Massive FPS Drop on High Spec Rig ?

No, if you read a few posts above ^^ My system crashed and I had to hard restart.

Well if you have SSAO set to above 32 samples your gpu won't be able to do it.
If I set it up to 64 I will get 20/25 fps gtx570

I'm getting a solid 60 FPS with no drops with SSAO samples set to 128 until a part of the game with speech, where it all goes to hell and I drop down to 15 FPS. My hardware and/or game settings aren't the problem. The 6970 is a fair bit more powerful than the 570 I believe.

Guys it is not that, his system is more than capable of running Amnesia at full settings no matter what. To know if the game is causing something I need a full log. Run the game, load a save until the fps drop occurs and then exit normally. Reattach hpl.log afterwards.

Only 5% at best

There is no reason in having it high as it doesn't get you better graphics at all.

Okay, since the crash I'm getting 30 FPS on the main menu and 15-30 FPS in-game even in the areas where I was playing with 60 FPS earlier. :S

The good news is no more crashes though.

Attached new log, lots of 'could not find entity' and 'does not exist any more' but no real errors that I can see. IDK, you probably have a better understanding of the log than me...

That's why the fps is low, because of the many errors. If you do a file integrity check via steam one or two times do the errors go away (and thus the fps go up)?

[mZLY]

No.

I've tried to verify game files 2 or 3 times and each time it says 100% files checked and doesn't download anything.

You think maybe a complete uninstall/delete and reinstall would help?

[plutomaniac]

Yes, that's what I was going to suggest right now. We fixed a similar problem one or two ways ago by doing that. Uninstall the game via steam (right click > remove local content) and let it redownload and install from the beginning.

[mZLY]

Okay, great. I'll try that then.

I'll get back to you tomorrow or something once I've reinstalled and loaded the game up again.

Thanks a lot for your time and help.
