Low FPS issue only ONLINE

[FO]Oggmasta · 11 June 11, 12:18

Hi all ive been having this problem which has completely destroys enjoyment of the game

this is the scenario I play online for a bit say a few hours possibly evan a day then the game starts to loose frame rate down to about 10-15 or less and very unsmooth

but If I go offline the frame rates are fine 40-50 (im not sure how to check )

The only way to rectify this issue is to restart the pc and sometimes as well reboot the router as well.

So far ive tried to remove mods and re-install the games & re-install steam none of which seemed to have worked. Im now going to remove all the skins ive also tried a system restore , but machine refused to restore also ran AV and even double checked port forwarding and made a dedicated server to make sure it wasnt a firewall issue nothing so far has worked

Ill see what happens with the skins but to be honest im not hoefull

as well on game exit race 07 always crashes (EVEN AFTER I REINSTALLED IT AND STEAM) im sure this is connected to the same problem...

Like i said this only occurs ONLINE and only after a period of time....

Anyone got any ideas to resolve this please? im running out P

thx

Addum...

Removing the skins folder had no effect other than stopping the game crashing on exit. going to restart pc an see how it goes.... I know will work ok for a while but will the problem come back???

Run task manager, performance. When you get low FPS park your car or escape to garage and alt+tab to the performance tab and see if you have run out of memory or if your CPU is 100%.

Make sure your virus check is in gaming mode or set not to update. The only other think I can think of is that you are on WIFI and your WIFI program is the straw that brakes the camels back in terms of your memory or CPU. If so then close the WIFI program and use the windows one (the icon in the sys tray or START, Settings, Network Connections.

There really isn't much we can do to help you (though Marlowemaniac suggested good things for you to do already) knowing so little.

Try posting your system's specs:
- OS
- cpu
- gpu

Also, try to see if your firewall allows for GAME mode (several already allow it, ex.: Comodo).

If your system is not powerful enough, then running the simulation+network traffic+firewall+antivirus+antimalware will kill your enjoyment of it - latency issues can become quite serious in this scenario.

Hope this helps in some small way.
