

Hi tanztante!

Looking over your Game Advisor report, there’s just a couple of things you may also want to try should the previous suggestions not resolve the issue for you:

1 – You’ve got a number of apps running. Msconfig certainly wouldn’t hurt to rule out any conflicting apps.

2 – Your system seems to be lacking mobo drivers. The reason I say this is we’re seeing a generic driver name here (this can be found under "System Devices):

Name: PCI standard host CPU bridge
Device ID: PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_1605&SUBSYS_00000000&REV_00\3&18D45AA6&0&C5

Driver: n/a

I’d recommend looking up your mobo model # and downloading the latest Chipset, LAN, and Audio drivers to start.

3 – Playing with a Crossfire configuration, I’d also recommend downloading the latest CAP drivers as well if you haven’t already.

Hope this helps!
