[2021] My fps dropped to 45 from 80 suddenly

@azorgrath Hey! Sorry to hear that you are now getting low FPS. Thank you for providing your system specs, this is most useful.

There can be a number of reasons for low FPS so it is best that we cover a range of troubleshooting to try and resolve this for you.

Please try the steps here to see if it helps.

If the issue continues, please let us know.

Thank you.

@azorgrath Thank you for your reply and sorry to hear that this issue has gotten worse.

Thank you for the image, what resolution are you running the game at and do you have any background applications running?

If so can you please close them and see if only running Siege helps improve the FPS.

Thank you.

@azorgrath Hey! Thank you for your reply and sorry to hear that this issue is continuing with other games like UNO.

It does seem strange that this is happening in other games.

Can you try running Windows in safe mode with networking and see if the issue continues. You can find how to start Windows in safe mode with networking here.

We ask that you do this as it allows Windows to run with the minimum configuration, if the game runs as normal it means there is something conflicting with the game when not in safe mode.

Please do let us know if the FPS goes back to normal.

Thank you and we look forward to your reply.

Thank you for keeping us updated on this @Azorgrath. The overlays that some programs and launchers use, can sometimes cause conflict with our games, on certain players systems, much like conflicting software does.

This is because it is running adjacent to the game in the background and connected online too, updating now and then. The more things you have connected online, the more this can also affect your FPS, not just system specs and setup. For FPS issues, I always recommend testing your connection too and disabling any programs that may be using it (which you had already checked) and using an ethernet cable when possible.

I'm happy to see you were able to find a solution to this, if you need any more help or tips you can try for FPS, just let us know in this thread.
