[RESOLVED]Crash and/or FPS drop

**SenpaiSilver** · 03-21-2011, 05:04 PM

Hi !

After maybe 20 minutes of gameplay, the game drop from 60 (capped at 60) to 30 or less FPS (I'm on High at 1768*992 in a window).
When I restart the game I get endless 1 or 2 fps when I have to select a profile and sometimes the game just doesn't start at all.

My specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 OC @3.2GHz
nVidia GTX 285 1Gb
2Gb RAM
Windows Seven 64bit
Main monitor at 1920*1080
Second monitor at 1280*1024

Did you try to update the drivers?

**SenpaiSilver** · 03-21-2011, 06:10 PM

I did, I have the last drivers.

EDIT: The game comes from Steam.

Looks like a driver issue.

It's what I thought until I saw my drivers were up to date, with which driver version does the game work ?
I'll try to downgrade.

**eiahmon** · 03-21-2011, 09:45 PM

The drives could have corrupted, or it was a bad driver install too.

**SenpaiSilver** · 04-01-2011, 04:03 PM

So I didn't downgrade because I didn't really feel like unistalling my drivers, but I felt very patient and... I downloaded each beta since I had problems.
The last version of the nVidia drivers are: 270.51 (beta).

I installed them, launched the game, played an hours or two. Closed the game, started playing 2 hours after and saw that I was at my regular 60 FPS since the new beta Drivers.
I hope it'll help.
